In a few days I will be 3 years in our beloved blockchain of Hive. Since my beginnings, I have shared content in the #Music community and am grateful for that. I am pleased to share my interpretation of "Nine Million Bicycles" , a folk-pop song composed by Mike Batt and played by Katie Melua. I like the melody because it is soft and with a moderate vocal range. I want to highlight the sound of the ocarina and a Chinese bamboo flute. That diversity of wind instruments reminded me of the woodwind player Pedro Eustache. The rhythm is constant and relaxed, with a moderate and reflective tempo. The lyrics talk about the immensity of the universe and the number of people in the world they love. Those who have seen videos or traveled to Beijing will know that it is a means of mass transport and each person keeps a singularity, a story, and a destination.

En unos días estaré cumpliendo 3 años en nuestra amada Blockchain de Hive. Desde mis inicios he compartido contenido en la comunidad de #Music y me siento agradecido por eso. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «Nine Million Bicycles», una canción pop folk compuesta por Mike Batt e interpretada por Katie Melua. Me gusta la melodía porque es suave y con un rango vocal moderado. Quiero destacar el sonido de la ocarina y de una flauta de bambú chino. Esa diversidad de instrumentos de vientos me hizo recordar al multiinstrumentista Pedro Eustache. El ritmo es constante y relajado, con un tempo moderado y reflexivo. La letra habla sobre la inmensidad del universo y de la cantidad de personas en el mundo que aman. Para los que han visto videos o han viajado a Beijing, sabrán que es un medio de transporte masivo y cada una de esas personas guarda una singularidad, una historia, y un destino.
If there is something that makes me feel stupor it is fanaticism in all its versions. Some people follow their favorite football team and are intolerant of people who remain neutral or perhaps have sympathy for another team and want to impose their beliefs dogmatic, closing to dialogue, to reflect and look for the truth. The same case applies to music, ideology, politics, and religion. No one owns the truth, or he can say that he knows all things. For what we have faith in God, it is important to scrutinize everything. Fanaticism distorts faith, restricts, separates, and imposes. In a world where social networks impose their beliefs, it is necessary to look for reliable and verifiable sources. It usually happens that, in truth, some elements are lies and deceptions. For this, it is important to cultivate discernment through study and faith.

Si hay algo que me hace sentir estupor es el fanatismo en todas sus versiones. Algunas personas siguen a su equipo de fútbol favorito y son intolerantes con las personas que se mantienen neutrales o tal vez tienen simpatía por otro equipo, y quieren imponer sus creencias de manera dogmática, cerrándose al diálogo, a reflexionar y a buscar la verdad. El mismo caso aplica para la música, la ideología, la política y la religión. Nadie es dueño de la verdad, o puede decir que conoce todas las cosas. Para lo que tenemos fe en Dios, es importante escudriñarlo todo. El fanatismo distorsiona la fe, restringe, separa e impone. En un mundo donde las redes sociales imponen sus creencias, es necesario buscar fuentes confiables y comprobables. Suele suceder que, en una verdad, algunos elementos sean mentiras y engaños. Para ello es importante cultivar el discernimiento por medio del estudio y por la fe.
**Nine Million Bicycles **
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say
There are six billion people in the world
More or less, and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die
