Greetings fellow musical Hivers π€
Hey hey hey my fellow #ttt posters! How have you all been?? π It's been a while since my last #ttt post (note to self - on week 83 to be exact π ) and I've missed the fun! I've been thinking of joining in for a while now but I've been out of new musical ideas to share... I feel that I've shared all my "cards" in my previous posts and since I'm a creature of habits I tend to listen to my likes and that is it π. Usually, it's my partner who spices things up for me and shows me the wonderful world of musical variety.
However, I can't hide my love for even numbers and boy, #ttt number 100??!!! That's a reason to celebrate! Congratulations @ablaze, you've created such a strong and wonderful community here. I hope you're proud of yourself!
So, for #ttt nΒΊ100, I'll share 3 handpicked songs to honour the person who is my biggest inspiration for my forever ongoing pursuit in music!
Can you guess who that is, dear reader?
Three Tune Tuesday πΈ
For those of you who don't know, Three Tune Tuesday was created by @ablaze and as he explains π
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning a prize.
For those who might know me from previous #threetunetuesday participations, it might be an easy guess. But I wanted to create a bit of suspense, so please dear reader, indulge me if you will π€.
My biggest inspiration is someone who is very present in my life, he has the incredible ability to make me laugh and to calm me down in a heartbeat. He can also be the source of my biggest frustrations but what I've learned so far is that those have more to do with my triggers than with him (note to self - damn, getting closer to my thirties has made me wiser? π€) .
But one of the most wonderful things I couldn't have ever asked for is that I can be my full self around this special person. I can be goofy, I can talk child-ish, I can sing out of tune, I can start to dance weirdly, I can start crying out of the blue and I can talk to myself randomly around the house.
Never have I ever felt any piece of shaming coming from him and as odd as it may sound, that was a game changer in my life and in my ability to express myself. Now... I'm still a work in progress, of course. I can still feel some sort of trapped parts of me wanting to burst and come out. I sense those are deeply connected with music and my ability to let the music flow within my body and therefore express what I have within freely. Maybe one day I'll be able to do that but today it's not that day.
Today is for honouring this person who I deeply love. Can you guess it now, dear reader?
Yep! Might sound clichΓ© but my biggest inspiration in music is my partner, the one and only π. And no, he is not a musician per see although he loves music and has joined different bands during his "youth". He is just the one who gave me and continues to give the biggest push towards music.
He's the one who forced me to try to guess the name of the songs and bands during our many car road trips. I used to get so annoyed by it because I couldn't guess anyone! I'm terrible with names! Nowadays, I love it and because of him I can guess quite a few now π.
He's the one who incentivized me to sing even out of tune and got mad at me when I couldn't even try it because of my deep shame. Nowadays, he has to just deal with the fact that I'm singing out of tune every shower π€£.
He's the one who pushed me to pick up my guitar again and practised with me. He's the one who forced me to be part of some jam sessions with friends which I always loved but was too shy to even try to participate. Nowadays, I just don't care if I can't do all the hardcore stuff. I keep it simple and try to follow along even if I just play 1 chord in each compass.
So here it goes, my 3 song choice for celebrating love and especially to celebrate him β€οΈ.
Celebrating love β€οΈ
I found out about this next sound randomly in Spotify months (note to self - maybe a year) ago! I instantly loved the vibe, the flow and especially the words...
You clear the questions from my mind
I was afraid to say I love you
Afraid to take, and too eager to give
You helped me deal with what I'm feeling
With why and how I want to live
1 - Take Yo' Praise - Camille Yarbrough
The next song is a classic I'm sure many of you will know. However, I kinda like more this slightly different version. I love the calm pace it has to it as it reminds me to how my partner makes me feel.
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful
Of what I'm livin' for
2 - A Natural Woman - Carole King
Finally, a different meaning is also required. Not all are sun and giggles and every relationship has its hard and sad moments. Ours is no exception. Mistakes were made along the way and we've hurt each other more than I would have liked. But thankfully we've always managed to grow up from that and push forward, listening and expressing better to each other our needs and wants as well as respecting them. So the next song is a tribute to that, another one that I love, full of hope.
The shouted words, the tired sighs
The traded kiss of sad goodbyes
The living off of our desires
Then putting out a thousand fires
To feel so bad, to feel so good
To let it be misunderstood
Now I'd tear down my defenses
To love you all over again
3 - To love you all over again - Madeleine Peyroux
Final considerations π
That's it from me today, dear reader! Thank you for following along with me until the end π. I often have this dream of someday being able to sing (note to self - on key if possible!) these songs to him in front of a bunch of people ππ.
He once did a serenade to me with his college buddies and you know how the story goes, right? Six and half years later and we are still together, rowing this river we call life, bumping with a few obstacles along the way ππ.
Thank you for your time! See you soon ππ

Wow. Just wow! I am totally speechless. I remember gushing over the both of you. And oh my crackers, you two are just the jazz! I mean if Jazz was people, it'll be both of you cause you tug at my heart strings!
And that last song. It is powerful. So heartbreakingly good!
Thank yoou my love ππ€ we have some fun and we can be really goofy together ahaha π€£π€£ but only when no one is watching πππβΊοΈ
I also love that last song, it's so beautiful β€οΈ

Thank you so much @music-community, it's an honour π€
Very nice and romantic your publication, I wish you continue to reign happiness in you, thank you for sharing a little more of you with this musical touch.
Thank you for sharing your feelings in this musical house!
Thank you for taking the time to read it βΊοΈπ this was a post all about love hehe β€οΈβ€οΈ
Great :)!!! Thanks to you for sharing this posts :)
Now this was a nice post to read! Love the positivity and encouragement through it all. Carole King has such a great voice, too; definitely some great songs and stories to go with them.
And I adore the opening picture with the cat!
Thank you so much for your kind words! π I think Carole King has a very unique tone and way of singing, which I love β€οΈ
Ahahaha thank you! That's my cat Loki when he was the size of the arm of my guitar π He was probably 3-4 months old when I caught him sleeping like that π Nowadays, he still sleeps in weird and cute positions like that but he's way bigger than my guitar now π
WooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooo Daisy is back with some tunes, great to hear from you girl, hope all is well with you and yours in Portugal and that you have been looking after yourself.
Only 24 years after Fat Boy Slim brought this out, I find out it was a cover!! Ha ha, and the original is fantastic!!
Nothing wrong with revisiting old favourites and go with different songs, or covers of that same song or whatever. No pressure at all though, just join us when you can and you are always part of the #ttt crew anyway as one of the original first few that found it.
What is Love? This is...
You have found a really good guy and that photo sums it up perfectly, good for you guys and may you have many happy years together.
Finished out the trio beautifully with this one, which was my favourite by Madeleine Peyroux.
Hey there!! I'm so sorry I almost missed this comment π±π±π± And after yet another long absence from me here I come to shamely reply to your comment more than a month after it was made πππ Oh well, better late than never right? π
The video from FatBoy Slim looks so in the 90's ππ I liked it but to be honest I like the original one better ππ
Thank you for the reminder, I am a proud #ttt original fan!! I sometimes hold back and I have no reason for it other than my own prejudices and pre-conceived thoughts π as in so many other areas in my life if I think of it!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your time going through this heartfelt post π I'm very glad you liked it!
Edit: I will now go over the very delayed prizes I have to distribute for #ttt π. Get ready for a bunch of notifications from me ahahah π€£
Life gets busy and sometimes it's good to put Hive on ice and be more present in your real life, so not a bother at all. The main thing is you're well and happy, everything else is a bonus βοΈ
You're right π I just have to learn how to accept it without feeling guilty ahaha π
Thanks again for stopping by and keep rocking π€π€
I adore all three of these songs! Such a fantastic choice, Daisy π€What a wonderful tribute to your boyfriend. You guys are so cute together. All relationships feel bumps in the road from time to time. But you've got a good man there, and dare I say, he has a wonderful woman by his side. You have a gorgeous voice - one day when you find the perfect songs with which to share it, I'll also be waiting to cheer you on, you beautiful human beingπ !LUV !ALIVE !hivebits

@blackdaisyft! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @samsmith1971. (5/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
Ohhh, thank you so much, my love ππ€. This relationship has been a wild ride and I truly believe that we are what we need in each other. Although having similar values we are very opposite in how we view things, which is both fun and frustrating π€£π. We still have some tunning to do in how we communicate but we'll get there with patience and love πβ€οΈ
Thank you so much for stopping by, for your support and love! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to it, you know how it goes π

Yes! I completely understand how life is - just when you feel you've turned a corner, the corner turns into you! hehe... We both have our times away to regroup... so it's all good. But I've missed you hehe. It's lovely to see you around on Hive again. And I think relationships are just like that... two separate individuals come together, grow together, but still need to have the freedom to grow separately too... and there will be bumps... but we use our combined strengths to overcome them !LUV
