Hello Rising Star Gamers

Welcome back again to my Starbits Every Night, a routine post I make on a night time when I play Rising Star Game. Last week we had Lady GAGA as our theme and this week I have picked TIMBALAND as our weekly theme. This is a bit different that the previous weeks because Timbaland is a singer-music producer, not a singer. So some of the song might not be sang by him.

We have been doing this format since August 2023 and I would like to thank to all Giveaway Participant who kept following on our theme. Below is a table describing how we have run this Giveaway

MUSIC OF THE DAY - APOLOGIZE

---

Lyrics

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Too late, oh

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new, yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say sorry like the angel
Heaven let me think it was you
But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground

ONE REPUBLIC DEBUT

This song was a unique one, the first time I saw it on youtube, I was thinking like... who the hell is Timbaland? all he sang was Ayyyy Ayyy Ayyy 🤣 😂

Well later I knew that this was One Republic debut single but got remixed by Timbaland and got a massive International Success. Before, this single was released on myspace and hit the top chart and Timbaland saw it. They needed to do that because they got dropped by Columbia Records months before.

This song strengthen Timbaland position as leading artist and music producer in 2007-2008. A year before he made a massive success with Nelly Furtado and this time he made One Republic first international hit. Months later in the same year, he made Cry Me A river with Justin Timberlake, but that will be our last music of the day from him this Sunday.

This song, Apologize is not about apology. Its about feeling of pain and agony from failing relationship. It's the starting point of moving on.

I am not opening anymore packs during the days I am having Giveaways, this is a pattern I do regularly in order to have my growth maxed. I do not want to be like some players who keep doing Giveaway but their size aren't growing well, maybe stagnant is more appropriate vocab to describe them. Let say I just want to give a good example to others
