Hive Open Mic Challenge 149. You are my sunshine - violin & piano duo.
Hallo dearest Open Mic Comunity
Gosh, it's been a while since posting and I am so happy and excited to be back.
When I receive the weekly Open Mic theme I always go with the very first song that pops up in my head. One of my life motto's- stick with your first choice!
This week's theme is beautiful and positive and the first melody I started singing was "You are my sunshine"
So, that's what I recorded with my keyboard and violin.
I think most of us has a childhood memory of our mother's singing this beautiful lullaby to us and I always thought it's an uplifting, comforting song. Reading through the entire songs lyrics (for the first time to be honest) I was surprised to read the very sad second verse.
"The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried"
Now I understand why we only know the first verse...
All of a sudden this beautiful melody became almost haunted.
I hope you enjoy my cover, please let me know what you think.
Lyrics:
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away

Marelize how are you...a pleasure to meet you through your beautiful talent...wow I loved your presentation, simply beautiful...I applaud you 🌹💖!!!!!
That song is very nice, you have amazed me with your mastery on the violin and keyboard, no doubt it's a privilege to have you in this great family!!!!
The presentation has been masterful, a very charming sound and I see that you record in a classroom or am I wrong? are you a music teacher?
My dear friend, I must make an observation easy to correct, it has to do with the source of the lyrics of the song, you must place the direct link to the page where the same is, that is achieved through a code so you can insert that link, you know it? in fact just leaving the video of the song is enough, but when you write the lyrics, the link is necessary!!!
It has been a pleasure to have visited you, I take with me a splendid image of you, I thank you for joining us in this edition of the Hive Open Mic, we hope to see you soon again... You Rockkk!! 🙌😃💛
Thank you very much for your kind words and assistance. Yes, I am a music teacher:)
I added the link and hope that it is correct now. Keep well my friend and hope to stay in contact with you.🎻
It will be a pleasure to continue listening to you; you did well, however, the links must be from a page that is not Google, that is, search there in Google for a page that contains the lyrics, I'll leave you this one and if you want to put it in the post, great, do you think? 👉 https://genius.com/Christina-perri-you-are-my-sunshine-lyrics
I will teach you something great that as a Hiver you should know, commonly when we place lyrics (or images within a post) we can use a code when writing the post that allows us to simplify content... I explain, insert this code that I will leave you below, in your post, and where it says TEXT you place the link of the page which you are going to cite as a source:
After you do it, it should look like this:
and when you click there it takes you to the cited page, click and see the magic 😉... it is not necessary that you do it for this post, but implement it in your next post... any doubt I will be at your service... have a nice weekend 🌹💖!
I love your motto to stick with the first choice. I love your productions. Very nice play. You are a great musician friend. Keep sailing high
Welcome back ! Amazing recording, I love it 😀
Oh, how I love to appreciate talent whenever I see one, it's so beautiful to watch you handle the instrument as well as you do, it's nice to see💕
Hi @marelizezeeman I didn't know about your musical content. I was delighted with your violin musical piece, accompanied by the keyboard.😊
How nice to see you back here with this interesting format where you present your participation both on piano and violin. You are very original and talented dear, I send you a hug and have a great day. I hope to see you in the 150th edition...
