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!

This is Week 146 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge, and the theme for the week is “La Union” which translates to The Union. All right, what that sounds like to me… is two lovers finally coming together after being apart for some time…

One of my absolute favourite artists to listen to (with my mom), and cover, is Tracy Chapman. She has a beautiful song called “The Promise” which is a fantastic fit to how I interpret the theme… she is basically saying “Wait for me… I’ll return… and we will have our reUNION!” Here is the original song:

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 be sure to check those out and think of song requests for me?

Lyrics for “The Promise” by Tracy Chapman

If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be in your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.

A place for me in your heart. [3x]

¡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!

Esta es la semana 146 del Hive Open Mic Challenge, y el tema de la semana es "La Unión", que se traduce como La Unión. Muy bien, lo que me suena a mí... es que dos amantes finalmente se unen después de estar separados por un tiempo...

Uno de mis artistas favoritos absolutos para escuchar (con mi madre) y hacer covers es Tracy Chapman. Ella tiene una hermosa canción llamada "The Promise" que encaja fantásticamente con la forma en que interpreto el tema... básicamente está diciendo "Espérame... Regresaré... ¡y tendremos nuestra reunión!" Aquí está la canción original:

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! Por favor, asegúrese de revisarlos y pensar en solicitudes de canciones para mí.

Letra de "La Promesa" de Tracy Chapman

si me esperas
Entonces vendré por ti
Aunque he viajado lejos
Siempre tengo un lugar para ti en mi corazón

si piensas en mi
Si me extrañas de vez en cuando
Entonces volveré a ti
Regresaré y llenaré ese espacio en tu corazón

Recordando
Tu toque
Tu beso
tu cálido abrazo
Encontraré mi camino de regreso a ti
si estarás esperando

si sueñas conmigo
como sueño contigo
En un lugar cálido y oscuro
En un lugar donde puedo sentir los latidos de tu corazón

Recordando
Tu toque
Tu beso
tu cálido abrazo
Encontraré mi camino de regreso a ti
si estarás esperando

te he anhelado
y he deseado
Para ver tu cara tu sonrisa
Estar contigo donde quiera que estés

Recordando
Tu toque
Tu beso
tu cálido abrazo
Encontraré mi camino de regreso a ti
Por favor di que estarás esperando

Juntos de nuevo
Se sentiría tan bien estar en tus brazos
Donde terminan todos mis viajes
Si puedes hacer una promesa
Si es uno que puedes mantener
Prometo ir por ti
si me esperas

Y di que aguantarás
Un lugar para mí en tu corazón.

Un lugar para mí en tu corazón. [x3]

The beauty of two different people from different backgrounds coming together to unite as one is such a great thing. You pick a great choice of music for your entry and I love the setting of your music room. Kudos

She is such a phenomenal songwriter. She's actually very difficult to cover. Her voice is so raw and natural. There's no nonesense there. Just pure beauty and soul. Great job @JasperDick
