Killing Me Softly with His Song is a musical theme written by Charles Fox and Norma Gimbel in 1971, it is inspired by the poem Killing Me Softly with His Blues written by Lori Liberman. It has been performed by artists such as Roberta Flack, Perry Como, Shirley Bassey, Lauryn Hill with The Fugees, Alicia Keys, Carly Simon, Toni Braxton, Leah McFall, and Jessie J. I share my interpretation of this blues with the trumpet.

En esta oportunidad les comparto la versión de Roberta Flack, que es una de las primeras letras y versiones del tema. Nos habla del impacto de una canción en nuestras vidas, que mueve nuestros recuerdos y nuestro dolor. Es como si el viento removiera cenizas. Hay canciones con las cuales nos identificamos, porque habla de nuestras vidas, el término matar suavemente con su canción, tiene un aspecto de delirio y despecho. Nos habla de un joven que canta, que impacta con su canto, con su estilo y de como nos identificamos a tal grado de querer ir a verlo y escucharlo. Ella se va al concierto a escucharlo, se sonroja, y siente pena por la multitud, en sus letras parecen una copia de sus cartas, se atreve a rezar para que todo salga bien.

This time I share Roberta Flack's version, which is one of the first lyrics and versions of the song. It tells us about the impact of a song in our lives, that moves our memories and our pain. It is as if the wind stirred ashes. There are songs with which we identify ourselves because it speaks of our lives, the term to kill softly with its song, has an aspect of delirium and spite. He tells us about a young man who sings, who impresses us with his singing, with his style, and how we identify ourselves to the point of wanting to go see him and listen to him. She goes to the concert to listen to him, she blushes, and she feels sorry for the crowd, in her lyrics she seems to be a copy of her letters, she dares to pray that everything goes well.
