    Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from a coastal town about a 2 hour drive from Cape Town in South Africa!

    This is my 27th week contributing to "Three Tune Tuesday", an initiative started by @ablaze. It is week 92 overall!

    I am trying to stick to a set pattern, where I perform 2 cover songs (written by famous artists) and 1 original song (written by me [or us in this case]) around a theme. This week, the theme is "Coming Home!"

    As I mentioned last week, I have pretty much run out of finished original songs. Now, I have no choice but to reveal a new "work-in-progress" original song, but let's get through the two cover songs first!

    For the first cover song, I am going to think back to the song literally called "Coming Home", that was a big hit when Diddy (What Puff Daddy or Sean Puffy Combes or whatever-else-who-want-to-call-him was calling himself at the time...) and Skylar Grey released it... Here's the original! The lyrics are quite moving:

    For the second cover song I would like to do "Country Roads" (take me home...) by John Denver. This song is such a classic... but would you believe I've never actually learnt it until today?

    It does remind me of that pick-up line:

    Guy: "Country Rooooaaadsss"...
    Girl (Can't help singing along... because who can resist singing along to this song?): "Take me home..."
    Guy: "Well if you insist!"

    Here's the original:

    With the two covers out of the way, it is time for me to finish at least a verse and chorus to match the theme... as I seem to be coming up with a new song where I play the guitar a bit more percussively... Let's call it "Cape Town" for now. It's about coming home to my baby daughter, who keeps growing so fast, if I am away for a couple of days!!

    So that's week 92 done and dusted! Thank you so much for listening!

    Before I go... please look out for my weekly cover request post on Thursdays! 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! It's as simple as that!

    Lyrics for "Cape Town" (So far!) by @jasperdick (original - work-in-progress)

    I’m a little bit tired of being alone here
    It’s just a matter of time before I’m coming home to you
    I’m coming home to you… it will feel so good… to laugh again…

    So I’m going to Cape Town, yeah I’m coming soon
    To see my baby, little lady, little lady...
    We can watch the sun go down, from the beach or the mountain
    Just as long, as my baby’s in my arms…
