Hive Music Festival///Week 23, Round-2// SAX Cover of Fernando by ABBA GOLD// @wizj

I am @wizj

Its a new and amazing week on our festival; indeed, the week shows great potentials. O yea! For this week, I shall make an entry with ABBA titled "FERNANDO".

This song was released in 1976 😎
Guess where I was then? Hmmmm, not sure I was born yet. Imagine the long line of the song till now, it still has good melody to the ear and pleasing while listening.

I had a drift to making ABBA for this week seeing from @yisusth's presenting DANCING QUEEN. I was moved while listening to his trumpet. You see, one beautiful and inspiring thing about Hive is getting moved positively and inspired beyond imaginations.

This is clear, which is why I've decided to drop this piece for this week.

Dont mind the flaws you may notice on the song. I've issues with my #SAXOPHONE and am doing everything positively right to get a brand new SAX that suits my level. For now, please, bear with me 🙏.

We shall get there soon.

The song #FERNANDO has in itself a message which of course, echoes a friendly affections. Recalling how beautiful young lovers were until growing grey.

Being with love grants liberty. For lovers, something remarkable must always show either from past or present though the future cannot really be clear to say.

Even the slightest of future predictions doesn't really tell what will be. Yes! I can tell that, it is good to prepare always and not leaving out past memories that may inform the best of the future.

Out past is a tool to a greater purpose. So, it is about love or lovers, friendship and alive memories💪

Thank you for always visiting my blog, see you another time.

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight, Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now, Fernando
Every hour, every minute, seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid, Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey, Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
