The other day, our dear elegant lady with a parasol, @lizelle, posted a Three Tunes Tuesday post where she mentioned the song Beauty and The Beast. You can see her post by clicking on this link. I didn't comment there because I wanted to respond to her post in a different way. Through a challenge-not-challenge called Spread the Vibes.
That was my first impulse after seeing her musical choice in that post, to bring the same song in piano version, the version I played the day after Valentine's Day at Abiss. I got caught by her musical vibes and wanted to do the same: spread the beauty the music (music in general but that song too) offered us. But Miss Time is a beast 😂, seriously! I don't know if you have noticed, but she steals all your moments, the free ones but also the busy ones, and you find yourself on the bus, travelling, and the Spread the Vibes post is still not written/published. Maybe I can change this fact, although writing a post this way promises a lot of typos and spelling mistakes... I hope they will be forgiven and ignored.
What a bumpy road, shaking hands and shaking laptops! 😆
I also hope the length of this post can be forgiven, in the bus I am travelling with there is no plug I could use to charge my laptop while I am writing this. Its battery will have to last until I finish the post and the video is uploaded. If not... then there is no Spread the Vibes post. 😂
Btw, I am going with the choir to Teruel. That is the town where we will have a concert tomorrow, so we will be there from today (when we arrive) to Sunday. I hope to bring you some updates from there if I don't freeze completely down. ❄️
Back to the Beauty and The Beast business. I usually play this song in those gigs that contain soundtracks and romantic ballads, and the dinner in Abiss restaurant was also perfect for that kind of music. I played there last year too for the same occasion, then I took just two or three photos and no recordings. This year, I made some recordings and no photos hahaha, but the place looks exactly the same as last year too.
The melody itself already has the power to enchant us and take us to a fairytale. The pace is calm and slow, although I notice that I have played it a bit quicker than the original should be. The story behind it... I must have read the story as a child, and of course, we have all encountered this story many times, but what can it represent on another level? Maybe breaking away from stereotypes and established norms. Impossible loves, or simply writing a post from a moving bus. 😆
If I manage to upload the video to 3speak from this place, from my seat, you will hear one part of that song that is here to receive and spread some musical vibes, Beauty and The Beast. And in case you want to wake up the challenge with your participation, you can read about the initial idea here. :) 🎶
