Pilani Bubu - Hopes Springing High ft. Sisonke Xonti, Sydney Mavundla
South African Music Award winning singer-songwriter, storyteller and creative activist Pilani Bubu, collaborated with Caged Bird Legacy LLC, in licensing Maya Angelou’s poem ‘Still I Rise, and has composed it to music. She debut’s this first ever mini-orchestra live performance piece of the poem turned to song. And the very first version of the poem as a song. This mini orchestra recordings were inspired and provoked by the escalating racial, domestic and gender issues that emerged during the Covid 19 Pandemic. To share a symbol of hope with many lives lost globally including the global uprising, supporting #BlackLivesMatter, the scourge of GBVF which mainly affects black women globally. And today, a reflection on Human Rights as we face the rise of fascists and imperialists who wage war in Ukraine and Palestine and the continued civil unrest and resource exploitations of Congo and Sudan. May this song amplify a message of human rights and inspire hope.

I am where the music lives, there’s no where I’d rather be, cause this is love. I’m beyond the bass and drums I feel strings strum in my heart. I feel your thumb strums in my sky cause this is love. PreChorus I’m floating on notes and tones. I’m soaring on clouds of bars. I’m singing on a major scale, I’m leaving all the minor behind. Chorus This is love, this is love, this love. This is music, this is love, this love. Yeaaaah. Verse 2: Angel wings wrapped around me Halo’s shine right above me, Oh is this real? Warm harps that found me, Deep trumpet sounds around me, They help me heal! Joy fills your heart, when you do what you love. You feel like you’re apart of Gods divine. Cause this is love. PreChorus I’m floating on notes and tones. I’m soaring on clouds of bars. I’m singing on a major scale, I’m leaving all the minor behind. Chorus This is love, this is love, this love. This is music, this is love, this love. Yeaaaah. Bridge When you turn nothing into something, turn the message into words, and you make it rhyme… Then this is love This is love.. PreChorus I’m floating on notes and tones. I’m soaring on clouds of bars. I’m singing on a major scale, I’m leaving all the minor behind. Chorus This is love, this is love, this love. This is music, this is love, this love. Yeaaaah. Outro This love This is God This is Music Skat… Repeat #PilaniBubu #diud #wheresmytune
