I don't know should I just concentrate right now to a #SadSunday post, as it would be so nicely inspired with this sad week for cryptocurrencies. All that music that can be described as dramatic and pathetic, that came out from the pen of the composers which had maybe some different trigger to write that music. Broken heart, failure, rejection by society, illness, death, remorse, injustice, financial collapse... Anything can be an inspiration for a sensitive person, however, not just unfortunate things make them a call for action.
Good events are also a reason to celebrate and express feelings through musical language, which will happen in this song that we will listen to today. A romantic song, inspired by love to another person, composed and performed by a hard rock band! Don't run away, it will not be that hard rock style that disperses the listeners. Stay and listen to the original song, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, by Aerosmith.
Of course, not just the original song can be found in this #OriginalvsCovers post. There will be some interesting covers, at least I find them interesting, and the most important thing, a #hive user guest. If you are not familiar with the idea, you can check out my previous posts on this topic, at the end of this publication you can find the links to them.
ORIGINAL SONG: Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
Aerosmith, a band whose members had some major drug problems, remains active since 1970. They are influenced by blues and rock and roll but formed their own hard rock sound that was later an example for other hard rock and heavy metal bands. They have released 15 studio albums (plus 6 live albums, 16 compilation albums), and also contributed some music to films, television and video games. For example, this song is the love theme, from the 1998 film Armageddon. Steven Tyler's daughter Liv is starring there, and we can see her in this music video too. The song was nominated for an Academy Award and this slow ballad opened Aerosmith up to a new generation of listeners.
COVER 1 by PostmodernJukebox
First cover - first-class also, not just first in this order. Look and listen to this vintage style, 1920's type of cover. It is absolutely adorable, the whole brass band sound, the pianist is awesome, but the singer, oh my, she is the queen! Love her interpretation and voice. Ooooow, it made me move while listening and writing. Like dancing in a sitting position :D . I am so happy I saw this cover, it had to come here! Do you agree? PostmodernJukebox, if there will be an opportunity to listen to you in a live version, I would not like to miss it as I suppose it would be an unforgettable experience.
COVER 2 by The Trumpet Man
Trumpet man, you play so well your instrument, so professional sound, worked out very well the lead melody. Although it is just upon the accompaniment of the original song his playing made me choose him as well, and we have never had a trumpet cover in this series. I could take a look at what more he has from covers, I think it is worthy to include him sometimes. Well done dear trumpet man!!
COVER 3 by Amélie Guiboux
We have never had a harp cover either. Just so so so nice to listen to an original hard rock band ballad played on a harp. And she is doing great. So concentrated as playing the harp is not as easy it seems. When I went to middle music school, the harp section opened and some students started. Through friend talks, we listened to their struggles in learning and how they have to take care of their fingers and fingertips. A very interesting instrument and nice cover. Thanks, Amelie.
COVER 4 by Barbershop Harmony Society
Responding to the question of this Barbershop Harmony Society guy "How many of you remember the summer of 1998?" I can say I remember it, together with all those summers I spent in my home town, taking some break from studying and just enjoying the calmer pace of everything. But I would be lying to say I remember the movie Armageddon from that summer, I am pretty sure I was not interested then to watch it but in music, I was and still am interested. So the same interest is here now to listen to this cool cover, also different than the other ones. Four voices gathered to make perfect harmonies and providing us goosebumps from this shower of emotions. It gives the feeling that they even breathe together. Nice!
