.>Greetings music lovers. I hope that the beauty of music, harmonizing your life always brings joy to your hearts.
In this week 68 we are in the second round, of another cycle of three in this wonderful Festival with everything to enjoy it.
For health reasons - rather for reasons of illness - just this week I was able to "activate" with music on our beloved Hive network.
I want to share with you a song whose lyrics and melody I have always liked. This is the song "The Circle Game" belonging to the sound track of the film of the same name but whose title was passed to the Hispanic community as "Las Fresas de la Amargura" (The Strawberries of Bitterness)
This song was originally written and performed by Joni Mitchell
Her singing is softer and much slower than the version performed and popularized by Buffy Saint-Marie as part of the successful sound track of the film "Strawberries of Bitterness" based on a true story book by James Simon Kunen, written when He was 19 years old.
There he narrated his experiences at Columbia University from 1966 to 1968, in particular those of April 1968, when a group of students staged a series of protests against the Vietnam War and certain changes at the University and took the deanery.
The film presents strong scenes of police repression.
.
Of course, at that time I didn't see the movie, I was around 10 years old and my film interests were "Magila Gorilla", "Mr Cat and its Gang", "The Milton Monster", "The Flintstones" and "Meteoro", but the melody of this song It fascinated and captivated me from the first time I heard it. I hope my version of it is to your liking.
By the way, as an anecdotal note I tell you that the mumps went away but they left me with a slight labyrinthitis. Every time I go to bed I see the room turning and turning. Same thing in the morning when I wake up. When I open my eyes everything goes around and around and I have to wait a little while before stopping. Maybe my subconscious associated it with the "go round and round and round" of the song and that's why I chose it this time. Patience
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like "when you're older" must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
cfCartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Saludos amantes de la música. Espero que la belleza de la música, armonizado vuestra vida siempre traiga alegría a vuestros corazones. En esta semana 68 estamos en la segunda ronda, de otro ciclo de tres en este maravilloso Festival con todo para disfrutarlo.
Por motivos de salud - más bien por motivos de enfermedad - apenas está semana pude "activarme" con la música en nuestra querida red de Hive. Deseo compartir con ustedes una canción cuya letra y melodía siempre me han gustado. Se trata de la canción "The Circle Game" perteneciente al sound track de la película del mismo nombre pero cuyo título pasó a la comunidad hispana como "Las Fresas de la Amargura"
Esta canción la escribió e interpretó originalmente Joni Mitchell
Su canto es más suave y mucho más lenta que la versión interpretada y popularizada por Buffy Saint-Marie como parte del exitoso sound track de la película ^Las Fresas de la amargura" basada en un libro de relato real de James Simon Kunen, escrita cuando tenía 19 años. Allí el narró sus experiencias en la Universidad de Columbia 1966-1968, en particular los de abril de 1968, cuando un grupo de estudiantes protagonizó una serie de protestas contra la guerra de Vietnam y ciertos cambios en la Universidad y tomaron el decanato. La película presenta fuertes escenas de represión policial.
.
Por supuesto, en esa época no vi la película, tenía alrededor de 10 años y mis intereses filmicos eran "Marina gorila", "Don Gato y su pandilla", "El monstruo Milton" y "Meteoro", pero la melodía de esta canción me fascinó y atrapó desde la primera vez que la escuché.
Espero que mi versión de la misma sea de vuestro agrado. Por cierto, como nota anecdótica les cuento que se me fueron las paperas pero me dejaron una leve laberintitis. Cada vez que me acuesto veo que el cuarto gira y gira. Igual en la mañana al despertar. Al abrir los ojos todo da vueltas y vueltas y debo esperar un ratito antes de pararme. A lo mejor mi subconsciente lo asoció con el "go round and round and round" de la canción y por eso la elegí está vez ¡Paciencia!
Gracias por ver el video hasta el final y llegar leyendo hasta acá.
