Recorded on 8/27/20. This is the 2nd part of a two part video. I share the acapella song We Could’ve Been Good. I was going to go with another one but came across this one first (hence the speeded up part while I was looking 😉 The question of the night was “If you could gift everyone with one skill, what would it be?” Stick around for the end to hear Transe & Hanna’s response.
I hope you enjoy the poems and this moment from 2020. The lyric part of this video has captions added. If you want to learn more about this open mic visit: https://www.instagram.com/fos_thursdays/. We still get together every Thursday via zoom.
We Could've Been Good I saw you standing there I catch my breath for lack of air so handsome, so suave so just my style men like you make life worthwhile I didn’t know your name and that didn’t really matter because in my mind you were already here When that clock strikes 2 The one thing I knew I was gonna be going home with you Oh, We could've been good We could've been something else I’m talking fireworks on the 4th of July Oh we could be great We could make history So come on over baby – take a chance on me so I batted my eyes flashed you my smile sent out every signal to let you know I was single ready and willing, just waiting for you I promise I won’t bite unless you ask me too. Because we could've been good We could've been something else I’m talking fireworks on the 4th of July Oh we could be great We could make history So come on over baby – take a chance on me I saw you standing there across the room I was ready to run to you Part the people like the red sea Suddenly – on came my favorite song Could it be, finally You were coming for me Then you turned you weren’t alone.... Dammit
