Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from South Africa!
I am into the 17th week of this challenging series of posts I have set myself for Thursdays! BUT I Need your Help to keep going please!
This is the challenge I'm setting myself every Thursday: I ask for cover song requests on the MUSIC community (make a comment on this post to take part by suggesting a song for me to try), and then I pick a favourite song to learn and post a live video of me attempting it. The person who asked for the winning song then gets 50% of the post rewards in HP! (If I pick a second song, that person gets 20% of the post rewards in HP as well!) It's as simple as that! (Well for everyone but me who then has to learn to sing and play new songs! Haha!)
This week's winner is @nahupuku from Venezuela. I think many of you will know him as the owner of the Pukumundo Community (https://ecency.com/created/hive-142415), which is dedicated to rock and metal culture around the globe! The Pukumundo also hosts an initiative called "The Singing Voice" or "La Voz Cantante" where accounts like mine can submit rock/metal/punk covers! This is excellent as it means I have 5 weekly reasons to pick up my guitar (or ukelele, etc...) and post on HIVE, namely:
- Hive Open Mic
- Three Tune Tuesday
- Hive Music Festival
- This intitiative (my own Cover Request Contest)
- The Singing Voice on Pukumundo
So, I'm really grateful for the opportunities, and I'm glad I get to sing a song for @nahupuku today! To my surprise, instead of asking for rock or metal, he has asked from a classic crooner: "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley. Here is the original:
What an absolute classic! Well done @nahupuku! You get 50% of this post reward in HP!
So now, for everybody else reading this, please take part! All you have to do is make a comment on this post with a suggestion for a cover song that you would like me to attempt next week. Give it a shot!!
Lyrics for "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Good job! I recall @clairemobey covered this one as a sort of 1st Valentine's day present to me when we were dating.
I should probably put more song requests in as well...
I did indeed <3 I love you Mr @ZakLudick also, well done @Jasperdick !!!
Haha - thank you! Are you saving your requests for one of those quieter weeks where you're more in the running to get selected?
I've been so busy, I just haven't been submitting them because I usually miss them! I will though... just need to think for something.
Wow! Great job! My salute to the singers all around the world who add joy and colors to humans' life through music.
Thank you so much! If you ever want to request a song, please look out for my posts on Thursdays like this one!
Wow! This Thursday? I'm excited about this.
Great cover! Great choice @nahupuku !
I'm still going to request State of Confusion by the Kinks. One of my favourite songs ever.
🙏☺️
Oooh - so you're doubling down on this one! That means you really mean it!
Haha, yes! It's an awesome song.
The crowd cheers! -cue sound effects-
They throw !Luv and drink !BEER -cue bot replies-
Little by little the frenetic noise turns into chanting:
"Enchore! Night Moves!" can be heard over and over again. -cue @jasperdick playing Night Moves-

Wooow amazing work! Well done!
You made a very cool cover

And thanks a Lot for your kind words @jasperdick
Well i'm huge fan of Elvis lol
This LP it's part of My music colection
Well PukuMundo it's about rock culture and rockandroll history it's a part of that thing too, so Elvis it's a Big part of that history. His songs influenced tons of músicians. In the other hand I'm from Venezuela, Southamerica. And I live in a Caribean Country. With the caribean sea in front. So, here we listen a Lot of reagge too. And this particular song was very famous here and Red red wine because UB40 play that 80s reagge pop same The Police band too. SO, because of that this song it's so special for me. It's part of the musical culture around here. Blessings
Ah okay! So for "The Singing Voice" I can do some older stuff too that led to rock and metal... like classic rock, blues and reggae?
Yesss. But with the reagge: Only reagge rock. Not could be soft or pop reagge

Nice cover mate. And yeah, apparently the myth is true and ¡Elvis is still Alive! Hahahaha
Ok bro, let's bite in your proposal and I'm gonna slam you with a good challenge with my "song cover request" for the next thursday. A mellow song that I really love and that I suspect that according your style of singing and playing the guitar, you actually also will love interpreting it and making it really yours. :)
The song is: "In The Waiting Line from Zero 7"
Cheers!!
Saludos Jasper
Esta es mi primera participación en tu iniciativa. Me parece increíble y súper cool!
Mi propuesta para el siguiente jueves es un clásico del rock de los 90:
Black de Pearl Jam
Suerte!
