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 there is a special theme which is to sing a song that is not in your native language, so I went for When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars, a song that is not really in my vocal range, so I had to look for an instrumental that was in a lower key and I got this one and it worked well for me.
This song has very painful lyrics and I decided to give it a very heartfelt interpretation and for that I used my voice with the strumming technique to emphasize that pain, it's a complicated technique, especially to keep high notes, but I feel I did it well and without hurting myself, so I hope you enjoy this performance.
La Canción
Para esta semana hay una temática especial que consiste en cantar una canción que no esté en tu idioma nativo, por lo que me decidí por When I Was Your Man de Bruno Mars, una canción que ralmente no está dentro de mi rango vocal, así que tuve que buscar una instrumental que estuviera en unos tonos más bajos y conseguí esta y me funcionó bien.
Esta canción tiene una letra muy dolorosa y decidí darle una interpretación muy sentida y para ello utilicé mi voz con la técnica de rasgueo para darle énfasis a ese dolor, es una técnica complicada, sobretodo para mantener agudos, pero siento que lo hice bien y sin hacerme daño, por lo que espero que disfruten este performance.
When I Was Your Man
I
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you
All it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little
When I hear your name
Pre-Coro
It all just sounds like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
Coro
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
II
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you
To walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
Pre-Coro
It all just sounds like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
Coro
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Puente
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
Coro Final
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

Since the song was in a very high key, I decided to look for a track to sing with a lower key and I found this track on Youtube:
