Ahí les comparto algo que surgió hoy en la tarde. Amenazaba el cielo con lluvia y no sabía bien si salir o quedarme haciendo música. Al final alcanzó el tiempo para ambos.

Les cuento que esto fue grabado con el celular y si bien la calidad no es la mejor, creo que está rebuzno hacer maquetas como estas para algun día producirlas mejor. O tal vez justamente es lo que falta en este mundo de hipertecnologia, cosas mas crudas y orgánicas.

Un cover a estos grandes del reggae en Perú. Me llega la letra porque aunque muchos te puedan decir cual es el camino, la caminata es individual y cada uno recorrerá observando diferentes cosas, a distinto paso y girando en distintas direcciones. Aun estoy aprendiendo la cancion pero subo este corto por mientras hasta que la tenga completa.

Saludos espíritus, hoy les comparto una canción que escribí hace mucho tiempo. Estoy en proceso de revisar mis libretas y empezar a publicar tanta cosa que he creado pero que me he guardado por falta de fe en mi mismo principalmente.

>Greetings spirits, today I share with you a song I wrote a long time ago. I am in the process of going through my notebooks and start publishing so many things that I have created but have kept for lack of faith in myself mainly.

Aquí la letra:

Yo reconozco

Que no hago todo por amor

Hay mucho hipócrita en el mundo

Haciéndose el santurron

Se hacen las victimas

Fingiendo inocencia

Por Dios

Mejor quedar como un diablo

A ser un falso pastor

Hay gente buena en este mundo

Y casi nunca los ves

Ellos te ayudan en silencio

Sin cobrarte ni un diez

Pero yo siempre estoy

Pensando en lo que puedo comer

Gula y lujuria me corrompen

Que le voy a hacer?

Si Dios creo delicias

Yo quiero disfrutarlas

No puedo resistir

El sabor de tu piel

Ya no seré un santo

Por culpa de tu encanto

Tus curvas me desviaron

Y no pienso frenar

En esta lucha entre el deseo y la virtud

Solo tú puedes liberarme de mi esclavitud

En ti encuentro y abrazo la contradicción

Tu abres las puertas que me llevan a la creación

Siempre me esfuerzo por vivir tranquilamente sin ti

Pero al menor descuido vuelvo a perseguirte así

Quiero montarme en tus latidos y dejarme llevar

A un horizonte infinito donde siempre estarás

---

Tengo hasta una idea de vídeoclip para esta canción, quizás algún día lo logre. Espero les guste, gracias pela atençāo e seu tempo.

>Here are the lyrics:

>I recognize

>That I don't do everything for love

>There are many hypocrites in the world

>Playing the sanctimonious

>Playing the victim

>Pretending innocence

>For God's sake

>Better to look like a devil

>Than to be a false guide

>There are good people in this world

>And you hardly ever see them

>They help you in silence

>Without charging you a dime

>But I'm always

>Thinking about what I can eat

>Gluttony and lust corrupt me

>What can I do?

>If God created delicacies

>I want to enjoy them

>I can't resist

>The taste of your skin

>I won't be a saint anymore

>Because of your charm

>Your curves led me astray

>And I won't slow down

>In this struggle between desire and virtue

>Only you can free me from my slavery

>In you I find and embrace the contradiction

>You open the doors that lead me to creation

>I always strive to live peacefully without you

>But at the slightest carelessness I come back to chase you like this

>I want to ride on your heartbeat and let myself be carried

>To an infinite horizon where you'll always be

---

Thanks for your time and attention.

Bye!

Quise escribir una canción sobre la riqueza para participar en el Hive Open Mic de esta semana, ya que esa es la temática a tratar. A veces me es muy fácil escribir canciones cuando imagino el discurso de presentación que acompañaría a dicho tema, así que pues aquí va mi discurso.

>I wanted to write a song about wealth to participate in this week's Hive Open Mic, since that is the theme. Sometimes it's very easy for me to write songs when I imagine the speech that would accompany such a topic, so here goes my speech.

[Imagen portada | Cover imagen](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/mapa-del-tesoro-navegaci%C3%B3n-mapa-1850653/)

La riqueza es uno de esos asuntos en que todos tienen algo que opinar. De entre todas las ideas que circulan, me siento más cercano a aquel dicho: "rico no es quien más tiene, sino quien menos necesita". Pero solo me siento cercano y no representa la totalidad de mi sentir al respecto, ya que este pensamiento me ha llevado más de una vez al conformismo y la mediocridad. Al mirar al pasado he sentido que puede haber asegurado una mejor situación para mí mismo si hubiese dado espacio a una medida adecuada de ambición.

>Wealth is one of those issues on which everyone has something to say. Of all the ideas that circulate, I feel closest to that saying: "wealthy is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least". But I only feel close to it and it does not represent the totality of my feelings on the matter, since this thought has led me more than once to conformism and mediocrity. Looking back I have felt that I might have secured a better situation for myself if I had given room for a proper measure of ambition.

Lo importante de la frase anterior que rescato es que riqueza es un concepto de bienestar, no de acumulación. En eso puedo estar plenamente de acuerdo. La riqueza se puede sentir cuando el mundo material no se percibe como un obstáculo, ni algo que hay que poseer, sino como un espacio para crear, compartir y aprender. Para esto es necesario un cierto nivel de prosperidad económica. ¿Verdad?

>The important point of the previous sentence is that wealth is a concept of well-being, not of accumulation. In this I can fully agree. Wealth can be felt when the material world is not perceived as an obstacle, nor as something to be possessed, but as a space to create, share and learn. For this, a certain level of economic prosperity is necessary, isn't it?

Aquí hay un pensamiento nuevo (o menos común al menos ya que probablemente todo haya sido dicho por alguien alguna vez): "rico es quien cuenta con los medios para transformar su imaginación en acción".

Por ejemplo, si quisiera lograr mucho en la música puedo pensar por un momento que necesito dinero para grabar y promocionar mi trabajo. Pero la verdad es que teniendo una guitarra y mi voz ya cuento con los medios necesarios para crecer musicalmente, siempre que ponga en valor en las ideas por sobre la acumulación de elementos materiales que "validan" mis logros frente a otros.

>Here's a new thought (or less common at least since it's probably all been said by someone once): "wealthy is he who has the means to transform his imagination into action".

Esta forma de pensar me gusta ya que me evita años de sentirme pobre, batallando por si quiera comenzar la vida que supuestamente quiero. Además, al estar actuando sobre ese sitio, por pequeño que sea, ya estoy dándole a mi mente una probada de lo que sería mi vida si contara con más recursos, incluso dándome la posibilidad de elegir otra ruta que me brinde más gozo y alegría en caso que no me sienta tan a gusto.

>I like this way of thinking because it saves me from years of feeling poor, struggling to even begin the life I supposedly want. Besides, by acting on that place, however small it may be, I am already giving my mind a taste of what my life would be like if I had more resources, even giving me the possibility of choosing another route that will bring me more joy and happiness in case I don't feel so comfortable.

Cuando hablaba de que pude tener más ambición no me refiero a que debí acumular más dinero ni cosas materiales, sino a que debí hacer más, debí transformar más de mi imaginación en acción, pues siempre he contado con los medios pero no lo tenía tan claro. En vez de eso, convenciendome de que ya era rico por no tener necesidades, desperdicié mucho tiempo en la vagancia y todo tipo de vicios que roban la energía.

>When I said that I could have had more ambition, I do not mean that I should have accumulated more money or material things, but that I should have done more, I should have transformed more of my imagination into action, because I have always had the means but I was not so clear about it. Instead, convincing myself that I was already rich because I had no needs, I wasted a lot of time in vagrancy and all kinds of vices that steal energy.

A mí parecer, nuestra imaginación es nuestra mayor riqueza, ya que es inagotable. Sin embargo, no sirve de nada si solo la tenemos ahí en lo etéreo, es más, se vuelve en nuestra contra cuando la dejamos sin atender. Necesita que pongamos de nuestra parte para lograr expresar todo su potencial.

>In my opinion, our imagination is our greatest wealth, since it is inexhaustible. However, it is of no use if we only have it there in the ethereal, indeed, it turns against us when we leave it unattended. It needs us to do our part in order to express its full potential.

Honestamente, ni sabía que iba a llegar a esta conclusión al empezar a escribir este texto, pero está buenísima jaja. Y entonces, aquí va la letra de la canción que surgió en torno a estas reflexiones:

>Honestly, I didn't even know I was going to come to this conclusion when I started writing this text, but it's great haha. And so, here are the lyrics of the song that came up around these reflections:

Es infinita y fluye como un río

Me muestra cosas que nunca antes ví

No entiende nada de lo imposible

Me lleva a lugares, más allá del Sol

Y guarda un mapa hacia otra dimensión

Es muy traviesa cuando no la escucho

Quiere alentarme a vivir en la acción

Si no aprovecho su gran regalo

Se llena de sombras, de angustia y dolor

Porque ella es tan grande, más grande que yo

La imaginación

Es el tesoro eterno de la creación

No habrá

Otra riqueza en la vida que pueda saciar la ambición

Del corazón

Del buscador

Que quiere más

De lo que puede este mundo brindar

Mi biblioteca, mi libro sagrado

Mi conexión más directa con Dios

Llave maestra que abre portales

Semilla abundante del corazón

Que buscas la tierra fértil del amor

La imaginación

Es el tesoro eterno de la creación

No habrá

Otra riqueza en la vida que pueda saciar la ambición

Del corazón

Del buscador

Que quiere más

De lo que puede este mundo brindar

>It is infinite and flows like a river

>It shows me things I have never seen before

>It understands nothing of the impossible

>It takes me to places, beyond the Sun

>And holds a map to another dimension

>She is very naughty when I don't listen to her

>She wants to encourage me to live in action

>If I don't take advantage of her great gift

>She fills herself with shadows, anguish and pain

>Because she is so big, bigger than me

>Imagination

>Is the eternal treasure of creation

>There will be

>No other wealth in life that can satiate the ambition

>Of the heart

>Of the seeker

>Who wants more

>Than this world can provide

>My library, my sacred book

>My most direct connection to God

>Master key that opens portals

>Abundant seed of the heart

>Who seeks the fertile soil of love

>Imagination

>Is the eternal treasure of creation

>There will be no

>Other wealth in life that can satiate the ambition

>Of the heart

>Of the seeker

>Who wants more

>Than this world can provide

Espero les guste y gracias por escuchar 🎵

¿Será que soy traumado? ¿O el mundo en verdad está corrompido hasta la medula? Tal vez nunca fue diferente, tal vez siempre ha sido igual. Siempre me batallo sobre la idea de si hacer musica con letras positivas para que se manifiesten esas cosas, o dar rienda suelta a lo que de verdad siento en el momento.

Hay mucho discurso en internet sobre la idea que somos creadores, que nuestra realidad depende de nosotros, pero si hago un análisis basado en la observación me doy cuenta que eso es solo una verdad parcial.

Cuando las cosas no resultan entonces recurren a que es el inconsciente que está creando para protegerte. Puede ser que así sea, en ese caso me conviene hacer estas canciones que sacan a flote toda esa parte que trato de ocultar por no ser muy "positiva".

Como sea, me he encontrado en el ultimo tiempo con muchas propuestas de personas que luego no cumplen con su parte del compromiso. Yo ilusionado me levantaba temprano para ponerle emoción al asunto y al final resultaba en nada. Así, mi vida se ha mantenido una rutina que no logra diversificarse ni nutrirse porque cada intento de hacerlo está bloqueado por una fuerza invisible.

Por mas que haga afirmaciones positivas y cante con fe, nada cambia, la respuesta sigue igual desde el mundo exterior y me doy cuenta que estoy perdiendo el tiempo.

En fin, tanto que me voy a explicar si al final ya se cual es la respuesta.

Que tal Hive, todo bien?

>Hey Hive, everything ok?

He estado silencioso por aquí, simplemente practicando música, componiendo y escribiendo.

>I've been silent around here, just practicing music, composing and writing.

Hoy he decidido que a pesar de que todo mi proceso músical tiene mucho recorrido por delante, voy a empezar a compartir aquí todo el desarrollo.

>Today I decided that despite my musical process has a long way to go, I'll go sharing the development here.

Después de todo, es una de las grandes bendicioned que ofrece Hice: ayudarte mientras vas avanzando en tus proyectos.

>After all, it's one of the great blessings of Hive: to help you out while you advance on your projects.

Entonces les dejo con este reggae que estoy haciendo, la letra hasta el momento dice:

Motivación, inspiración

fuerza para hace

tus sueños realidad

sin temor a la tormenta

cuando se van las nubes

el sol vuelve a brillar

Agradecer y apreciar

tenemos las herramientas

para levantarnos una vez más

y nuestra energía

volver a enfocar

La ciudad ruge sin consuelo

el amor se desvanece

en fardos de dinero

más, no desespero

concentro mis esfuerzos

en lo que es verdadero

eso que nadie puede comprar

que viene desde adentro

y te invita a crear

lenguaje original

desde las raices nos viene a elevar

>So, I leave you with this reggae, the lyrics so far go like this:

Motivation, inspiration

strength to make

your dreams come true

without fear of the storm

when the clouds go away

the sun shines again

Thank and appreciate

we have the tools

to pick ourselves up once again

and our energy

to refocus

The city roars without consolation

love vanishes

in bundles of money

but, I do not despair

I concentrate my efforts

on what is true

that which no one can buy

that comes from within

and invites you to create

original language

from the roots comes to elevate us

Gracias por tu visita!

My musical journey continues with a lot of daily practice thanks to busking. There's a good and a bad side to it, like most things. The good is spending most of the day doing something I like and the bad is that I sometimes get tired and saturated of the songs.

To get out of busking I decided to record something and Blinding Lights felt like the song I was the least bored of so that's why I chose it. Also, I feel very represented by the song at times, considering I spent the last three years in the forest, without any blinding lights.

Hope you enjoy and I'm always open to constructive criticism 🤘 Uploaded using 3Speak Mobile App

Hey Hive, all good? Today nothing **fancy** for me, I'm here at a gas station drinking a beer while I look in the map how to get back to Paraguay. I'm going there to see how the busking goes because I've been playing over and over at the same market and I don't want to **bore the shit** out of the staff that works there. Gotta give them some time to rest from the same songs hahah.

Life is good overall but I sometimes get caught up in the challenge of how to **improve my situation**. Things tend to degrade faster than I can keep up with. My clothes keep getting stained, my bagpacks are tearing apart, the strings of the guitar are always getting cut and money starts to run out super fast if give myself the space and time to **enjoy** other things.

You might think, shouldn't you **skip the beer** then and save the money? And you are correct. I should. But always doing what you *should* degrades your **mental flexibility**, makes you rigid and keeps you in a sour mood that degrades your health.

For now the strategy is just to keep practicing singing and hopefully at some point that will start to invert the situation.

Here's a Brasilian classic I'm learning right now:

Got a long ways to go 😂

This is my first time posting in the @hiveopenmic community, despite wanting to do so for a long time. Many times I've recorded but I was never happy with the results so I held back, however this time I'm going to just do it, despite the many things I don't like about the recording and certain mistakes I make. I gave it many attempts during the day and in the end this one I liked the most.

The song might not be 100% aligned with the week's theme but it's close enough 😁

At least I can say that my singing practice is starting to give some results. It's been often frustrating and I get tempted to accept the idea that I just won't ever learn. But after today's😀 practice I can finally start hearing some bits here and there that I actually like how I sound. I'm usually very disappointed in my recordings as they sound much better in my head while playing.

There's so much info on the internet on how you should sing and sometimes you'll run into advice that debunks what you had accepted as truth. For example, many teachers say you have to lower the larynx and I was trying so hard to keep it down that it was painful. I recently researched on this and found some coaches saying that a low larynx isn't necessarily the best way, that different styles require different positioning. They also recommended to avoid forcing it down, but rather just avoid it going up in such a way that it creates tension.

Right now I'm practicing using the techniques I've picked up but also just trying to avoid tension overall. Of course, I still forget many things, especially when playing the guitar since that draws quite a bit of my attention. Kudos to all who play guitar and sing at the same time, looks way easier than it is.

The song you probably all know. I decided to learn this one because one day while walking the streets a guy begin to sing it very euphorically and pretending to play the guitar, which just transmitted a very positive energy, which I want to be able to bring back while playing.

Lyrics:

I wanna love you and treat you right

I wanna love you every day and every night

We'll be together with a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter of my single bed

We'll share the same room, yeah, but jah provides the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feelling'?

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feeling'?

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now

I got to know, got to know, got to know now

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on your table

I wanna love you, I wanna love and treat, love and treat you right

I wanna love you every day and every night

We'll be together yeah, with a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter yeah, oh yeah, of my single bed

We'll share the same room yeah, but jah provides the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feeling'?

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feeling'?

Wo-o-o-oah!

Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now

Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on your table

See I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya, love and treat ya right

I wanna love you every day and every night

We'll be together with a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter of my single bed

We'll share the same room yeah, but jah provides the bread

We'll share the shelter of my single bed

After most of my life screaming instead of singing I'm finally beginning to understand the mechanisms of the voice and how to produce sound without irritating my vocal chords. I have a lot to improve and also have to work on relaxing while recording, it's crazy how disfuncional I become with a camera in front. I recorded dozens of times, each one forgetting the lyrics or chords, despite playing this song on the streets hundreds of times. This wasn't my best attempt but it was the only one where my mind didn't go blank while recording and was able to get through the song hahaha. Anyway, I wouldn't really upload it if it weren't for the fact that I've been telling myself to not be so perfectionistic and just share my singing journey, because there has been so much progress and no registry of it since I always have to delete stuff from the phone to get memory. Well, I'm open to constructive criticism and song suggestions for my tone :) Uploaded using 3Speak Mobile App
