Hive Music Festival Week 43 - Round 1 "Quisiera" Cover By @sayury

I got to know this song when I was watching a soap opera called "Más Allá del Horizonte". It was the musical theme of that novel in Venezuela. It was a very beautiful novel and based on real events in the Argentine pampas. The romance of the owner of a ranch with an aborigine employed by her: Catriel. It was one of those steamy, passionate romances where everything was against them. I followed this novel with great interest together with my mother and on the day of the final chapter...the power went out at exactly that time. We didn't worry because always when a soap opera ended the next day "with much fanfare" they announced the "replenishment on request of the final chapter of such a soap opera." I always thought that they were repeated as company policy, not because people actually called to see the episode again. But precisely with this novel that did not happen... they did not repeat the last chapter.

At that time (I'm talking about forty years ago) there were no social networks, so I sat at the little table next to the phone and called all my acquaintances to see who had been watching it so they could tell me the ending... and no one had seen it (Maybe that was why they didn't repeat the last chapter) Well, I was fascinated by the beautiful story, unfinished for me, and this song is haloed for me with the halo of nostalgia of those days.

The song talks about someone's effort to forget a love from the past that persists intensely and stubbornly in his heart despite the years. Very expressive lyrics, very "a la Ricardo Montaner", with a strong emotional charge and a beautiful melody.

I sang it in G major and I found some unusual chord changes, there's a moment where it jumps from C to B7 and back to C and it really is such a beautiful melodic twist.

I am participating in the voice category and I hope you liked my interpretation
