HIVE OPEN MIC Week 137 (ENG/ESP) Theme: Healing - "Fix You" by Coldplay
(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 South Africa!
This is Week 137 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge, and the theme for the week is "Healing”. I think this is a great opportunity to play “Fix You” by Coldplay!
I think this is a perfect fit for the theme because the song's verses paint a picture of a person really struggling with life and heartbreak with each line in the music seeming more pained than the last, but then the chorus seems to indicate a sense of hope that the person will realize that life is still wonderful and that they still have supportive people in their life... which is the definition of slowly healing for me.
Here is Coldplay’s original version:
By the way, I am doing a weekly post on Thursdays where I ask for cover song requests in the comments, and then if I attempt your song in the following week's post, you become a beneficary to 50% of the post's rewards in HP. If that sounds interesting, please think of a song you would like me to try and look out for my post on Thursday?
Lyrics for “Fix You” by Coldplay
*When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above, or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la Comunidad Hive Open Mic! Me llamo Jasper y os escribo (y canto) desde Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica.
Esta es la semana 137 del Hive Open Mic Challenge, y el tema de la semana es "Sanación". Creo que es una gran oportunidad para tocar "Fix You" de Coldplay.
Creo que encaja perfectamente con el tema porque las estrofas de la canción pintan una imagen de una persona que realmente está luchando con la vida y el desamor, con cada línea de la música que parece más dolorosa que la anterior, pero luego el estribillo parece indicar una sensación de esperanza de que la persona se dará cuenta de que la vida sigue siendo maravillosa y que todavía tiene personas que le apoyan en su vida... que es la definición de sanar lentamente para mí.

Aquí está la versión original de Coldplay:
Por cierto, estoy haciendo un post semanal los jueves en el que pido peticiones de canciones versionadas en los comentarios, y luego si intento tu canción en el post de la semana siguiente, te conviertes en beneficiario del 50% de las recompensas del post en HP. Si te parece interesante, por favor, piensa en una canción que te gustaría que intentara y estate atento a mi post del jueves...
**Letra de "Fix You" de Coldplay
*Cuando te esfuerzas al máximo, pero no tienes éxito
Cuando consigues lo que quieres, pero no lo que necesitas
Cuando te sientes tan cansado, pero no puedes dormir
Atascado en la marcha atrás
Y las lágrimas caen por tu cara
Cuando pierdes algo que no puedes reemplazar
Cuando amas a alguien, pero se desperdicia
¿Podría ser peor?
Las luces te guiarán a casa
Y encenderán tus huesos
Y trataré de arreglarte
Y en lo alto, o en lo bajo
Cuando estés demasiado enamorado para dejarlo ir
Pero si nunca lo intentas, nunca sabrás
Lo que vales
Las luces te guiarán a casa
Y encenderán tus huesos
Y trataré de arreglarte
Las lágrimas corren por tu cara
Cuando pierdes algo que no puedes reemplazar
Las lágrimas corren por tu cara, y yo
Las lágrimas corren por tu cara
Te prometo que aprenderé de mis errores
Las lágrimas corren por tu cara, y yo
Las luces te guiarán a casa
Y encenderán tus huesos
Y trataré de arreglarte

Hey friend, bravo!. Since it is a cover, it is mandatory to share a reference website where the lyrics of the song are hosted. We invite you to read our Community Guidelineswhere you will find all the details that are taken into account for the curation.
Ah apologies! I have now added a link to where I found the lyrics! Thank you for your help!
I hope the lights are always there to guide us in those moments when we need it most, music is my light in my moments of darkness. I loved your voice. Beautiful song,

Hello my friend. Thanks for bringing a song so representative of the week's theme, plus, I feel it carries your sound. You are one of the musicians I admire most in the community. I take this opportunity to thank you for taking into account the suggestion made by the @hiveopenmic team about the lyrics of the songs, it is an issue that they take into account when supporting our participants. It is still very valuable for us to read why you choose your song, as you do at the end of the video, rather than the lyrics themselves. Bravo, I loved it. Happy Musician's Day, you have it well deserved...
Hello! Thank you for your suggestion! I have added a paragraph explaining why I think the song really fits the theme - with verses that indicate someone really struggling with life, but the chorus suggesting the hope that they will heal with time and support - which is beautiful.
Me encanta como cantas , felicitaciones . Dios te bendiga 👍👋👋👋👋🥂🥂
So beautiful! Isn't it amazing that we both played it so completely differently putting our own fingerprint on it and both are absolutely beautifull! Well done!!
I'm glad you're back on HIVE after doing all of your end-of-year reports Mrs.Music Teacher! (Couldn't you have just given all those kiddies an F, and said they had no music potential and then rushed back to HIVE? They need to learn to overcome criticism or something anyway? Ah, I'm going to be such a good dad!)
How are you going to be the first dolphin amongst us if you also have a "real life"? Hey?
This is such a beautiful song. Remind me to tell you about the pigeon. 🙈 It's a long funny story about this song and I don't want to ruin the sentiment of this beautiful song right now 😊
A lovely interpretation. I didn't realise we had done the same song this week...!
