Hello everybody on Hive and especially the PukoMundo Community! My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you Cape Town in South Africa! This is Week 55 of “The Singing Voice” or “La Voz Cantante” challenge – it’s my 6th time contributing!

So the aim of the game is to play a rock cover, or perhaps a cover of a genre that led to the formation of rock music. I think it is well established that blues contributed greatly to the invention of rock-and-roll. The song I’m going to sing is by a band that mixed country, blues and rock ‘n roll into their overall mixture of sound… I’m talking about Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the song I’m going to choose is “Midnight Special”!

Here is the original version of the song, I hope you enjoy it!:

**By the way, I am doing a weekly post on Thursdays where I ask for cover song requests in the comments, and then if I attempt your song in the following week's post, you become a beneficiary to 50% of the post's rewards in HP! Please think of a song you’d like me to try and look out for my Thursday posts! **

Lyrics for “Midnight Special” by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Well, you wake up in the mornin'
You hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table
You see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table
And no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy
You get in trouble with the man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Yonder come Miss Rosie
How in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron
And the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the gov'nor
She want to free her man, oh
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
If you're ever in Houston
Well, you better do right
You better not gamble
There, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya
And the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy
Whoa, you're prison bound
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me

¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la Comunidad PukoMundo! Mi nombre es Jasper y te escribo (y canto) ¡Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica! Esta es la Semana 55 del desafío "La Voz Cantante" o "La Voz Cantante": ¡es la sexta vez que contribuyo!

Entonces, el objetivo del juego es tocar una versión de rock, o tal vez una versión de un género que condujo a la formación de la música rock. Creo que está bien establecido que el blues contribuyó en gran medida a la invención del rock and roll. La canción que voy a cantar es de una banda que mezcló country, blues y rock 'n roll en su mezcla general de sonido... Estoy hablando de Creedence Clearwater Revival, y la canción que elegiré es "Midnight". Especial"!

Aquí está la versión original de la canción, ¡espero que la disfruten!:

Por cierto, estoy haciendo una publicación semanal los jueves donde pido solicitudes de versiones de canciones en los comentarios, y luego, si intento tu canción en la publicación de la semana siguiente, ¡te conviertes en beneficiario del 50% de las recompensas de la publicación en HP! ¡Piensa en una canción que te gustaría que probara y busca mis publicaciones de los jueves!

Letra de "Midnight Special" de Creedence Clearwater Revival

Bueno, te despiertas por la mañana
Oyes el timbre del trabajo
Y te marchan a la mesa
Ves lo mismo de siempre
No hay comida sobre la mesa
Y sin cerdo en la sartén
Pero será mejor que no te quejes, chico
Te metes en problemas con el hombre
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz siempre amorosa sobre mí
Allá venga señorita Rosie
¿Cómo demonios lo supiste?
Por cierto ella usa su delantal
Y la ropa que llevaba
Paraguas en su hombro
Pedazo de papel en su mano
Ella viene a ver al gobernador
Ella quiere liberar a su hombre, oh
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz siempre amorosa sobre mí
Si alguna vez estás en Houston
Bueno, será mejor que hagas lo correcto
Será mejor que no juegues
Ahí, es mejor que no pelees, para nada
O el sheriff te agarrará
Y los chicos te derribarán
Lo siguiente que sabes, chico
Whoa, estás atado a la prisión
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el especial de medianoche brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz siempre amorosa sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz sobre mí
Deja que el Midnight Special brille una luz siempre amorosa sobre mí

It is definitely a sing-along-song! With songs like this I seem to emphasize a rhythm. The original is actually a bit more subtle... Haha!

Hello!

😆

The story of my life! Zooming around at a commendable pace!

I'm actually restraining myself, slowing down and taking some much needed bleated rest for a while... it's hard, I tell ya! It's been a while...

But also...

I could get in to this.

I even started reading again. Fuck I love reading. I almost forgot!

And music. I discovered MixCloud. Only this last week or two. OMG! 👀 I'm in heaven...

And art... been making some while I listen (and dance)... OMG! I forgot how much I enjoy this and not talking so much...

And look 🙄... I talk too much!

I'm around but deciding which path to follow for the next while. So a bit quieter and that's nice for a change.
