Derrotemos a la distancia
I have been learning a bit more about video editig for this week's theme and thoroughly enjoyed it! The Derrotemos a la distancia translates to "Let's Defeat the distance", and was chosen by @karlex77.
KT Tunstall
With a "distance" theme I have the opportunity to play a song by one of my favourite artists, the Scottish singer KT Tunstall, who has been in the public eye since around 2000 and has created some great tunes during that time! She's got an amazing voice and is very cool when she performs, especially when using her loop pedal, which has inspired a great many people to incorporate it into their own repertoirs, including some of my friends. Watch @steve-o2023 using it expertly here.
Other Side of the World
I very much assume that this week's theme is meant in a "stick together" sort of way as in Steve's song up there, even if that should be across borders, which is a fantastic thought!
I myself have been stranded on this island called Britain and still have friends and family in Germany, of course. With the Internet, which was only really starting up when I arrived here, it is possible to keep in close contact these days with no problems at all; we see it every day here on Hive.
Usually keeping in contact with family members is a given, you are normally more or less strongly connected, and most of us will try to put some effort into at least the family abroad and with some close friends.
However, this can be different for a love relationship, where the lack of intimacy for long periods of time can be the make or break factor for some.
The failing of such a relationship is supposedly what this song is about. It looks like KT wrote it about her friends who were a couple and lived very far apart from each other, which didn't work out for them...
Wrapping It Up
I have had a play with video editing after seeing Steve's excellent production and he gave me some tips on how to go about it; still learning, but quite happy with the result and I am looking forward to do more.
Hope, you like it!
Thanks for looking!
