60 Years of Life | Vietnamese 60's Rock

New week here and how is your mood to rock it?

Hi dear! ❤️️
Recently I’m going through a real busy time to get settled with my job and also to not let go of anything I love to do.
After getting back here for a few days I realized that my feelings about Hive and my friends here have moved to a different level!

I don’t know how it is like for you when you start to get along with everyone here and to know more people, for me I’m just totally amazed and moved realizing I have some friends sticking around with me. There were days I was not online and could not check anything out, and when I’m back, you are there keeping to contribute for the community. And with your caring words and encouragement, now I understand why many long term Hivers told me at the beginning “Later on you’ll stick with Hive because of the community”.

This is so pure, this is so beautiful!

Alright!
Now back to the song haha
I’m setting some equipment in my room so I can get a better and more stable camera angle. I kinda like this angle, I like “clean” background.

As you know I’m so much into 60’s rock. International rock in general!
And other than that, sometimes I like a few modern songs, I like 70’s and 80’s pop as well. But still, I never knew how much I’m really into 60’s rock, until I look back at the Vietnamese songs I like (which I have not played for awhile), I realized the songs that can really get me... are Vietnamese 60’s rock songs too haha

And here what makes this special! This is a bit about history
You know how amazing American 60’s rock is, right? A major ingredient of the whole world’s rock.

>In Viet Nam, from 1954-1975 was when American stationed in the South, specifically Saigon! – Where the song I’m playing today is from!*

That was a really long time and was the era when Sai Gon became such a beautiful place with music influence, dancing, trading, culture things... and Sai Gon became an Eastern Pearl of the whole area.

Here I’m not mentioning anything about the war, I’m talking about the music!

And so much or music that came out that time became gold!
So many types of music were formed suring that time too. And this we can not skip rock!
All those twist songs! We even got influenced by Elvis Presley and there was Vietnamese super rock star back then got his stage name “Elvis Phuong”.
And the cool thing about the culture influence is, it got mixed with the local culture!

Nowadays, those songs are still alive just like American classics. And this song is one of them!

60 Year of Life (I translated its name) is a song by Y Van – He was a real pillar of Vietnamese music in 50’s-90’s until he passed. He wrote hundreds songs and most of them became hits.

This is is simple and it brings a rocknroll positive spirit to encourage us to love!

Life is not long, he said: The first 20 yearss, you grow up and study, the next 20 years, you focus on working to get settled and you fall inlove and you suffer as well, you have like 20 years left to enjoy life with your loved ones when everything is already put together...
And that, never waste your time!

This is cool, isn’t it?
This song was absolutely influenced by American rock, and with the talent of the composer, it brings a special vibe!

I definately do a crazy rock’n’roll version of this song on stage, but here, let’s be more chill! But you see how cool the basslines of 60's are! I love adding basslines this way and it has become my nature to do it.

Enjoy the song and I hope you have a wonderful week there!
Big hugs to all of you!

And once again, I’m so grateful you are here today! ❤️️

My dear, how much time?
Sixty years of life
First twenty years
Not much happy times
Next twenty years
Sadness is so high
Last twenty years not much!
My dear, how much time, sixty years of life
Away from you, who will be my love?
So, when in love, please love to life's end
My dear, we won't live long!
Not so much
One's life won't last long
Not so long
One's life won't last much
Years we have
Let's live for our love!
My dear, how much time, sixty years of life
Away from you who will be my love?
So, when in love, please love to life's end
My dear, we won't live long!
