Hi hivers, this is my first time doing this challenge by @ablaze known as the #Threetunestuesday or #ttt. I have seen so many writers on like @coquicoin @olawalium and @princessbusayo doing this challenge over the weeks. So I thought I should try it out today let’s see how I do.

For today I am going to be picking musics from one of my favorite duo of all time called the NICO and VINZ. A Norwegian-African artist that have been “killing” it for me over the years. Their biggest album black star elephant was my favorite album for years because I enjoyed playing all the songs in the album. I would love to mention that I would have loved to talk about all the songs on the album but because of this challenge I am only going to be choosing 3.

First on my list is ..

WHEN THE DAY COMES

I'm ready for war
I'm ready for action, now watch me kick in the door
But what if the day comes when we go from sun to monsoon
Who can I run to, run to, run to
Will you be loyal, will you be true when I need you (say)

lyrics source.

This is probably one of my best Nico and vinz song because it centers about the struggle of everyday life. Staying inspired and become the warrior you want to be in order to fight the good fight to the end. Life can be very hard sometimes and we need to channel that inner warrior within us if we want to survive and this song gives me that vibez

** IN YOUR ARMS**

I feel like Superman, they gon' remember me
I think I know I can, who says it's hard to reach
Who's gonna stop me on the road to success?
I don't know

This song is very nice. The melody and the story behind the song talks about a man who had lost his wife and daughter and is building a time machine to go back in time to see them again and make sure he doesn’t make the same mistake. I love this song.

AM I WRONG

https://youtu.be/bg1sT4ILG0w

I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction; I'mma be on the top of the world
Hope you, hope you don't look back, always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel
Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel

This is the song that made me find Nico and vinz. I remember hearing this song for the first time. I was so excited with this new sound which was a mixture of pop and native African sound I fell so in love with the kind of music they made and hence I listened to the full album. You should listen to the full album titled “Black star elephant”. Thank me later.

So that is my playlist for today. Hope you enjoyed it?. @ablaze this is my submission for the #ttt or #three-tune-tuesday. Thank you all for reading.
