Rough Draft..."Cover Song"

If they say that time repeats itself then, hopefully we're doin' it better this time around. I go on youtube pretty often, because I don't do much and whatever I do, do, I do it on this computer. How many people do you think get famous of the youtube now. There was Passion, the original pioneer who did it through soundclick. Then Gabe Bondoc, then sprung on people like Lydia Paek, Rin on the Rox, AJ Rafael, and a million other people who record themselves singing on youtube, and get instant world wide...web success. How many of these people do you know on youtube, are actually famous for...singing their own songs.(let's disclude Passion from that) When you hear about these people it's always "Hey, did you hear fricken Mark Mejia and Albert Posis sing, Something Special by Usher?", or "Did you hear Gabe Bondocs Medley of Justin Timberlake, SWV and John Mayer?". I'm not saying that it's bad, I mean, I love Gabe Bondoc's One Take Sessions, and Cathy Nguyens version of "Lucky". Why do these people get more views, subscriptions and get followed by thousands of poeple across the nation? If you think about it, if Passion got signed, He'd be a platinum artist by now. These people, do their own version of someone elses stuff. They not only do it thier way, but they do it, better. 

So they say time repeats itself, well, then we're living in times Cover Song. The first Doctor or Comedian or Rapper never said that they were the only ones going to be performing open heart surgery, making fun of presidents, and rockin' a jesus piece. Almost everything has been done, and in every decision we make and experience we have someone else has been through it before, what makes it you, is how you take to it, and how you do it your way, whether it be the wrong choice or the right one. Someone else is going to experience the same thing later and it's going to remind them of how you played that version of that "song", and they might do it better than you. We all got songs to cover. - God is Love
