Hive Music Festival Week 114 - Round 3 // Shine (Bass Cover) By @musicandreview

The song that I will share with you today is very special because it was present in two very interesting stages of my life. “Shine” by the American band Mr. Big, came to me for the first time many years ago when the extinct anime channel called Animax broadcast Hellsing, a very particular anime that became popular thanks to the famous vampire Alucard. Well, it turns out that the aforementioned song was the soundtrack or opening song and in that sense I listened to it many times. But beyond being the opening of an anime, I never knew which band played it or anything like that.

So years later, in my tireless search for good music, I met the band Mr. Big, and well, it turns out that in their wide repertoire of hits was “Shine” and immediately came to me images of the anime that I had liked so much. I must say that it is quite rare that a foreign band manages to place one of their songs in an anime opening or ending and that is because local Japanese bands are usually very good, but besides that there seems to be an unassailable marriage between J-Rock or J-Pop and anime, so the merit of the American band is very great.

La canción que les compartiré el día de hoy es muy especial ya que estuvo presente en dos etapas muy interesantes de mi vida. “Shine” de la banda estadounidense Mr. Big, llegó a mí por primera vez hace muchos años cuando en el extinto canal de anime llamado Animax transmitían Hellsing, un anime muy particular que llegó a la popularidad gracias al famoso vampiro Alucard. Bueno, resulta que la mencionada canción era el soundtrack o canción de apertura y en ese sentido la escuché muchas veces. Pero más allá de ser el opening de un anime, nunca supe qué banda la interpretaba ni nada por el estilo.

Es así que años después en mi incansable búsqueda por encontrar buena música, conocí la banda Mr. Big, y bueno, resulta que en su amplio repertorio de éxitos estaba “Shine” e inmediatamente vinieron a mí imágenes del anime que tanto me había gustado. Debo decir que es bastante raro que una banda extranjera logre colocar una de sus canciones en un opening o ending de anime y eso es porque las bandas locales japonesas suelen ser muy buenas, pero además de eso parece haber un matrimonio inexpugnable entre el J-Rock o J-Pop con el anime, así que el mérito de la banda estadounidense es muy grande.

Lyrics

I never really feel quite right
And I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive

Tell me how do you do it, walk me through it
I'm following every footstep

Maybe on your own you take a conscious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want

Is for you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out

I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was looking for, yeah

You looked through me
You really knew me like no one's ever looked before

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want

Is for you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out

I know, I know, girl you got something

Shine (shine it on to me)
Shine down on me (I wanna feel it)
Shine on this life that's burning out

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want

Is for you to shine
Shine down on me (just show me something)
Shine on this life that's burning out
(You give me something that I'll never know)

Shine (it gonna kill me, if you give something away)
Shine yeah (I wanna know what's going in on your mind)
Shine on this life that's burning out

Don't you know, I want you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out

Another element that makes this presentation special is that the band's bass player Billy Sheehan is one of those who has given me more inspiration, I dream of someday having his talent (which is almost impossible), but for now I'll settle for playing one of his songs which in theory is one of the simplest, I say this because I know his repertoire and I know that there are songs that would be impossible to play for me. I hope that my presentation will be to everyone's liking, it is a very beautiful song with inspiring lyrics, a big hug!

Otro elemento que hace especial ésta presentación es que el bajista de la banda, Billy Sheehan, es uno de los que más me ha brindado inspiración, sueño con algún día tener su talento (cosa que es casi imposible), pero por ahora me conformo con tocar una de sus canciones que en teoría es de las más sencillas, digo esto porque conozco su repertorio y sé que hay canciones que serían imposibles de tocar para mí. Espero que mi presentación sea del agrado de todos, es una canción muy bonita y con una letra inspiradora. ¡Un fuerte abrazo!

Nothing is impossible, difficult yes, but not impossible, I think that someday you will be able to play as you wish, although I think you already do it very well 😊

Of course it won't be the same as that artist because each musician has his own style that makes him unique, but you do it very well and I'm sure you will do it better and better 👌

Very nice song, I watched Hellsing, but I don't remember the song haha 😂 it was many years ago.

It's true, every musician is unique in his style and way of playing, it's just that I find one in Billy a very big inspiration, but yes, I hope one day to have a level close to him, there is still a long way to go, but as you say, nothing is impossible. Greetings!

Hola Omar, espero que estés bien.
Fíjate que entiendo tu admiración por ese bajista y que creas que es imposible, Pero que eso no nos quite las ganas de seguir practicando para hacerlo mejor cada vez porque en definitiva tienes mucho talento. ☺️
Nunca había escuchado el tema y me pareció muy enérgico y dinámico..

Es verdad, nuestras ganas de seguir mejorando no tienen que disminuir solo porque haya otros con más capacidades, gracias por recordarme algo tan fundamental, es solo que no se puede evitar tener referentes en la música 😄.

Gracias por tus palabras y apoyo!

Los openings y endings de animes nos han regalado unas melodías muy bellas,interpretadas por músicos magistrales. Esta versión de Shine le quedó espectacular, tanto a nivel instrumental como a nivel vocal. Me gusta mucho la tonalidad de su voz. Disfruté el video. Le deseo éxito en el concurso.
