MUSIC: A Weekly Request-a-Song Competition where the Post Reward is Shared with the Winner!

in Hive South Africa2 years ago (edited)

Hello everybody on HIVE and especially those on the Hive South Africa Community!

I am one of @zakludick's new students on HIVE... I joined HIVE in mid-April 2022, and since then I have been able to reach 1100HP, and hopefully this is just the beginning! I am lucky in that music (mainly acoustic guitar and vocals but I mess around on whatever else I can find...) is one of my main hobbies, and between the "HIVE Open Mic" and "Three Tunes Tuesday" challenges, I'm basically locked into some making a couple of posts every week consistently. I'm noticing that my ability to learn new songs, and my general musical skills are improving as a result which is great and lots of fun!

@zakludick has been a wonderful mentor to me on my HIVE journey, answering all of my questions. He has also been a great mentor to many other South African newbies on HIVE, such as @clairemobey, @lex-zaiya, @pixelhuntersam, @stevemuis, @loadreaper and @michieme , and I know both he and I would love to see them all grow into minnows and beyond before 2022 is over!

So, I have had an idea for one more music-performance related post per week, where I ask for cover requests, and then in the next post I attempt the winning cover request in the previous comments section - starting with the comments section of this very post. My plan is to share the performance of the winning cover on the Music Community on Thursdays, and then to share 50% of the post rewards with the account that made the winning cover request.

Here are some examples of what I sound like on guitar and vocals, to help you think of some requests:

@pixelhuntersam has already requested a cover of "Toss a Coin to your Witcher" from the Witcher series, and she wants it heavy like this!:

Can anybody else I have tagged, or anybody else on the HIVE South Africa Community, beat this request?

Let's hear it in the comments below, then let me try to play it... and together we share in the spoils! This offer will be exclusive to HIVE South Africa for a short time, before I offer it to everybody around the world on the Music Community!

THE END

Sort:  

Hahaha, you don't have to do it heavy if you don't want. And by the way, that song was stuck in my head all day yesterday after I made that post, haha!

my song request is the one piece S4 opening but you only need to start from 30sec in no need to worry about the beginning speech

This song is bonkers! The energy!

This is why my favourite out of all of the English translated one piece openings I just love the message that it has in it

This is freaking GREAT @JasperDick! Brilliant idea!

Let's hear a request then! Perhaps you are going to have to help on some of these posts in the future as well!

Deal! I'm in. I will consider my request ideas 😉🤔

Hahaha you're kind of missing this week's boat entirely but hopefully it becomes a weekly thing!

I was hoping it would 😜🤘

You can still request stuff, unless you plan to sing some with me occasionally!

I totally do intend to sing with you 😉 I'm wracking my brain for a request. I know the right one will come to me..... Eventually

Here is my pick - Chlorine from Twenty One Pilots. Do it your style!

I've actually never heard this one before!

Maybe we'll do it together sometime. For fun.

I love the music from the witcher it has such a middle age vibe to it

Haha - Oh dear, so no request of your own? You may (hopefully) get a few HP for free!

Great to have you with us.

Yay! I hope you make a request, no matter how challenging! PS. Is that Broly in your picture?

Yup, I'm a huge fan of Broly, the old version and the new version. I have a model of him somewhere, but it needs to be fixed to his base so he can stop falling off his base!
As for a request, what about this?

Beautiful song but where would I start? That sounds like it would need a collaboration across the world on HIVE!

Besides the Dragonball Z series (Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu) that used to repeat endlessly on SABC TV when we were kids instead of SABC ever forking out money to buy more, I've only seen some other Dragonball stuff on YouTube... Is there a better way to get to watch it all it once? Last time I checked there was a battle of the universes and Jiren was the toughest opponent...

Crunchy roll is your best bet. It's not too expensive for a monthly subscription.
As for the song, that's just one of my favourites at present.

and thank u @jasperdick for the delegation it helps a lot.

I'd definitely go for "Ripple" by The Grateful Dead :)

I've never heard of this one either. At least I'm discovering new songs!

Well if you don't do it, I'm gonna!

This one has a very special meaning to me :)

But no pressure 😈

@stevemusic said the following when I pitched this idea:

Awesome idea and venture @jasperdick . This week I will keep it local with a song from back in the day that always hits home with me in ways that certain songs can for different people......"This Boy" by Sweatband/ Wendy Oldfield.

Yay! 🤗
