Hello dear friends of Hive Open Mic, thank you all so much for the support I received during my last performance 🫶🏾. This week I'll be back with you, sharing a little more of my art ✨️.
I'm bringing you a song I really love by Norah Jones, "Don't Know Why." I think it fits perfectly with this week's theme, "Repentance," since the lyrics of this ballad reflect the feeling of someone who has let an opportunity slip by and is now reflecting on their decision, the melancholy of a lost chance, and the regret.
Every opportunity comes into our lives for a reason, and we shouldn't let it pass us by. I think we should all understand that we only have one life, and we have to live it to the fullest, and that time waits for no one. Then, when everything goes wrong, we ask ourselves why??? Life gives us a sign, a path, but we choose the wrong one, or we don't notice the sign, and then comes the regret, the lament, the internal struggle over our own actions. Time passes, and in the end, it's too late to reflect, to start over.
I invite you to listen to this beautiful song, and to make the most of the new opportunities that life gives us 😊.

Hola queridos amigos del Hive Open Mic, muchas gracias a todos por el apoyo recibido en mi participación anterior🫶🏾. Esta semana estaré con ustedes de nuevamente, mostrándoles un poco más de mi arte✨️.
Les traigo una canción que me gusta mucho de la cantante Norah Jones, "Don't know why" , creo que concordaba muy bien con el tema "Repentance" de esta semana, puesto que la letra de esta balada refleja la sensación de una persona que ha dejado pasar una oportunidad, y ahora se encuentra reflexionando sobre su decisión, la melancolía de una oportunidad perdida y el arrepentimiento.
Cada oportunidad llega a nuestras vidas por una razón, y no deberíamos dejarla pasar por alto. Creo que todos deberíamos entender que la vida es una sola, y hay que vivirla al máximo, y que el tiempo no perdona. Luego cuando todo va mal, nos preguntamos por qué???, y es que la vida nos da una señal, un camino, pero escogemos el incorrecto, o no nos percatamos de esa señal, y después viene el arrepentimiento, el lamento, la lucha interna por nuestras propias acciones, así va pasando el tiempo, y al final se hace muy tarde para recapacitar, para volver a empezar🤷🏾♀️.
Les invito a escuchar esta hermosa canción, y a que aprovechemos al máximo las nuevas oportunidades que nos da la vida😊.
LYRICS
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
Don't know why I didn't come
Don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching tear-drops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
Don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
