Welcome back to my blog, guys! Today I'm happy because the VIBES contest is back, created by @lordbutterfly with @verbal-d and @silentscreamer as jurors, it's a contest where you are eligible to win a very epic prize on HBD, for more info you can read this post.

This week has no theme, so I decided to bring a song that I've been putting off for a long time due to personal issues, but I was finally able to make the effort to do it and I really loved the final result.

Now, having said that, let's talk a little bit about the song and why it all worked out.

¡Bienvenidos de nuevo a mi blog, chicos! El día de hoy me siento feliz porque el concurso VIBES ha vuelto, creado por @lordbutterfly con @verbal-d y @silentscreamer como jurados, es un concurso en el que se puede optar por ganar una premiación muy épica en HBD, para mayor información pueden leer este post.

Esta semana no tiene temática, así que decidí traer una canción que he estado postergando durante mucho tiempo por temas personales, pero por fin pude hacer el esfuerzo de hacerla y realmente me encantó mucho el resultado final.

Ahora, dicho esto, hablemos un poco sobre la canción y el porqué de todo.

The Song

For this week, I decided to choose one of the songs that most revolutionized the music industry in the year 2024, as it was Die With A Smile by Bruno Mars with Lady Gaga, this song I think has been one of the most difficult I had to interpret for various reasons, but I feel I could do a job at the height of the type of song.

I told you at the beginning of the post that I had been putting off this song for a long time and the reason is the following; a year and a few months ago, specifically in September 2023, a very special person to me named Michelle Reino passed away and left me a huge void that until today had been difficult to cope with.

She was my first "serious partner", so to speak, because she was the first person I went out with after graduating from high school, she was the first person who met my parents and she was one of the best partners I have had in my whole life; in fact, she was a completely perfect person for me but because of my immaturity at that time I didn't see that or take advantage of it and we ended up not being a couple anymore but good friends.

That same year, just 2 weeks before she passed away, an aunt of mine passed away who was like a second mother to me and I remember that one of the people who was most there for me in that difficult time was her, she wrote me very nice messages and I remember she told me that we would have some beers one day in my aunt's name because she liked beers very much.

Unfortunately we couldn't do that because she passed away too and well, basically when I went to her funeral, it was one of the most horrible funerals I have ever been to in my whole life; I had never felt so sad and so empty for losing someone because I had never been to the funeral of an ex-partner or someone who wasn't a relative that meant so much to me.

At that time, around 2012, I was quite famous with music and she loved my songs, I remember she had a CD with all my songs and whenever we saw each other she put them in a player and started singing them at the top of her lungs with me, and that marked me too much, to the point that she probably generated many expectations of what I look for in a relationship without knowing it.

At her funeral, I remember that they did a mass in her honor and they sang songs for her but my voice didn't come out, I couldn't sing, I just cried a lot and I collapsed, it was too much pain; today I decide to do this song because I want to honor her memory and finally make the proper closure.

Her best friend told me, that being about to die, her last words were that she wanted to see me, even knowing that she had a partner with whom she had been with for 2 years, even her mother hugged me at the funeral and told me that I was always the love of her daughter's life, that really marked me, it is an amount of love that I don't feel I deserved, but I received.

I don't regret anything, because those mistakes in the past made me who I am today, yes I would have liked maybe to have taken more advantage of the love I received from him, because it was the purest love I have received in my life, so much, that he loved me until his last breath.

So I decided to make this cover and add a second verse written by me in Spanish in memory of how much she loved that I wrote romantic music, and this way I finally have the courage to let her go, finally I can say that I can live with her memory without nostalgia or pain, this is my way to thank her for everything she meant to me at the time and thank her for all the love she felt for me, even though I feel I never deserved it.

So long Michi, I treasure all the good things and will immortalize everything in this song, in the blockchain, forever.

I know that someday I will find a love as pure as the one you offered me, and I will be ready to receive it when I do, thank you for everything you taught me about myself.

I hope you enjoy this participation.
