Greetings to the entire Open Mic community. In this week #264, we explore the theme: "Stronger." I have the pleasure of sharing my trumpet performance of "I Can Wait Forever," a soft rock song by the duo Air Supply, composed by Russell with David Foster and Jay Graydon. I'm sure some of you remember it from the movie Ghostbusters (1984). The melody is hopeful, emotional, and moves up and down. The lyrics speak of patient love and unwavering loyalty. The promise is kept to wait "forever" for your love, even if distance or time separates you. This song appears on their album Lost in Love. The principle of strength is implicit in the song. It takes commitment, love, and loyalty to wait for someone and thus withstand the test of time, distance, or uncertainty. Love is empowering and, when true, is patient and resilient.

Un cordial saludo a toda la comunidad de Open Mic. En esta semana #264, exploramos la temática: "Stronger". Tengo el placer de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «I Can Wait Forever», una canción de género Soft Rock del Duo Air Supply, compuesta por Russell with David Foster and Jay Graydon. Estoy seguro de que algunos la recordarán de la película Ghostbusters (1984). La melodía es esperanzadora, emotiva y con movimientos ascendentes y descendentes. La letra habla de amor paciente y lealtad inquebrantable. Se mantiene la promesa de esperar "para siempre" a su amor, incluso si la distancia o el tiempo los separan. Este tema aparece en su álbum Lost in Love. El principio de fortaleza está implícito en la canción. Se requiere compromiso, amor y lealtad para esperar por alguien y así resistir el paso del tiempo, la distancia o la incertidumbre. El amor brinda poder y, cuando es verdadero, es paciente, y resiliente.

When we talk about becoming stronger, we think of physical strength. But we can surely agree that it's not just a single dimension, but encompasses mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual aspects. I love the scripture, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Through our faith in Jesus Christ, we can accomplish all things. We may think we can become strong overnight, but the recipe includes patience, exercise, and discipline. For those who cultivate their bodies, it's necessary to adhere to daily routines and eat properly. The same concept applies to music. The first time you play a wind instrument like the trumpet, you may not be able to play a single musical note, but as you practice and demonstrate resilience, positive results emerge, such as a beautiful melody. We can also be strengthened through life's trials. In adversity, we can find opportunities to grow. I hope you enjoy my performance. God bless you all.

Cuando se habla de ser más fuerte, pensamos en la fortaleza física. Pero seguramente coincidiremos en que no solo comprende una dimensión, y que abarca aspectos mentales, emocionales, intelectuales y espirituales. Me encanta la escritura "Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece". (Filipenses 4:13). Por medio de nuestra Fe en Jesucristo podemos lograr todas las cosas. Quizás pensemos que podemos ser fuertes de la noche a la mañana, pero la receta incluye paciencia, ejercicios, y disciplina. Para aquellos que cultivan el cuerpo, es necesario cumplir con rutinas diarias, y una alimentación adecuada. En la música se aplica el mismo concepto. La primera vez que tocas un instrumento de viento como la trompeta, quizás no te salga ninguna nota musical, pero a medida que vas practicando y demuestras resiliencia, llegan resultados positivos como, por ejemplo, una hermosa melodía. También podemos ser fortalecidos por medio de las pruebas de la vida. En la adversidad podemos encontrar oportunidades de crecer. Espero que disfruten de mi interpretación. Dios los bendiga a todos.

I Can Wait Forever

When you say, I miss the things you do
I just wanna get back close again to you
But for now, your voice is near enough
How I miss you, when I miss you, love
And though
All the days that pass me by so slow
All the emptiness inside me flows, all around
And there's no way out
I'm just thinkin' so much of you
There was never any doubt...
I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait forever, if you will, I know it's worth it all
To spend my life alone with you

When it looked as though my life was wrong
You took my love and gave it somewhere to belong
I'll be here, when hope is out of sight
I just wish that I was next to you tonight, and oh
I'll be reachin' for you even though
You'll be somewhere else, my love will go
Like a bird, on its way back home
I could never let you go, and I just want you to know...
I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait forever, if you will, I know it's worth it all
To spend my life alone with you

Where are you now?
Alone, with the thoughts we share
Keep them strong somehow
And you know, I'll always be there...

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait, forever if you will, I know it's worth it all
To spend my life alone...
I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait, forever if you will, I can wait forever or more...
I can wait forever...
