Hive Open Mic #156 - A Thousand Years (Christina Perri)

Hasta el extremo

This week's theme, translating to "Till the End", was chosen by @wbrandt and I will be covering not only a new song, but to me a totally new artist, so don't expect any insights here - today I will be skipping my usual artist section.. 😄
Having said that, most of you will know more about her than I do anyhow.. 😉

But in case you don't and cannot get yourself to type "Christina Perri" into your preferred search engine, find some info on Wikipedia.

A Thousand Years

What a beautiful song! I came across it by accident while looking for duets and started learning it on the guitar. I must admit that I have never watched any of the "The Twilight Saga" of which this is supposedly the music running during the credits of part one.
However, I instantly felt totally drawn into it when I first heard it and just wanted to sing it over and over, which is, of course, the best reason to make you learn any song!

This one is about everlasting love, and as the story of this film trilogy is about vampires, this goes beyond "Till the end" or "Till death do us part"; however, to me it still fits perfectly!

Preparing for a Wedding in Summer

This song has already been covered here loads of times and there will possibly be no appetite for my version.

However, in July I will be attending a wedding of a friend who invited his musician friends to perform on the day and this shall be my feature song!
I am therefore very grateful for this week's theme and that I can add this song to my repertoire!

Wrapping It Up

Thank you for giving it a listen! 😃
