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 194 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge. The theme for this week is “End of December”!

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:

Now any song about Christmas or New Years Eve would be perfect for the theme “End of December”, but in the post above I made three other recommendations:

• “December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
• “December” by Collective Soul
• “A Long December” by Counting Crows

Of those three, let me try and tackle “December” by Collective Soul. I remember stealing this album on cassette tape from my slightly older sister and playing it on a Walkman as I roamed the streets of my beloved coastal holiday village back in the late 1990s! It has a wonderful riff that taught me how to place my fingers for finger-picking as I started to learn guitar way back then, and I’ve always loved how the last two parts are sung simultaneously at the end of the song, so please be sure to check out the original!:

PS – I’ve just returned from the same beautiful coastal village of my childhood holidays, I posted some photos here: https://ecency.com/hive-155530/@jasperdick/wednesday-walk-salt-river-mouth”

Lyrics for “December” by Collective Soul

[Verse 1]
Why drink the water from my hand
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again

[Chorus]
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out

[Verse 2]
Why follow me to higher ground
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs
Ambiance and vanity

[Chorus]
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

[Chorus]
(December promise you gave unto me)
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
(December whispers of treachery)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
(December clouds are now covering me)
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
(December songs no longer I sing)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
(December promise you gave unto me)
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
(December whispers of treachery)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
(December clouds are now covering me)
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
(December songs no longer I sing)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out

¡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!

Bienvenido a la Semana 194 del Hive Open Mic Challenge. ¡El tema de esta semana es “Finales de diciembre”!

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-135

Ahora bien, cualquier canción sobre Navidad o Nochevieja sería perfecta para el tema “Fin de Diciembre”, pero en el post de arriba te hice otras tres recomendaciones:

• “December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” de Frankie Valli y The Four Seasons
• “December” de Collective Soul
• “A Long December” de Counting Crows

De esos tres, permítanme intentar abordar “December” de Collective Soul. Recuerdo haberle robado este álbum en casete a mi hermana un poco mayor y escucharlo en un Walkman mientras deambulaba por las calles de mi amado pueblo de vacaciones costero a finales de los años 1990. Tiene un riff maravilloso que me enseñó cómo colocar mis dedos para tocarlos cuando comencé a aprender a tocar la guitarra en ese entonces, y siempre me ha encantado cómo las dos últimas partes se cantan simultáneamente al final de la canción, así que por favor. ¡Asegúrate de revisar el original!:

PD: Acabo de regresar del mismo hermoso pueblo costero de las vacaciones de mi infancia. Publiqué algunas fotos aquí: https://ecency.com/hive-155530/@jasperdick/wednesday-walk-salt-river-mouth”

Letra de “December” de Collective Soul

[Verso 1]
¿Por qué beber el agua de mi mano?
Contagioso como crees que soy
Solo inclina mi sol hacia tu dominio
Tu copa se rebosa otra vez

[Coro]
No grites, no pienses en voz alta
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme
No te preocupes, no hables de dudas
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme

[Verso 2]
¿Por qué seguirme a un terreno más alto?
Perdido como juras que estoy
No desperdicies tus necesidades básicas
Ambiente y vanidad.

[Coro]
No grites, no pienses en voz alta
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme
No te preocupes, no hables de dudas
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme
No grites, no pienses en voz alta
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme
No te preocupes, no hables de dudas
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme

[Pausa instrumental]

[Puente]
Promesa de diciembre que me diste
Diciembre susurros de traición
Las nubes de diciembre ahora me cubren
Canciones de diciembre ya no canto
Promesa de diciembre que me diste
Diciembre susurros de traición
Las nubes de diciembre ahora me cubren
Canciones de diciembre ya no canto

[Coro]
(Promesa de diciembre que me diste)
No grites, no pienses en voz alta
(Susurros de traición en diciembre)
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme
(Las nubes de diciembre ahora me cubren)
No te preocupes, no hables de dudas
(Canciones de diciembre ya no las canto)
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme
(Promesa de diciembre que me diste)
No grites, no pienses en voz alta
(Susurros de traición en diciembre)
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme
(Las nubes de diciembre ahora me cubren)
No te preocupes, no hables de dudas
(Canciones de diciembre ya no las canto)
Gira la cabeza, ahora, nena, sólo escúpeme

I believe this band is still going! I think their biggest hit ever was called "Shine"
