HIVE OPEN MIC #169 (ENG/ESP): Theme: WAR - "God Cries in Thunder!" by @jasperdick (original)
(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 Cape Town in South Africa!
Welcome to Week 169 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge. I actually got to pick the theme this week, which was a wonderful honour. I chose the theme “War” – because it is challenging and emotionally charged.
I have written an original Anti-War protest song of my own called “God Cries in Thunder”. It is something I sing either solo, or with my friend @clairemobey in our duo “MobeyDick”. It has a sort of jazz verse with a simple blues chorus… I see I am not the only one posting original songs for this week’s theme, which is great!
Thank you so much for checking in! Hopefully see you next week?
Lyrics for “God Cries in Thunder” by @jasperdick / MobeyDick (original)
I saw the news today, but I had to look away, there’s blood on the border
Of another land, where they don’t understand, the true price of a soldier…
And over and over it goes
For reasons that nobody knows
Fear and hatred keeps pulling us under
Until God cries in Thunder
Can you see, can you hear, can you feel, can you tell?
God cries in Thunder!
I saw the news again, but I couldn’t take the pain, that war is not over
Another soldier dies, and another family cries, over lines drawn on paper…
And over and over it goes
For reasons that nobody knows
Fear and hatred keeps pulling us under
Until God cries in Thunder
Can you see, can you hear, can you feel, can you tell?
God cries in Thunder!
Can you see, can you hear, can you feel, can you tell?
God cries in Thunder!

¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la comunidad Hive Open Mic! ¡Mi nombre es Jasper y les escribo (y canto) desde Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica!
Bienvenidos a la semana 169 del Hive Open Mic Challenge. De hecho, pude elegir el tema esta semana, lo cual fue un gran honor. Elegí el tema "Guerra" porque es desafiante y está cargado de emociones.
He escrito una canción original de protesta contra la guerra llamada "God Cries in Thunder". Es algo que canto solo o con mi amiga @clairemobey en nuestro dúo “MobeyDick”. Tiene una especie de verso de jazz con un estribillo de blues simple... Veo que no soy el único que publica canciones originales para el tema de esta semana, ¡lo cual es genial!
¡Muchas gracias por registrarte! Espero verte la próxima semana?
Letra de "God Cries in Thunder" de @jasperdick / MobeyDick (original)
Vi las noticias hoy, pero tuve que mirar hacia otro lado, hay sangre en la frontera
De otra tierra, donde no entienden, el verdadero precio de un soldado...
Y una y otra vez va
Por razones que nadie sabe
El miedo y el odio nos siguen tirando hacia abajo
Hasta que Dios llore en Trueno
¿Puedes ver, puedes oír, puedes sentir, puedes decir?
Dios llora en Trueno!
Volví a ver las noticias, pero no aguanté el dolor, esa guerra no ha terminado.
Otro soldado muere, y otra familia llora, sobre líneas dibujadas en un papel…
Y una y otra vez va
Por razones que nadie sabe
El miedo y el odio nos siguen tirando hacia abajo
Hasta que Dios llore en Trueno
¿Puedes ver, puedes oír, puedes sentir, puedes decir?
Dios llora en Trueno!
¿Puedes ver, puedes oír, puedes sentir, puedes decir?
Dios llora en Trueno!

Our Spotlight Artist of the Week 169, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for giving us such an important theme that has brought out the best feelings of the musicians in our community.
Wow, the lyrics of this song are awesome and thought provoking, I see you had this planned from the very beginning and your idea was great. An original song that lives up to your talent. I send you a big hug on behalf of those who haven't seen you yet, but I'm sure your performance will be a success.
I like the concept. Glad to hear a song unique to you. Stellar original song. Thanks for choosing this week's theme - it's a great topic of contemplation and one we haven't explored yet in our community. Cheers!
I want to congratulate you for having the responsibility of choosing this week's theme, it has been inspiring.
The lyrics of your song call us to reflection because we should all be concerned about the pain of war, because we do not know when it will be our turn to live it.
Amigo muy buen groove con la guitarra y voz. Tremenda canción. Eres un gran intérprete! Felicidades!
Hasta que Dios lo permita, mientras el miedo nos invade y no entendemos. Excelente tu participación.
It's really a great song, I liked it, I've always loved your voice and your playing, it's very relaxing.
What a beautiful interpretation and what a beautiful song✨
Wow dude very nice cover, I had never heard the song but it sounds great with the guitar. Congratulations
Thanks man! It's actually not a cover but an original song I wrote myself in the blues style. More recently I am singing it in my duo (MobeyDick) with my friend @clairemobey, so that she harmonizes with me!
