Congratulation to @samostically, your song has been picked!! Well done on earning 1 HIVE!
You're lucky that I already knew the song, I was supposed to work on @kaerpediem request, but I decided to knock the one I know out of the park, but it took a little longer than expected. @kaerpediem I hope you don't mind, yours is on its way too.

For all of you that want me to cover a song you like, just add your song in the comment section, and I'll play it for you, you earn 1 HIVE, it's a honest living seriously 😄

First location

I've been looking into recording at that location since the locationhunt 2 weeks ago, and finally having a clear day, I gave a it a go, unfortunately the battery of the phone didn't last, I could have kept the version because it looked really good and only a few seconds were missing before the phone switched off while recording, but I thought that dalaying the shot to the next day wasn't a bad idea.

A really great look at the mountains, such a pity

Second Location

While on my way to the first location, I had a second of innattention, and the car ended up in a ditch. That's the first time something like this happen to me, for full disclosure, and I didn't enjoy the feeling.
I am happy nothing bad happened, I just also realized that I have been maybe multitasking a bit too much, and working like a maniac, I am planning on slowing down next week, that's the beauty of having no boss.

I'm also aware of the luck that I just had, I take it as a sign, I know I powered down 1k and I was trying to make up for the the 1k I m powering down, but nothing is worth the money, there is no point of becoming greedy.

So I'll try to learn how to slow down in the next few days, I really don't know how to do that, but I have to try.

Third Location

After the little kerfuffle, I thought it was time to do simple, so I picked a spot on the land we have, it's walking distance, I just have to wake up and go record.

It's quite early, and I would have waited a bit longer, unfortunately I had plenty of things to do during the day, so I work late, wake up early, and this is exactly why I gotta learn how how to chill haha.

Anyway, it's a beautiful spot, it's -3c, and my fingers are cold.

Perfect, this song from Ed Sheeran, is pretty cool. I normally like to slide some bluesy notes in between the transitions, but with the cold, I couldn't do much haha.
it's a concept of its own, the cold makes it impossible to play fingerstyle with precision.

It means that the song must be even more stripped down that usual. It's kind of a new concept to record in freezing temps. I can hear that the chords are also a bit dissonant, the cold is tightening up the string and untuning them quickly haha.

Should I take it as a sign? Should I just record at home from now on?
I don't know.

Maybe I should just relax for a while, I know which songs need to be recorded in the next few weeks, but I think I know what I am going to buy with the HP I powered down. A new pc, so I don't have to use the one from the kids and staying up all night working on posts.
I have to do it during the day :

Speaking of which, look how good it looked a few minutes after finishing the recording...
Maybe I should have waited a bit longer, but as I said, I had things to do afterwards, it's ok I will have plenty of other opportunities to record videos.

Ahhhhh... valiant effort pumpkin. (Stupid ditch!)
Beautiful locations. Nice performance.

Hahaha thanks pumpkin!

Those ditch are everywhere!!! Thx for passing by!!

You just have to set up and record?! That simple task would take me half a day, not counting the several days I would have to spend learning the song. Is this something you do often? I can just list a song? Is there a genre you prefer?

I love this post. The recording is great, and the locale you worked so hard to record it in makes it all the more lovely.

Yeah, set up mic stand, pc and the camera. Every time you see the mic stand, it means there were some setting up involved.
If it's just me without a mic, it's more impromptu and I use the mic of the camera, no need to set up. You'll be surprised that there is no correlation between effort and payout. Sometimes easy stuffs get attention, and hard to do stuffs are discarded, it's the name of the game!!!

Thanks for passing by @owasco 😘

As well I know!! The best thing I ever wrote got heavily downvoted because I have sbi. I wanted to quit!! But here I am, wondering if my next post will be the one to earn more than ten hive. I'd be ecstatic with a $50 payout!

That was an unfortunate chapter in our history, for sure! Ironically, that guy rage-quit Hive recently and moved to a blockchain that doesn't support downvoting.

Well hello sbi!! Are you human? You appear to be human. Nice to meet you finally!

Is that chapter completely over? I sure hope so. It was quite a downer for a lot of us, I must say. And probably very disturbing for you, who made posting here worth it for brand new me. He and I had quite the argument back then. I was spitting mad!!!

And I know. I just started blogging there too, and the account in question generously upvotes almost everything I post, which so far has been reposts of stuff from hive. I wonder if he feels guilty, having picked on an account as small as mine. I should repost the one he downvoted and see what happens, maybe finally earn something from it!

The downvotes against our members were resolved more than a year ago, and that account last posted in October.

SBI is run by @josephsavage (speaking, lol). You're always welcome to drop in and say hello in our Discord, too!

Thanks for the info, and nice to meet you!

I've been an SBI contributor and holder since before hive existed. Without SBI, some of my posts back then would have had a zero payout...

Thank you @edprivat . You did a nice cover on the song...

Coincidentally, I think, I've found a girl

@rubido 😋


I wish you success in your endeavors either at home or outside. It is just a good thing to take a break sometimes, A healthy one is good.

Congrats on your song to be picked, I hope I did it service.

I hope @rubido will make you happy, be careful she is a gold digging high maintenance biatcH.

It's good to slow down and take it easy every once in a while. Everyone needs that I think. Hopefully the new PC helps.

The first photo of the sunset is amazing. Great symmetry with the plant and the sun lined up. I don't know if that was intentional or if it just happened to work out that way, but it looks great. Nice one!

Yeah just one day of slowing down and I already feel better. I gotta force myself to take 2 or 3 days more, not being greedy, and lay down my plans.

Thanks!! No, it was intentional! How could you even doubt of my skills haha...
Ok I might have got super lucky lol !

Wonderful song brother, I really love your style in this song. Sorry about the car, it must have been a big scare. I'm glad you are looking for a new pc, it's really comfortable to post from there, I haven't been able to fix mine yet hehehe. The sun shots were fantastic! Really mystical and beautiful. 😎💯🙏👏🙏👍🎼🎵🎶😁🙌

Wut's up brother!!!

THanks the compliment, the car was fine, not even a scratch, just a bit of water inside, and it didn't cost me anything as the insurance took care of it.

Yeah, it's been maybe 6 months now that I've been waiting for this, and I cannot wait longer, because I obviously need it for work.

I hope you can fix your pc soon! Cheers my friend!!!

Nice!👏👏 Ok here's my request...drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁🥁 Hotel California by The Eagles. Groove it away Maestro! And I wanna hear those lyrics lol😜😅🙏

OH nice!!! A song that I know!!! Ok I might have to work on that intro, and the solo in the middle, but the rest won't be too much work, I love it when there isn't too much work!!!

Great choice!! A classic!!

Hahaha! Thought you'd like that one😝 Can't wait👏👏

That's good that nothing bad happened to you when you drove into the ditch, I can imagine that you were very scared. Sometimes we just have to downshift a bit and not overwork ourselves. Your voice is very beautiful, you have to be strong at minus 3 degrees. Thank you for sharing that with us!

you have to be strong at minus 3 degrees

Hahah thanks, heading toward -8 this week, yay!!!

Thanks for passing by and your kinds words, the car doesn't even have a single scratch, and neither do I!

great sound, very beautiful landscape

Thanks very much!!! Have a great day!!!

oh my god your car! XD I pray that doesn't happen to me :)
I loved your performance, I confess until recently I didn't know who Ed Sheeran was XD, now I know what song it is :) XD but you would not believe the reason I found out his work was because we lined up in a lockdown times benefit concert. It was a huge list of performers but I had no idea that red haired guy sharing one song from his couch was famous XD and then I was like oh my XD, guess It feels fancy though to be in a flyer along the name XD
