A warm greeting to everyone in the #Music community and to all those music fans. Today I share with you my trumpet interpretation of "Bad Moon Rising", a rock classic that fuses elements of rock and roll and the country of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Despite its cheerful rhythm, the lyrics hide a dark undertone. John Fogerty was inspired by a movie about a hurricane to create an apocalyptic atmosphere. The basis of this piece of music is a simple but powerful rhythm, inspired by the style of Bo Diddley. It is characterized by the use of the cowbell and a repetitive guitar pattern in the chords of A minor and G major. The vocal melody has a folk feel that contrasts with the theme. Performing it with the trumpet seems quite striking to me, it is a syncopated, moving and dynamic melody. It has a guitar solo, but in that part I only repeated the melody.

Un cordial saludo a todos en la comunidad de #Music y a todos aquellos aficionados de la música. Hoy les comparto mi interpretación con la trompeta de «Bad Moon Rising», un clásico del rock que fusiona elementos del rock and roll y el country de Creedence Clearwater Revival. A pesar de su ritmo alegre, la letra esconde un trasfondo oscuro. John Fogerty se inspiró en una película sobre un huracán para crear una atmósfera apocalíptica. La base de esta pieza musical es un ritmo sencillo pero poderoso, inspirado en el estilo de Bo Diddley. Se caracteriza por el uso del cencerro y un patrón repetitivo de guitarra en los acordes de La menor y Sol mayor. La melodía vocal tiene un aire folk que contrasta con la temática. Interpretarla con la trompeta me parece bastante llamativa, es una melodía sincopada, movida y dinámica. Tiene un solo de Guitarra, pero en esa parte solo repetí la melodía.
There is nothing more powerful than doing things for the right reason. Love is and has always been my greatest motivation to do things, especially cultivating my talents, my abilities and building my character. Nothing forced is good. When you feel that an activity makes you a slave, and that you do not have the ability to make decisions, then you are not happy, nor do you enjoy the activity. Likewise, when you do it just to be rewarded, it can bring you frustration, hopelessness, and discouragement. Now, when you do it for love, then you enjoy both the process and the end. Music becomes a delight when we play, fight and live for love. As simple as that. Now, if we find rewards along the way, we do not refuse to receive them. They are very welcome. These will help us leverage our love.

No hay nada más poderoso que hacer las cosas por la razón correcta. El amor es y siempre ha sido mi mayor motivación para hacer las cosas, en especial cultivar mis talentos, mis habilidades y forjar mi carácter. Nada forzado es bueno. Cuando sientes que una actividad te convierte en esclavo, y que no tienes la capacidad de tomar decisiones, entonces no eres feliz, ni disfrutas de la actividad. De igual manera, cuando lo haces para solo ser recompensado, te puede traer frustración, desesperanza y desánimo. Ahora, cuando lo haces por amor, entonces disfrutas tanto de proceso como del fin. La música se convierte en un deleite cuando tocamos, luchamos y vivimos por amor. Así de sencillo. Ahora, si en el camino encontramos recompensas, no nos negamos a recibirlas. Son bien bienvenidas. Estas nos ayudarán a apalancar nuestro amor.
Bad Moon Rising
I see the bad moon arising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
All right
[Guitar Solo]
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well, don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
