Hive Open Mic #156 - A Thousand Years (Christina Perri)
Hasta el extremo
This week's theme, translating to "Till the End", was chosen by @wbrandt and I will be covering not only a new song, but to me a totally new artist, so don't expect any insights here - today I will be skipping my usual artist section.. 😄
Having said that, most of you will know more about her than I do anyhow.. 😉
But in case you don't and cannot get yourself to type "Christina Perri" into your preferred search engine, find some info on Wikipedia.
A Thousand Years
What a beautiful song! I came across it by accident while looking for duets and started learning it on the guitar. I must admit that I have never watched any of the "The Twilight Saga" of which this is supposedly the music running during the credits of part one.
However, I instantly felt totally drawn into it when I first heard it and just wanted to sing it over and over, which is, of course, the best reason to make you learn any song!
This one is about everlasting love, and as the story of this film trilogy is about vampires, this goes beyond "Till the end" or "Till death do us part"; however, to me it still fits perfectly!
Preparing for a Wedding in Summer
This song has already been covered here loads of times and there will possibly be no appetite for my version.
However, in July I will be attending a wedding of a friend who invited his musician friends to perform on the day and this shall be my feature song!
I am therefore very grateful for this week's theme and that I can add this song to my repertoire!
Wrapping It Up
Thank you for giving it a listen! 😃
Thanks for looking!

Anna I love your tone in this song and finger picking on the guitar was magical💜
😊😊😊 You make me blush... haha
Thank you, my dear friend! 🙏
Wow!, the song from the Twilight Saga. My favourite is Alice! Your version was wonderful! I really loved it!
Lovely playing and singing both.
One of my favourites, and you've done it justice..
Thank you! 😊
Aww Anke this is so beautiful...you've done justice to one of my all time favourite songs. Love how you sound when trying to emote, so smooth and subtle. I love your cover of this song. You're a phenomenal performer and I totally enjoyed watching this. 💕
Hey, thank you, Sammy!
One of your favourites? Cool!
I must admit I've never seen the films, but this song is quite something.. 😍
It warms my heart that you like this version.. 💕
I see the key to your excellent performances here when you present any musical video. It is in the level of devotion you give you give practicing songs and indeed they always come out very fine.
This is beautiful. The play and everything attached to this post is just wonderful. You rock!!
Thank you, Victor!
That's interesting that that comes across; I don't actually do it on purpose, but I guess I'm just "in the song". It's nice if that adds to it and that you like it, my friend!
That makes me very happy! 😍
You are welcome the Keys lady, 🥰
😊😄
This is a slightly different song for you, but you do it so well. Haven't you and @steve-o2023 done it together? Your solo version has it's own atmosphere.

You're right, this one is very popular around the world indeed, and it's fairly easy to see why.. It's simply beautiful; I'm not sure I do it justice, but it's fairly new and just needs polishing around the edges.. 😉
So nice of you to stop by!

Thank you! That's so very kind of you to say!
I'm trying to catch up with your expertise.. 😄
Thank you for stopping by!
I so much love this song and have been listening to it for some while now. I love the strumming technic specially the pianissimo and fortissimo effects..
Great job @anna-newkey
Thank you so much!
It sure is a beautiful song.
I'm glad you like my playing, "volume control" on the guitar is new to me, so it's nice to know it works. 😄
