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 164 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge. The theme for the week is “Hopeful"! I thought for a bit, and then remembered that Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” (1978) is a wonderful song full of attitude about a woman realising that the end of a relationship doesn’t mean the end of the world, and that she will actually be just fine in the end! If that’s not hopeful, I don’t know what is!

Here is the original version of “I Will Survive”:

Thank you so much for checking in! Hopefully see you next week?

Lyrics for “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive

Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive

¡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 164 del Hive Open Mic Challenge. ¡El tema de la semana es "Hopeful"! Pensé un poco y luego recordé que "I Will Survive" (1978) de Gloria Gaynor es una canción maravillosa llena de actitud sobre una mujer que se da cuenta de que el final de una relación no ¡significa el fin del mundo, y que ella realmente estará bien al final! Si eso no es esperanzador, ¡no sé qué es!

Aquí está la versión original de “I Will Survive”:

¡Muchas gracias por registrarte! Espero verte la próxima semana?

Letra de "Sobreviviré" de Gloria Gaynor

Al principio tenía miedo, estaba petrificado
Seguía pensando que nunca podría vivir sin ti a mi lado
Pero luego pasé tantas noches pensando en cómo me hiciste mal
Y me hice fuerte, y aprendí a llevarme bien

Y por lo que está de vuelta desde el espacio exterior
Solo entré para encontrarte aquí con esa mirada triste en tu rostro
Debería haber cambiado esa estúpida cerradura.
Debería haberte hecho dejar tu llave.
Si hubiera sabido por solo un segundo que estarías de vuelta para molestarme

Ve ahora, ve. Sal por la puerta
Solo date la vuelta ahora porque ya no eres bienvenido
¿No fuiste tú quien intentó lastimarme con un adiós?
¿Pensaste que me derrumbaría?
¿Pensaste que me acostaría y moriría?

Oh, no, yo no
Sobreviviré
Oh, mientras sepa amar, sé que seguiré con vida
Tengo toda mi vida para vivir
Tengo todo mi amor para dar
Y sobreviviré
Sobreviviré, ey, ey

Me tomó toda la fuerza que tenía para no desmoronarme
Seguí esforzándome por reparar las piezas de mi corazón roto
Y pasé, oh, tantas noches sintiendo pena por mí mismo
Solía llorar, pero ahora mantengo la cabeza en alto

Y me ves alguien nuevo
No soy esa personita encadenada que sigue enamorada de ti
Y por lo que tenía ganas de caer en
Y solo espera que sea libre
Y ahora estoy guardando todo mi amor para alguien que me ama

Ve ahora, ve. Sal por la puerta
Solo date la vuelta ahora porque ya no eres bienvenido
¿No fuiste tú quien trató de romperme con un adiós?
¿Pensaste que me derrumbaría?
¿Pensaste que me acostaría y moriría?
Oh, no, yo no
Sobreviviré
Oh, mientras sepa amar, sé que seguiré con vida
Tengo toda mi vida para vivir
Tengo todo mi amor para dar
Y sobreviviré
Sobreviviré

Ve ahora, ve. Sal por la puerta
Solo date la vuelta ahora porque ya no eres bienvenido
¿No fuiste tú quien trató de romperme con un adiós?
¿Pensaste que me derrumbaría?
¿Pensaste que me acostaría y moriría?
Oh, no, yo no
Sobreviviré
Oh, mientras sepa amar, sé que seguiré con vida
Tengo toda mi vida para vivir
Tengo todo mi amor para dar
Y sobreviviré
Sobreviviré
Sobreviviré

wooohooo! Go Jasper!!! Awesome stuff! I always have a total ball doing this one with you! So much sass!

Wow, good one!
Love this, I keep meaning to learn it, great version! 😍

Yay! Am / Dm / G / C / F / Bb / E / E7...

Ah, perfecto! Danke! 😁

Me encanta tu voz y la interpretación ☺️ es increíble 🤩 me gustó mucho en especial en el momento en que levantas la voz muy bien y increíble 😊☺️

Woah! I didn't expect a boy to be able to sing this song. Absolutely amazing! Your voice was so good. Actually it seems to rock! You nailed it this week. Congrats !!!! 🤗✨

I loved the interpretation of the song! It is a classic song and never thought the meaning because it is disco music for dancing lol! But very nice interpretation and well done played!

Sometimes Dancing/Disco songs have great lyrics hidden in them! Hahaha - like "Titanium" for example?

I love getting into lyrics no matter what genre or language for that matter cuz there's lots of songs out there that sounds really catchy and some of them you want to dance to but the lyrics can be really dark,deep,sad,etc. :P - Efa.

Woah! I didn't expect a boy to be able to sing this song. Absolutely amazing! Your voice was so good. Actually it seems to rock! You nailed it this week. Congrats !!!! 🤗✨

Did you just assume my gender? Was it the facial hair? (Hahaha - I'm kidding!)

I think music is for everybody to play around and have fun with and see what happens! One of the most famous uses of this exact song in a movie was from Priscilla Queen of the Desert and looked like this:

hahahaaah tbh, when I read the title I really thought that you would sing it using a female voice. 😅

But here's the truth, I really love your cover. ❤❤

Sing it in the female voice? Ah man! What a missed opportunity! I even have a wig somewhere - I used it in this post once:

You just give meeee a siggnnnnn!! hit me baby one more timeee 🎶🎶

Wow brilliant, this is a masterpiece performance from you.
Good job man.

Nice presentation dear friend

Good effort man! I like the diva tunes! Chaka khan, Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner (R.I.P.) and all the rest.
Would love to see you do “Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka 👍 haha

These chords! I actually have an original song with these chords very similarly played, that’s mad, I always thought my song sounded like something but my song is an instrumental and called “Samba Surf”

Well played man 🙏 good to see you

Hi. Excellent interpretation of this wonderful song, you have expressive power and great rhythm!

Brilliant as always dear friend!!! A standing ovation for you.

Excelente interpretación hermano, es un clasico 👏👏👏😎

Ohoo, thats a good choice of song. I also love your version, it fits perfectly to your voice and to the theme. It's perfect 💪🔥

Thank you so much! Women seem to love this song! It apparently is a great song for my friend @clairemobey to get in the mood to sing bravely!!

Súper súper uuhhhhh claro es esperanzador el final de una relación de amor no es el fin del mundo, y así deberíamos ser para cualquier final mientras existe vida hay esperanzas. Como siempre una súper actuación tu participación. Esa canción me encanta te hace salir de lo que estes haciendo para disfrutarla.

Super super uuhhhhhhh of course it is hopeful the end of a love relationship is not the end of the world, and so we should be for any end while there is life there is hope. As always a super performance your participation. I love that song it makes you get out of whatever you are doing to enjoy it.
