COVER Request Contest Week 17! - Winner (50% post HP): @nahupuku!

Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from South Africa!

I am into the 17th week of this challenging series of posts I have set myself for Thursdays! BUT I Need your Help to keep going please!

This is the challenge I'm setting myself every Thursday: I ask for cover song requests on the MUSIC community (make a comment on this post to take part by suggesting a song for me to try), and then I pick a favourite song to learn and post a live video of me attempting it. The person who asked for the winning song then gets 50% of the post rewards in HP! (If I pick a second song, that person gets 20% of the post rewards in HP as well!) It's as simple as that! (Well for everyone but me who then has to learn to sing and play new songs! Haha!)

This week's winner is @nahupuku from Venezuela. I think many of you will know him as the owner of the Pukumundo Community (https://ecency.com/created/hive-142415), which is dedicated to rock and metal culture around the globe! The Pukumundo also hosts an initiative called "The Singing Voice" or "La Voz Cantante" where accounts like mine can submit rock/metal/punk covers! This is excellent as it means I have 5 weekly reasons to pick up my guitar (or ukelele, etc...) and post on HIVE, namely:

• Hive Open Mic
• Three Tune Tuesday
• Hive Music Festival
• This intitiative (my own Cover Request Contest)
• The Singing Voice on Pukumundo

So, I'm really grateful for the opportunities, and I'm glad I get to sing a song for @nahupuku today! To my surprise, instead of asking for rock or metal, he has asked from a classic crooner: "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley. Here is the original:

What an absolute classic! Well done @nahupuku! You get 50% of this post reward in HP!

So now, for everybody else reading this, please take part! All you have to do is make a comment on this post with a suggestion for a cover song that you would like me to attempt next week. Give it a shot!!

Lyrics for "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
