Hive Open Mic #153 - Head Over Feet (Alanis Morissette)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


The Theme

This week's theme Tú Estás Conmigo current Hive Open Mic theme translates to "You are with me" and is one of those themes that leaves a little room for exploring; I have already seen some different angles published.

The Song

I had a few contenders for this week, but settled for beautiful Alanis on this occasion, because I feel that the lyrics fit the theme perfectly.
It is all about the admiration of someone who appears to do all the right things to win you over and easily succeeds in that undertaking.

I have always loved this song, just like many others of hers, but I tend to struggle to remember her lyrics, and reading song sheets is not something I like to do. I rather trip over and laugh it off.. 😄
I just about made it through this recording without hiccups.. haha

My Version

I've played this song a long while ago, although without the harmonica as I could never work out her "Dylan-style" of playing.. Sometimes it's easier to play the melody than trying to copy some random notes.
However, Alanis needs the harp added so I gave it another shot, and find that this time I figured something out that sort of resembles what she is doing on the original version.

Final Words

I've put the recording together with Kdenlive which @steevc mentioned in one of his drumming posts; early days, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

I hope you like my version of this great song, which shall be firmly added to my songbook, as it should have been ages ago!

Thanks for watching!

Amiga @anna-newkey, hermosa interpretación. Me gusta mucho su voz, su forma de tocar la guitarra, y la parte donde hace el interludio tocando la armónica es magistral. Gracias por compartir su arte con nosotros. Dios la bendiga.

You definitely look good with Alanis songs. I vibrate with emotion when I listen to you. I admire very much those who sing and play the guitar, especially when they do it with as much passion as you do. Music runs through your veins and you know how to transmit it, bravo, God bless and multiply your talent even more...

I can't believe it, you sang, you played the harmonica and you played the guitar, you really are amazing, my friend.
Your voice has a very unique tessitura, that stamp of Anne🥰, well I think you know how amazing you are😻.
I don't know about you, but it seems to us that Alannis and Shakira had the same look those years, don't you think? The hair, the outfit and even the music, who would have been inspired🤔. The truth is that one of them is billing quite a lot right now hahahaha.
Hugs my friend 🌹🥰💙

Haha, you're right!
I just had a look! I wish I had hair like them or like yours.. 😉
Alas, I'm not that lucky.
I'm so glad you like this, it's a beautiful tune and I hope, I've done it justice!
Thank you both!
Sending you hugs from Cambridgeshire.. 😀

very good interpretation, I love alanis, she is one of my favorite songs, the simple style she had of writing is beautiful, I think to this day I'm still trying to get "ironic" but it's just too much to memorize haha, it has been a complete pleasure to listen to you, best regards.

I play "Ironic" too, the lyrics are fine, but I need to work out the guitar picking.
I struggle with "Hand in my Pocket", it doesn't make sense somehow.. lol
I hope to hear you play some of hers sometime..
Glad you like this, that's brilliant!
Thank you!

I understand what you say, I also have some difficulty with my right hand with their songs, no doubt they have their complexity hahaha maybe someday I will dare, when I no longer have to read all the lyrics haha, tuning the ear and pronunciation is complicated but while I can listen to me with some of those that if I get better hahaha
