So i'm back in Otuoke my school community to tend to some unfinished business. I've been singing in doors a lot today and i just had a feeling to go go out to the university compound, at the center there's a building called the fountain block which has now become my most recent outdoor singing spot. Even though there were a few people passing and watching while i sang, it's a far cry from when school is in session so i'll be doing a lot more singing here as well as in other public places too. I've found that singing in public makes me feel like a bird with plenty sky.

Today i bring you a song from Sam smith's In the lonely hour albulm, a body of work that was my companion for the most part of 2015. The songs on that body of work were therapeutic for me in that i saw someone who could relate to my pain and express them in such an artistic way. I was greatly inspired and it helped me shed a tear or two when i need it. I relish this opportunity to perform this iconic sad song and i hope you enjoy my rendition.

I made this video in a single take as part of a personal training technique, please tell me what you thought of it : )

IDrowning shadows Running a round

chasing hearts

chasing bodies to fix the parts I dont know how

I reached this place

So far from heaven,

so far from grace

Am i wrong to give into the pressure chz i feel like this city's got the better of me

All this casual love isn't what it seems

and i try to imagine something closer to somebody who is good for me

i'm so tired of all this searching

do i do i do i

do i go home to nothing

or stay out for more

give into someone

or lock down my door

I'll drown all of my shadows

drown them like before

i'm drowning shadows once more

once more

once more

go home to nothing or stay out for more

and i drown all of my shadows

drown them like before

i'm drowning shadows once more
