Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community working for world peace through a love of live music. Each week is a new invitation to express and connect.
🎵 Hive Open Mic
Special Announcement
Our 100th Hive Open Mic event arrives in six weeks, woohoo! In celebration of this great occasion, we're preparing now for a worldwide singing event in which all musicians are invited to perform the same song. Beginning on February 27, 2022, we will sing and play "Oh My Love" by John Lennon. Our vision is to celebrate the spirit of oneness, making music that unites us all as we make a stand for global harmony.
You may recall a similar invitation on our 72nd week, when we created an incredible musical expression: Hive Open Mic #72: "Simple Pretty Melody". This experience brought our community closer together, building connections around the world. We hope to co-create something similar during our 99th weekly event, in order to present it for our 100th community concert. Our vision is to make music that unites us as all we stand together for global harmony
We will sing "Oh My Love" in English and Spanish for the 99th week. We're thankful to @betzaelcorvo for his original translation of this song: "Oh Mi Amor". Thanks to @mipiano and @jesuslnrs for their efforts to support the Spanish translation of this song, for clarity in meaning. Spanish-speaking members can look for a follow-up announcement to be published through this account later this week.
🎵 Oh My Love
by John Lennon
"Oh My Love" is a song written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, appearing on Lennon's Imagine album in 1971 (Wikipedia). This is the song we are invited to sing together for the 99th week. You'll see both the English and Spanish lyrics given below, along with links to a printable music sheet and a karaoke track to help you with your recording process. .
Lyrics
| Oh My Love [English] | Oh Mi Amor [Spanish] |
|---|---|
| Oh my love for the first time in my life | Oh mi amor por primera vez en mi vida |
| My eyes are wide open | Mis ojos están bien abiertos |
| Oh my lover for the first time in my life | Oh mi amante por primera vez en mi vida |
| My eyes can see | Mis ojos pueden ver |
| I see the wind oh I see the trees | Veo el viento oh veo los árboles |
| Everything is clear in my heart | Todo está claro en mi corazón |
| I see the clouds oh I see the sky | Veo las nubes oh veo el cielo |
| Everything is clear in our world | Todo está claro en nuestro mundo |
| Oh my love for the first time in my life | Ay mi amor por primera vez en mi vida |
| My mind is wide open | Mi mente está abierta |
| Oh my lover for the first time in my life | Oh mi amante por primera vez en mi vida |
| My mind can feel | Mi mente puede sentir |
| I feel the sorrow oh I feel dreams | Siento el dolor oh siento los sueños |
| Everything is clear in my heart | Todo está claro en mi corazón |
| I feel life oh I feel love | Siento vida oh siento el amor |
| Everything is clear in our world | Todo está claro en nuestro mundo |

This week's invitation is: “Ethics + Freedom.”
OK this is a big one oportunity and I love it. I will participate and the Spanish version is well done the only thing is that we need to adapt the shape of the music I mean how gonna sounds the words that is something that we the Spanish-speakers needs to be agree. But is a interesting and very exciting chanllege and I accept it. Let's do this :D
Yes, you're exactly right about adapting the shape of the music! I'm grateful we have several weeks to iron out the Spanish translation. And we have some brilliant minds to figure it out and make sure it feels good when we bring our voices together. I definitely value your input, so please share your thoughts as you begin to play with the song. Thank you.
I'm able to everything that you need
First of all I thank you, brother Cabe, for your dedication to the beautiful community of Hive Open Mic, you are a fundamental part of our family.
I am glad to know that we are going to do something special to celebrate the 100th editions of this global event. I sincerely believe it's going to be a success, as it was the 72nd week.
Aw, sister, I remember the way you showed up as the very first participant when we did this in week 72. Thank you again for your presence then, now, and always. Yes, I feel the excitement brewing as we approach our 100th week, and I'm so glad we can all put our hearts together again. This is an amazing community we share, and it's high time we celebrate the connections we're making as a family that spans the world.
Amazing! Count me in, brother! I'm back to the music world of #Hive so I'll be making my video! Let's keep making the love for music grow up!
PS: I'll make some modifications to the spanish lyrics so it could sound more as the english pronuntiation, so let me see what can I do, count me in, we'll have to send you the vídeo or just upload it for the week 100?
Right on! It's always a joy to hear from you. Yeah, I'd love to know your input for the Spanish lyrics. I'm hoping we can find a good way to carry the song in a way that reflects its original meaning and feeling, so it feels warm and bright when we sing it. 🔥✨
Ok, then let me handle this! I'll be recording this weekend so possibly Monday or Tuesday I'll be uploading the song with the spanish lyrics updated so it can mean the same and almost be pronunciated like the english version.
Thank you so much always, brother!
You are a Godsend, and a gentleman.
Awesome! I am so excited about this announcement. Once again we will have the opportunity to unite our voices in a global melody, this time highlighting Love. I can't wait to join in and give my humble contribution to this event, and I can't wait to see the performances of the other musicians.
It's such great news that you're feeling excited and ready for another round. Yes, let's celebrate Love! Hugs.
The Hive Open Mic of week 72 was one of the consecrating moments for this community, and we are grateful and very happy to have been part of that historic moment.
Once again dear Cabe you surprise us with this noble proposal that will unite us all once again in one voice, we have a lot of emotion in our hearts and we are anxious for what we are sure will be an epic moment. Thank you very much for this, we will be there without fail.
Ow-Ow-oWOo! (wolf howling). I'm glad to know you'll be there for this second round as the two of you brought an amazing presence to the first one. I have a feeling this is going to be another beautiful experience for all of us to enjoy. Cheers!

Thanks
I looked at your link. I left a comment for you there, just now. It looks like you've done everything correctly. Sometimes a post slips through the cracks unnoticed, for whatever reason. I think this situation will resolve itself naturally, as you continue to participate in the community. I'm glad you're here.
Wow, I must say this is really a nice initiative to unite us all together as musicians.
This is lovely and I so much buy the idea
Qué bien amigo @cabelindsay. Estoy totalmente emocionado por esta extraordinaria idea. Felicitaciones para todos y a trabajar juntos.
How nice my friend @cabelindsay. I am totally excited about this extraordinary idea. Congratulations to all and to work together.
I will support this and count on me🙏Thank you for the invitation.Is there any rules and regulation?
!BEER
For this occasion, we'll keep the same guidelines in mind. We'll still ask you to start your video: "Hive Open Mic Week 99, I'm @olivia08," for example. And you'll create a post to present your video, as usual. The only real difference is that you'll probably want to use our downloadable mp3 as a karaoke track, listening with headphones. We will handle the task of stitching your piece together with the other songs as a co-creation.
Thank you so much for the information and where we van find the downloaded mp3?
Great question, thanks. In this post, you'll see a section for "Resources," and that's where you can find the link to the MP3.
Thanks!😍
