I’m back, and I'm in that Damien Rice phase that pops in from time to time. This is my stripped back acoustic version of this classic song.

If your are not familiar with this, it is all about the difficulties of being in love; being with someone but loving another. Not to say that I’m in a love triangle or anything of that sort – I’m really happily married, hi loves! - but more of the love for the song and the artist who I admire very much.

The song speaks about the biblical view, or more specifically the Catholic version of the ninth commandment, on infidelity and how it is perceived by the church. In it the person deals with guilt of loving another person while in a relationship, and how emotionally taxing it is. Although it is open to interpretation, it talks about one of those tales we hear throughout the years of couples we know personally, and maybe celebrities who have fallen out of love and/or was not able to resist the temptation of committing a “crime” against their partner.

Lisa Hannigan lends her wonderful voice to this hauntingly familiar theme in human relations, which I loved very much. Her voice matches the emotion and depth of Damien Rice', especially in their back and forth followed by the beautiful harmonies.

That’s it for now. My extended cough and colds is almost over, thank God, so I hope to be able to do more covers. Thanks for dropping by and checking out this short acoustic cover of this iconic song.

Love and peace.

First time I got to record myself playing the guitar and singing. Still have a mild cough and cold, but all is good. Not sure about the sound / video quality since I just filmed, trimmed, created a cover image on Canva, then uploaded; no editing done. Just trimmed the ends. Playing wasn't perfect yet so I will need to resume practicing. Still, I do hope you enjoy this video. All the best and have a great weekend ahead! @juanvegetarian

I was trying to figure out how to improve the sound of my recording on mobile when my wife came to tell a story about how the puppies at her workplace all followed the breaktime siren. I though it was perfect to include this in my upload for today. Breaks the monotony of the video. So, this is another acoustic cover that I made. The song is Di Na Muli, originally sung by Itchyworms in 2018. It became the theme song of the movie Sid & Aya sung by Janine Tenoso (I did this version as well) was used in the movie along with the original band's version. Please forgive the errors, I'm still bad at playing, but I still hope you all enjoy. Thanks and have a good day! @Juanvegetarian

Note: I deleted the original video and reuploaded an edited version.

This is a cover of the song The Climb by Miley Cyrus. It's been a while since I've uploaded any content on the platform and I had some free time to put together this short song cover. I did not edit the audio recording. It's not the best quality there is but it's the best that I can do with the limitations of using a mobile phone. Hope I can get some decent AV equipment soon while I'm still doing my guitar practice sessions. Thanks for dropping by everyone. Love and peace! @juanvegetarian

Playing around with the 3Speak app. First attempt at publishing a Short.

In this upload, I played Jessie's J's Price Tag (Maddie Jane version). Sorry about the long pause in the middle of the song. I was looking for the lyrics. LOL. This wasn't perfect but I'm still happy with it considering that I just used my cellphone to do the recording. I messed up some lyrics and chords, so sorry about that, but thankful for still listening. Hope you are all dry and warm these days. The rain seems determined to water the earth. Love and peace!

Just to continue with my music journey, I've uploaded this practice session with me playing Coldplay's The Scientist. I definitely missed a few chords and messed up some lyrics, but I'm hoping to get better with each upload. Also, I have limited time to practice before recording but it's not really a good excuse. So I'm hoping for your patience and grateful for the kindness. All the best! @juanvegetarian

I recently restringed my guitar after a long hiatus and wanted to practice. My dog joined in near the end of the video; maybe he's thinking that his howl was better than my singing. Sorry for the lousy guitar playing. I'm like a beginner again and learning how to play. Thanks in advance for your patience and for listening. All the best! @juanvegetarian

Hello again! It was a rainy day so the air was cool and nice; the sun was able to penetrate the cloudy skies for only a short period of time. So today, I will be doing my pack opening. Hopefully, everything goes well and smoothly, but before that, here are my current player stats.

I am now at Level 43 with 77,139 Starbits in my in-game wallet.

I chose not to buy 1 Million Starbits outright and just play to earn, which is probably more fun. It is pointless to get the Starbits Millionaire Card without being able to use it on missions because I just started playing the game a couple of weeks ago, and I have not yet reached level 50 and gathered 1,000 fans - a requirement to do missions with this very special card. That said, I might start buying again once I near the level 50 mark.

For today's opening, lady luck sent me the following cards:

The first card that showed itself is the R206 Rick, which is a rare card with more fans than skills. This is the first R206 that I opened so I am happy with that. The next was an i76 Talking Drum, which I already have. And, last but not the least, an 88 MC Geezer, which had an equal number of fans vs skills. 😁

The total market price for the cards: 8,255 Starbits.

I am happy that I was able to transfer out some of the Starbits from the in-game wallet to Hive Engine and open a pack. Hoping to open more packs in the coming days and adding better cards into my collection.

I guess that's it for now. Thank you very much for dropping by and reading my #gaming post. #risingstargame is an awesome #play2earn game here on the #HIVE platform and one that I really enjoy playing. Keep safe and stay healthy.

Love and peace!

Hello Hive Family and RSG players!

Today's blog post is about my ongoing quest to reach that elusive 1 million Starbits mark that I've set as a goal for myself in the game. As it stands, I currently have 214,904 Starbits tokens (41,742 in-game and 173,162 on Hive Engine). I have opened the Local Gig Circuit but have not yet done a mission in that Zone as I have been focusing more on Hometown gigs, for now. I have realized also that the Midweek Headline Slot, Saturday Support, and Saturday Headline gives more XP than the Music Lessons and Starbits rewards to boot, I prefer doing those missions whenever I have enough fans and if the energy level is up.

So, with the goal of increasing Fans and doing more Saturday missions, I plan to get another Energy Boost with a Cold Pizza Slice and open another pack (fingers crossed 🤞🤞). As usual, I will share here a video of the process and a reveal of the cards I will get from the pack opening. All of this within the time frame of one Illegal Busking mission for brevity. Hope you all enjoy watching! 😊

For some reason, the internet seems awfully slow today so I wasn't able to purchase the Cold Pizza Slice for the video. Still got to open a pack though but I ended the video hoping for a better connection, which did not happen. Got me thinking about the importance of the internet connection in the connected world. Hopefully, I will have better connection the next video.

So, I will end here. Thanks for watching. Love and peace!
