Hive Music Festival Week 177 Round 3 "Never Gonna Give You Up" Cover By @luisfe

Rick Astley era un vocalista con una voz prodigiosa y muy tímido. En 1987 perdió su empleo, perdió su casa, perdió todo su dinero, tuvo qué pedir posada en casa de un amigo que en ese momento pasaba por un proceso sentimental fuerte.

Todas las noches el amigo telefoneaba a su esposa tratando de convencerla de que su amor por ella era genuino, que nunca la defraudaría.

Esto era algo que se repetía todas las noches. Un día Rick le dijo a su amigo: "Tú nunca vas a defraudar a esa mujer, nunca la vas a abandonar, nunca le vas a decir adiós". Con esas palabras como estribillo, su amigo creó la canción "Never gonna give you up", se la mostró a Rick y le dijo que quería que él la interpretara. Rick la grabó. Ninguno de los dos sospechó siquiera el gran éxito en que resultaría a nivel mundial. Alcanzó el primer lugar en la popularidad de más de veinticinco países.

Ahora como dato curioso, les cuento que actualmente existe el "Rickroll" que es una broma de internet en la que prometen darle acceso al contenido de una información interesante, pero al hacer clic se es redirigido al video de "Never gonna give you up".

Y de hecho, la razón por la cual he elegido esta canción fué porque un amigo en un grupo de chat ha estado fastidioso con los Rickrolls así que quise devolverle el favor y además de eso, así aprovechaba de Rickrollear a mis amigos de la curación en vivo de la comunidad Bokura No Digital World en Discord, puro ganar-ganar

Si les interesa leer algo más detallado con respecto a la canción les dejo un link de Wikipedia acá

Sé que la canción les gustará y espero que mi interpretación también sea del agrado de todos

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, @musiczone community! A big hello to all the music-loving members who, week after week, find in Hive Music Festival the ideal setting to share their performances.

We're already in week 177, which means this Festival has been active for over 44 months, so we're very close to completing its first four years.

For this Round 3, I've performed for you the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by singer-songwriter Rick Astley, a song from 1987.

This song, a huge hit of the eighties, was created, recorded, and performed under unusual circumstances:

Rick Astley was a vocalist with a prodigious voice and was very shy. In 1987, he lost his job, his house, all his money, and had to ask for shelter at the home of a friend who was going through a difficult emotional time.

Every night, the friend would call his wife, trying to convince her that his love for her was genuine, that he would never let her down.

This was something that was repeated every night. One day, Rick told his friend, "You're never going to let that woman down, you're never going to abandon her, you're never going to say goodbye." With those words as a refrain, his friend created the song "Never Gonna Give You Up," showed it to Rick, and told him he wanted him to perform it. Rick recorded it. Neither of them suspected the huge success it would become worldwide. It reached number one in popularity in more than twenty-five countries.

Now, as a curious fact, I'll tell you that there's currently a "Rickroll," which is an internet prank where you're promised access to interesting information, but when you click, you're redirected to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" video.

And in fact, the reason I chose this song was because a friend in a chat group has been going on about Rickrolls, so I wanted to return the favor. Besides, it also gave me the opportunity to Rickroll my friends from the live curation group in the Bokura No Digital World community on Discord—a win-win situation.

If you're interested in reading more about the song, here's a Wikipedia link: here

I know you'll like the song, and I hope you all enjoy my interpretation as well.
