HIVE OPEN MIC #192 (ENG/ESP): Grateful - "Thank You" by Dido
(Ver la parte inferior de la publicación para español)
Hello everybody on Hive and especially the Hive Open Mic Community! My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from a small coastal village in the Garden Route about 7 hours from Cape Town in South Africa! It is beautiful here so I thought I would sing my song outside while my baby daughter naps – please forgive the odd breeze and the sunbirds (similar to hummingbirds) singing!
Welcome to Week 192 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge. The theme for this week is “Grateful”!
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve decided to alter my Three Tune Tuesday posts to be based around the Hive Open Mic theme of the week, and how I would go about tackling it. If you are wanting to take part this week, but need some help interpreting what kind of songs would suit the theme, please go check out my post here:

In that post, I picked 3 songs that would be perfect for the theme, namely:
• “Morning Has Broken” by Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam
• “Thank You” by Dido
• “Thank You for Being a Friend” by Andrew Gold
Of those three, let me try and tackle “Thank You” by Dido, but sing it a full octave deeper than she does! Here is the original!
Lyrics for “Thank You” by Dido
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
That I might not last the day
And then you call me
And it's not so bad, it's not so bad
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I'm home at last
And I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel
And all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la comunidad Hive Open Mic! Mi nombre es Jasper y les escribo (y canto) desde un pequeño pueblo costero en Garden Route, a unas 7 horas de Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica. Es hermoso aquí, así que pensé en cantar mi canción afuera mientras mi hija bebé duerme la siesta. ¡Por favor, perdone la extraña brisa y el canto de los pájaros del sol (similares a los colibríes)!
Bienvenido a la Semana 192 del Hive Open Mic Challenge. ¡El tema de esta semana es “Agradecido”!
*** Para aquellos de ustedes que no lo saben, he decidido modificar mis publicaciones de Three Tune Tuesday para basarlas en el tema de la semana de Hive Open Mic y en cómo abordarlo. Si deseas participar esta semana, pero necesitas ayuda para interpretar qué tipo de canciones se adaptarían al tema, consulta mi publicación aquí:***
https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/music-tres-tune-tuesday-133
En ese post, elegí 3 canciones que serían perfectas para el tema, a saber:
• “Morning has Broken” de Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam
• “Thank You” de Dido
• “Thank You for Being a Friend” de Andrew Gold
De esos tres, déjame intentar abordar “Thank You” de Dido, ¡pero cantarla una octava más profunda que ella! ¡Aquí está el original!
Letra de “Thank You” de Dido
Mi té se ha enfriado, me pregunto por qué
me levanté de la cama en absoluto
La lluvia de la mañana nubla mi ventana
Y no puedo ver nada
Y aunque pudiera, todo sería gris.
Pero tu foto en mi pared
Me recuerda que no es tan malo
No es tan malo
Bebí demasiado anoche, tengo facturas que pagar
Mi cabeza simplemente siente dolor
Perdí el autobús y hoy habrá un infierno
llego tarde al trabajo otra vez
E incluso si estoy allí, todos implicarán
Que tal vez no dure el día
Y luego me llamas
Y no es tan malo, no es tan malo
Y quiero agradecerte
Por darme el mejor día de mi vida.
Oh, sólo para estar contigo
es tener el mejor dia de mi vida
Empuja la puerta, por fin estoy en casa
Y estoy empapado de pies a cabeza
Entonces me diste una toalla
Y todo lo que veo eres tú
Y aunque mi casa se caiga ahora
no tendría ni idea
Porque estás cerca de mí
Y quiero agradecerte
Por darme el mejor día de mi vida.
Oh, sólo para estar contigo
es tener el mejor dia de mi vida
Y quiero agradecerte
Por darme el mejor día de mi vida.
Oh, sólo para estar contigo
es tener el mejor dia de mi vida

I had wanted to present this song for the theme but I thought I did to practice a little more so I presented another.
You know the song so well, nicely sang 😊 nice seeing you sing and play friend.
First of all, i love the background to this video.
Meen Jasper, you are a music god. Your works are always filled with a peculiar feeling and rhythm.
Weldone sir
Fantastic dear friend. I also considered playing this piece. I practiced it for several hours, but in the end, I decided on a less complex one. It has an incredible fingering. Your interpretation is amazing. Thanks for sharing this piece. I was a full fan of Dido at the time when this piece of music came out.
I like this song, I actually did a cover of it here earlier in the year.... Nice acoustic presentation
Brother, you have really achieved a wonderful interpretation! Nice to hear you and see the great entry you made....
Congratulations for this great work brother, God continue blessing your talent!
I've made a cover of the same song for this week's Open Mic, your is truly beautiful and represents the spirit of this week's theme. Beautiful job man!
