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 plus it helps me work on my shyness problem so i'll be doing a lot more singing here as well as in other open spaces. I've found that singing out in the open 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 even though the original has a piano accompaniment, I hope you enjoy my acapella rendition.

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