A warm greeting to this beautiful #Music community. I am pleased to share my interpretation with my trumpet of “The Search Is Over”, a rock ballad by the band Survivor. This song was composed by Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik, two members of the band. Sometimes I find an interesting score, and I listen to the original version a couple of times. My goal is to be in tune with the intention of the composer and the artist who popularized it. This musical piece is a reference in 80s rock, and a timeless classic. The lyrics are inspiring and talk about finding happiness and purpose in life. The guitar riff is a true gem. The melody is repetitive, with subtle variations in the chorus and bridges. The rhythm is strong and constant. I highlight its simplicity, repetition and synchronization with the melody.

Un cordial saludo a esta bella comunidad de #Music. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con mi trompeta de «The Search Is Over», una balada rock de la banda Survivor. Esta canción fue compuesta por Frankie Sullivan y Jim Peterik, dos integrantes de la banda. En ocasiones encuentro una partitura interesante, y me toca escuchar la versión original un par de veces. Mi objetivo es estar a tono con la intención del compositor y del artista que la popularizó. Esta pieza musical es un referente en el rock de los 80, y un clásico atemporal. La letra es inspiradora y habla de encontrar la felicidad y el propósito en la vida. El riff de la guitarra es una verdadera joya. La melodía es repetitiva, con variaciones sutiles en el coro y en los puentes. El ritmo es de pulso fuerte y constante. Yo destaco su sencillez, repetición y sincronización con la melodía.
If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that life is much more than just existing. It is a journey full of learning, experiences, and a test that qualifies us for an eternal destiny. Music has accompanied me on that journey, and it has made the journey pleasant. Although sometimes bad things happen and are part of our growth, that is not our destiny. For some people their goal in life is money, for others love, peace and happiness. I believe that life is about learning to be happy in little things, and in abundance. The contradictory thing about life is that those who have everything are unhappy, and those who do not have a roof over their heads rejoice in the simple and beautiful things in life. I hope you enjoy this performance. Blessings to all.

Si hay algo de lo que estoy seguro es que la vida es mucho más que simplemente existir. Es un viaje lleno de aprendizaje, de experiencias, y una prueba que nos califica a un destino eterno. En ese trayecto me ha acompañado la música, y ha hecho que la marcha sea placentera. Aunque a veces pasan cosas malas y son parte de nuestro crecimiento, ese no es nuestro destino. Para algunas personas su meta en la vida es el dinero, para otras el amor, la paz y la felicidad. Considero que la vida se trata de aprender a ser felices en lo poco, y en la abundancia. Lo contradictorio de la vida es que aquellos que lo tienen todo son infelices, y aquellos que no tienen un techo sobre su cabeza se regocijan en las cosas simples y bellas de la vida. Espero que disfruten de esta interpretación. Bendiciones para todos.
The Search Is Over
How can I convince you, what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Can we last forever, do we fall apart
The times it's so confusing, the questions of the heart
You followed me through changes and patiently you'd wait
'Til I came to my senses through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie, victims of the game,
Then good luck it finally struck
Like lightnin' from the blue
Every highway is leadin' me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain, the man I really am
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Then I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search is over, love was right before my eyes
