Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Zone Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town in South Africa! Welcome to Week 19 / Round 1 of the Hive Music Festival! I have only done original songs so far for the Hive Music Festival, and I still have one or two left, and so the Hive Music Festival is the place for me to keep on revealing them! So here comes another one!
The song I want to play for you this week is called “Don’t Turn Away”. It is something I wrote when I was much younger, and I have recently been reminding myself how to play it!
THEME: This is a song about having compassion for our fellow man, and doing your part to make the world a better place. The song basically says that if we all turn away from the problems in the world, then one day it will be too late… which was quite a sobering thing for me to write as a very young man.
The world can be a very harsh and unfair place, and it’s hard to keep caring about all of it without getting burnt out by it all, so a lot of us try to just be numb to all the pain in the world… but with that numbness you lose the good and beauty in the world too, as well as the good feeling of making a difference where you can…
PARTY TRICKS: Again I use my “patented” two-capo trick on guitar which allows for a kind of fake “Drop D” so that I can get more range out of the Dmaj chord! Why does nobody else do this? Don’t other guitarists like to cheat? Hahaha! Same with alternative tunings – there is a lot that we can do to create a more unique sound on an acoustic guitar.
I hope you like the song! Thank you very much for watching! I look forward to seeing your entries and hope to see you again next week!
Before I go: Please look out for my weekly cover request post on Thursday! If you make a song request in the comments, and then I attempt the song, you get rewarded with 50% of that post's rewards in HP!

Lyrics for “Don’t Turn Away” by @jasperdick (original)
There's a storm outside your window
It's been raining for so long
But you don't care as long as you are warm
You say there's nothing wrong...
But outside, it's just getting wetter
And in time, you will close the blinds forever...
Don't turn away...
'Cause there's a new day dawning...
And there's a new world forming in your mind
Where the homeless beggar cries
And she cries just like your mother...
Don't turn away... Don't turn away...
There's a storm outside your window
The thunder of the gun
But you don't care as long as you are safe
You're the only one...
But outside, there's a million people dying
If you could see, maybe you'd stop denying...
Don't turn away...
'Cause there's a new day dawning...
And there's a new world forming in your mind
Where every bullet fired
Is fired right at your brother...
Don't turn away... Don't turn away...
You're an old man now, you finally walk into the rain...
It's too late, it's too late, you realise in pain
It's too late, it's too late
The world changed, the world's changed
It's too late, it's too late...
You turned away...

Hola a todos en HIVE, y especialmente a la comunidad de Music Zone. ¡Mi nombre es Jasper y les escribo (y canto) desde Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica! ¡Bienvenidos a la Semana 19 / Ronda 1 del Hive Music Festival! Hasta ahora solo he hecho canciones originales para el Hive Music Festival, y todavía me quedan una o dos, ¡así que el Hive Music Festival es el lugar para seguir revelándolas! Así que aquí viene otro!
La canción que quiero tocar para ustedes esta semana se llama "Don't Turn Away". Es algo que escribí cuando era mucho más joven, ¡y recientemente me he estado recordando cómo tocarlo!
TEMA: Esta es una canción sobre tener compasión por nuestro prójimo y hacer tu parte para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. La canción básicamente dice que si todos nos alejamos de los problemas del mundo, entonces un día será demasiado tarde... lo cual fue algo bastante aleccionador para mí cuando era muy joven.
El mundo puede ser un lugar muy duro e injusto, y es difícil seguir preocupándose por todo sin quemarse, así que muchos de nosotros tratamos de ser insensibles a todo el dolor del mundo... pero con eso entumecimiento pierdes el bien y la belleza del mundo también, así como la buena sensación de marcar la diferencia donde puedes…
TRUCOS DE FIESTA: Una vez más, uso mi truco de dos cejillas "patentado" en la guitarra que permite una especie de "Drop D" falso para que pueda obtener más rango del acorde Dmaj. ¿Por qué nadie más hace esto? ¿A otros guitarristas no les gusta hacer trampa? ¡Jajaja! Lo mismo ocurre con las afinaciones alternativas: hay muchas cosas que podemos hacer para crear un sonido más exclusivo en una guitarra acústica.
¡Espero que les guste la canción! ¡Muchas gracias por mirar! ¡Espero ver tus entradas y espero verte de nuevo la próxima semana!
Antes de irme: ¡esté atento a mi publicación semanal de solicitud de cobertura el jueves! Si solicita una canción en los comentarios, y luego intento la canción, ¡usted será recompensado con el 50% de las recompensas de esa publicación en HP! La publicación de esta semana (donde puede realizar sus solicitudes) se puede encontrar aquí: https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/gqenjtfx
Letra de "Don't Turn Away" de @jasperdick (original)
Hay una tormenta fuera de tu ventana
Ha estado lloviendo durante tanto tiempo
Pero no te importa mientras estés caliente
Dices que no pasa nada...
Pero afuera, solo se está poniendo más húmedo
Y con el tiempo, cerrarás las persianas para siempre...
no te alejes...
Porque hay un nuevo día amaneciendo...
Y hay un nuevo mundo formándose en tu mente
Donde llora el mendigo sin hogar
Y llora como tu madre...
No te alejes... No te alejes...
Hay una tormenta fuera de tu ventana
El trueno del arma
Pero no te importa mientras estés a salvo
Eres el único...
Pero afuera, hay un millón de personas muriendo
Si pudieras ver, tal vez dejarías de negar...
no te alejes...
Porque hay un nuevo día amaneciendo...
Y hay un nuevo mundo formándose en tu mente
Donde cada bala disparada
Es disparado directamente a tu hermano...
No te alejes... No te alejes...
Ahora eres un anciano, finalmente caminas bajo la lluvia...
Es muy tarde, es muy tarde, te das cuenta en el dolor
Es demasiado tarde, es demasiado tarde
El mundo cambió, el mundo cambió
Es demasiado tarde, es demasiado tarde...
Te diste la vuelta...

A really touching song, I have always thought that if we all had more empathy the world would be different, an excellent message, I loved the sound of the guitar and how dynamic your song has been, thank you for brightening my day with your talent.

Brother, a while ago I commented on one of your presentations and expressed that you were a monster of music. I hold that idea, because you really are!!!! congratulations brother very good music!!!
