"Ojalá" - Silvio Rodríguez (Cover Song By @eduardo900613)

Hello, friends of #Hive in the #Muisc community! Today I bring to the #blog one of the most legendary and perfect songs ever written in Spanish, in my opinion. It is "Ojalá" by the great Silvio Rodríguez; this song was included in his 1978 album "Al final de este viaje" (At the End of This Journey). "Ojalá" is not just any romantic song; it is passion, a farewell letter that was never sent, a lament dampened with rage and love. While searching for information about this song, I found that Silvio himself once confessed that he wrote it after breaking up with a woman who, according to the artist, marked a turning point in his life. Musically, this song is a masterpiece, accompanied by an acoustic guitar that seems to cry with every arpeggio. In my country, Cuba, this song became an anthem, especially for the breakups of several generations. I remember how much it was sung at cultural events during my student days; I was spellbound by every guitar that played the melody. Almost 50 years later, "Ojalá" still gives listeners goosebumps; it is a phenomenon that continues to be covered by many artists, but when sung by Silvio Rodríguez, it is as if one were listening to the angels themselves. This video is a modest tribute to this beautiful song; I would have liked to defend it at the time in the Vibes Web3 Music Competition. "Ojalá", as the song itself says, may @lordbutterfly, creator of this competition, one day take up such a beautiful project again, one that changed the lives of many Hivers. I perform this song with the satisfaction of a dream come true, singing loudly and accompanying myself on the guitar, just as Silvio recorded it. Because this song doesn't need anything else, it's enough for someone to truly feel it for it to flow. Let me know in the comments: how does listening to this song make you feel? Thank you very much for visiting my #blog and I wish you the best of days.
