HIVE OPEN MIC #144 (ENG/ESP) Melodic Dose: "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" by Simon & Garfunkel

(Ver la parte inferior de la publicación para español)

Hello everybody on Hive and especially the Hive Open Mic Community! My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town in South Africa! I hope everybody is having a good start to the New Year?

This is Week 144 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge, and the theme for the week is “Melodic Dose”. Goodness me, what does that mean and what do you want? Hahaha!

I thought about how songs are made up of lyrics, melody and rhythm, and decided I wanted to do a song where the melody and the way it is sung makes the song beautiful and emotional to whoever is listening, even if there isn’t a driving rhythm behind it, or if the listener doesn’t understand the lyrics… so that’s quite a challenge!

I landed up choosing a beautiful simple poetic love song by Simon and Garfunkel called “For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her”. Have a look at how Art Garfunkel sings it, and Paul Simon plays it, and tell me it doesn’t fit the criteria of my challenge? For me, I think this is one of the most beautiful, Heavenly moments in music ever:

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 would like me to try and post it in the comments here https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/bviejehh?

Lyrics for “For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her” by Simon and Garfunkel

What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways
As I walked on

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I awoke and felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears
Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, I love you

¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la comunidad Hive Open Mic! ¡Mi nombre es Jasper y les escribo (y canto) desde Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica! Espero que todos estén teniendo un buen comienzo para el Año Nuevo.

Esta es la semana 144 del Hive Open Mic Challenge, y el tema de la semana es "Dosis melódica". Dios mío, ¿qué significa eso y qué quieres? ¡Jajaja!

Pensé en cómo las canciones se componen de letra, melodía y ritmo, y decidí que quería hacer una canción en la que la melodía y la forma en que se canta hacen que la canción sea hermosa y emotiva para quien la escucha, incluso si no hay un impulsando el ritmo detrás de él, o si el oyente no entiende la letra... ¡así que eso es todo un desafío!

Aterricé eligiendo una hermosa y sencilla canción de amor poética de Simon and Garfunkel llamada "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her". Echa un vistazo a cómo lo canta Art Garfunkel y cómo lo toca Paul Simon, y dime si no se ajusta a los criterios de mi desafío. Para mí, creo que este es uno de los momentos celestiales más hermosos de la música:

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 publícala en los comentarios aquí https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/bviejehh?

Letra de "Para Emily, siempre que pueda encontrarla" de Simon y Garfunkel

que sueño tuve
Prensado en organdí
Vestida con crinolina de color burdeos ahumado
Más suave que la lluvia
deambulé por calles vacías
Más allá de las pantallas de la tienda
escuché las campanas de la catedral
Tropezando por los callejones
mientras caminaba

Y cuando corriste hacia mi
Tus mejillas sonrojadas con la noche
Caminamos sobre campos helados
De enebro y luz de lámpara
sostuve tu mano

Y cuando desperté y te sentí caliente y cerca
Besé tu cabello color miel con mis lágrimas de agradecimiento
Oh, te amo, niña
Te amo

¡Muchas gracias! Supongo que esa es la diferencia entre tratar rápidamente de aprender una nueva canción que encaje con el tema o cantar una canción que amo y que ya sabía tocar, y disfruto tocarla... Solo puedo cerrar los ojos y disfrutarla. !

It is an absolutely stunning song - I like how the two of them look at each other at the end of the song in the video I shared, and seem to know they made magic... (I don't think they always got along so well!)

Saludos @jasperdick

Una grandiosa canción hermano, jamás la había escuchado, tiene una "dosis melódica" bastante notoria. Me gusta que toques descalzo, es una manera bastante humilde de presentarse.

Un abrazo fraternal

Greetings @jasperdick

Great song brother, I've never heard it before, it has a very noticeable "melodic dose". I like that you play barefoot, it's a pretty humble way to introduce yourself.

A fraternal embrace

Hello! Yes, it is not the most famous song of Simon & Garfunkel, but they made several amazing, but very soft, songs like these as well as the more famous stuff.

Oh, hahaha! I never wear shoes indoors and prefer not to outdoors if I can get away with it!

Your voice is so powerful, sir @jasperdick !! I like how you play the guitar as well. I think your voice really suits some countryside songs. 😊😇

Thank you so much! I've always thought my voice is quite versatile and allows me to get away with trying various styles when I do covers... this was actually a bit of a challenge when it came to deciding how I wanted to sing on my own songs. In the end, I think I have landed up being quite versatile on them as well, and sing in ways that seem to suit each original song separately! I have definitely written some country and blues songs of my own, and I love singing them!

Hello! That's great - you have excellent taste! Are you familiar with Paul Simon's "Graceland" album? As a South African, that is a particularly special album for me - please check it out!
