Hive Open Mic week 126 Trusting In The process

in Hive Open Mic2 years ago

I had to find out about this weeks theme because I didn't really understand what it meant. I found out that I am not the sort of person who 'trusts in the process'. I like everything to be planned down to the smallest detail and even then I worry that something will go wrong.

If you are like me, and you like to plan absolutely everything, all your careful plans can get thrown out the window when someone else gets involved.

The song I have chosen is about how everything in your life can be changed in a single day, by finding the right person for you. When you meet that person you must trust the process of falling in love, and not over think it.

This song uses the melody of Maria Grever's 1934 Spanish song "When I return to your side." (Cuando Vuelva a Tu Lado) The English version 'What a Difference a Day Makes' was first recorded that same year and has been re-done many times since, although Dinah Washington's version is the most famous.

I recorded the piano and vocal together, then added some drums and a bass line afterwards using Logic Pro.

Tuve que averiguar sobre el tema de esta semana porque realmente no entendía lo que significaba. Descubrí que no soy el tipo de persona que 'confía en el proceso'. Me gusta que todo esté planeado hasta el más mínimo detalle y aun así me preocupa que algo salga mal.

Si usted es como yo, y le gusta planificar absolutamente todo, todos sus planes cuidadosos pueden tirarse por la ventana cuando alguien más se involucra.

La canción que he elegido trata sobre cómo todo en tu vida puede cambiar en un solo día, encontrando a la persona adecuada para ti. Cuando conoces a esa persona debes confiar en el proceso de enamoramiento, y no pensar demasiado en ello.

Esta canción utiliza la melodía de la canción española de 1934 de María Grever 'Cuando vuelva a tu lado'. La versión en inglés 'What a Difference a Day Makes' se grabó por primera vez ese mismo año y se ha vuelto a hacer muchas veces desde entonces, aunque la versión de Dinah Washington es la más famosa.

Grabé el piano y la voz juntos y luego añadí algo de batería y una línea de bajo.

Lyrics
What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there use to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you, is you

Qué diferencia hizo un día, veinticuatro pequeñas horas
Trajo el sol y las flores donde solía haber lluvia
Mi ayer fue azul querido
Hoy soy parte de ti querida
Mis noches solitarias han terminado querida
Desde que dijiste que eras mía
Oh, qué diferencia hizo un día
Hay un arcoíris delante de mí
Los cielos de arriba no pueden ser tormentosos desde ese momento de dicha
ese beso apasionante
Es el paraíso cuando encuentras romance en tu menú.
Qué diferencia hace un día
Y la diferencia eres tú, eres tú

Nothing much to say here. I'm blown away❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

@drstrings Ah thank so much for your kind comment. It's one of my favourite songs and the hive open mic gave me a good reason to record it.

I love how you play and sing at the same time. I play piano too, but when it comes to singing at the same time while playing, it's just the hardest thing ever. How do you do that?

Ah thank you so much. I've been playing piano and singing together since I was 13 and that was a very long time ago...so all I can say is that it gets easier the more you do it.

Oh, a day can make a massive difference :)

Not sure I've heard you sing this before, but I !LUV it.

Ah thanks @steevc I don't generally perform this live because it sounds so much better with drums and a bass line...but sadly I can't play all three at the same time...🤣

Maybe you need to put together another band for this sort of material :)

!BEER


Hey @purplesinger, here is a little bit of BEER from @steevc for you. Enjoy it!

Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

For a long time, I have really been a person who wants everything working out as planned, but recently, life has really thought me on the importance of trusting the process and just remain hopeful that everything will work out just fine.

I wish I could just be more relaxed about things sometimes.

When we find out that some of these things are not within our control, we just realize we have to worry less and hope that things play out in our own way.

Barbara that was beautiful 😍, you really are amazing with your voice and your keyboard playing 💖 adding the drum and bass accompaniment was very cool, it gave the performance the precise dynamism for this genre of music, nice job 👍😉!!!!

I think I understand you hahaha, regarding being planned, I'm usually like that and I think that leads us to be strict sometimes and perfectionist, but you can trust the process when you know that everything will flow well don't you think?

Thank you so much for giving a great start to this week of the Hive Open Mic with this magical presentation, best regards 🌹! ¡You Rock! 🙌😀💛

PS: it is important that the source of the lyrics of the song has the direct link to the page where you got it!!!

Hi @fernanblog thank you for your kind encouragement. I do struggle to let things go, even just a little bit. This trait does lead to a certain amount of angst. Also thank you for picking me up on links. I'll include the direct link for lyrics if I use them on my next post.

It is with pleasure 🌹 and hey, don't let that dominate you, as it wears you down mentally and limits you to live well and calm, always flow and allow yourself to trust much more in what you do; you are amazing, sometimes we can't be in control of everything, there's the exciting thing about life!!!!

See you in your next post, have a happy and blessed week 🙏💖, don't forget that.... You Rockkk!!!! 👍😉🔥🎙️🎹🎶❤️🌟🥂💥💫💯

What an amazing performance. My mother is a Jazz singer and event organiser ,she has sung this tune a few times. If you are interested in playing some gigs in Scotland I'm sure she could help you find new places to play :).

@celticheartbeat ah thank you for your very kind comment..I'm an awfully long way from Scotland though.

Wuao!! Que extraordinaria presentación 🤗🎧👏👏👏💫🌟🔥🎹 amiga @purplesinger eres una gran artista, mucho talento aquí. En cuanto a tu escrito dónde dices que te gusta tener todo planificado te sugiero que te dejes sorprender a veces planificar tanto y que no salga como lo esperas causa mucho estrés y eso no es bueno para la salud. Felicitaciones y sigan los éxitos para tí, un gran abrazo desde Venezuela🤗🎙️🎶🎶🎶💥💐🎵🎵🎵🙏🎵💐🥰💛❤️💜💙🧡💞

wow!! What an extraordinary presentation 🤗🎧👏👏👏💫🌟🔥🎹 friend @purplesinger you are a great artist, a lot of talent here. Regarding your writing, where you say that you like to have everything planned, I suggest that you let yourself be surprised. Sometimes planning so much and not turning out as expected causes a lot of stress and that is not good for your health. Congratulations and follow the successes for you, a big hug from Venezuela🤗🎙️🎶🎶🎶💥💐🎵🎵🎵🙏🎵💐 💛❤️💜💙

Beautiful theme dear friend, a melody that to me produces peace, the piano accompanied by your voice, are really fantastic.

I think that somehow being planned, as you say you are, is also a way of trusting in the process, because that is your personal process. However, just because things don't work out doesn't mean it's wrong, you just have to look for another approach.

I wish you much success and happiness.

Thank you @maitt87 for your very kind response and thank you for listening to my recording.

This is lovely, Barbara. You have a great pop voice, but it translates beautifully into jazz too. I'm not big into trusting processes either 😀 I think you probably trust in your own processes, with good reason! This one worked out very well, anyway.

Thank you Danielle. I love this song. One day I'll sit down and record it properly. It's one we could do as Purple swing maybe?

Very nice song, excellent interpretation... I really enjoy your presentations...

Many successes and blessings my friend! ❤️

@gemafreya1234 thank you so much for listening to my recording and for your kind comments.

WOW, this is very PROFESSIONAL, you are great, I congratulate you, you are a great artist ❤👏👏🌼

Thank you so much for listening to my recording and for your very kind comment.

I was delighted with your voice and way of expressing yourself with the keyboard. Nice to meet your talent. ¡¡wonderful!! 🤗👍

Lovely version!
I didn't know it's based on a Spanish song! Wow!
Live and learn, ey? Haha
Great job, Barb, hope you play it for us soon! xx

Ah thank you Anke. I love the song...it has such sweet lyrics. x

First time to hear this song, I love the melody and the lyrics. You have a beautiful voice dear.

Woooowww amazing musical melody and voice @purplesinger!!!

That was a wonderful song with a lovely voice from you. Truly, when we trust the process, a day can make a big difference and we would be glad for being patient.
