    Hello everybody on Hive and especially the Hive Music Community! My name is @jasperdick and I'm writing (and singing) to you from the Garden Route about 5-7 hours’ drive from Cape Town, South Africa!

    This is Week 10 of the “Retro Music” challenge! The aim of the game is to play a cover of anything from the 1920s to the 1990s, anything that would be considered a bit “Retro” in this day and age, which opens up a world of possibilities!

    This week I would like to cover the beautiful song “Catch the Wind”, that invokes themes of unrequited love and free-spirited ladies, released by Scottish (not Irish as I accidentally said in the video) singer-songwriter Donovan in 1965.

    Donovan released all sorts of ethereal, and even psychedelic songs like “Hurdy Gurdy Man”, “Colours”, “Mellow Yellow”, “Atlantis”, “Jennifer Juniper”, and a personal favourite of mine “Riki Tiki Tavi” (inspired by the Jungle Book story by Rudyard Kipling). He was often compared to Bob Dylan at the time.

    Here is the original version of “Catch the Wind”:

    Lyrics for “Catch the Wind” by Donovan

    In the chilly hours and minutes
    Of uncertainty, I want to be
    In the warm hold of your love and mine

    To feel you all around me
    And to take your hand along the sand
    Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

    When sundown pales the sky
    I want to hide a while behind your smile
    And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find

    For me to love you now
    Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing
    Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

    Di di di di, di di di di
    Di di di di, di di di di
    Di di di

    When rain has hung the leaves with tears
    I want you near to kill my fears
    To help me to leave all my blues behind

    For standin' in your heart
    Is where I want to be and long to be
    Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

    Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

    ¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la comunidad musical de Hive! ¡Mi nombre es @jasperdick y les escribo (y canto) desde Garden Route, a unas 5-7 horas en automóvil desde Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica!

    ¡Esta es la semana 10 del desafío "Música retro"! El objetivo del juego es jugar una versión de cualquier cosa, desde la década de 1920 hasta la década de 1990, cualquier cosa que se considere un poco "retro" en esta época, ¡lo que abre un mundo de posibilidades!

    Esta semana me gustaría hacer un cover de la hermosa canción "Catch the Wind", que invoca temas de amor no correspondido y damas de espíritu libre, lanzada por el cantautor escocés (no irlandés como dije accidentalmente en el video) Donovan en 1965.

    Donovan lanzó todo tipo de canciones etéreas e incluso psicodélicas como "Hurdy Gurdy Man", "Colours", "Mellow Yellow", "Atlantis", "Jennifer Juniper" y una de mis favoritas, "Riki Tiki Tavi" (inspirada en el libro de la selva de Rudyard Kipling). A menudo se lo comparaba con Bob Dylan en ese momento.

    Aquí está la versión original de “Catch the Wind”:

    Letra de "Catch the Wind" de Donovan

    En las horas y minutos fríos
    De la incertidumbre, quiero ser
    En el cálido abrazo de tu amor y el mío

    Para sentirte a mi alrededor
    Y llevar tu mano por la arena
    Ah, pero también puedo tratar de atrapar el viento

    Cuando el atardecer palidece el cielo
    Quiero esconderme un rato detrás de tu sonrisa
    Y donde quiera que mirara tus ojos encontraría

    Para que yo te ame ahora
    Sería la cosa más dulce que me haría cantar
    Ah, pero también puedo tratar de atrapar el viento

    di di di di di di di di
    di di di di di di di di
    di di di

    Cuando la lluvia ha colgado las hojas con lágrimas
    Te quiero cerca para matar mis miedos
    Para ayudarme a dejar todo mi blues atrás

    Por estar en tu corazón
    Es donde quiero estar y anhelo estar
    Ah, pero también puedo tratar de atrapar el viento

    Ah, pero también puedo tratar de atrapar el viento
