Playa Greysmar, Vargas, Venezuela - 23 Junio 2024


Hello, Hivers and music lovers!

It's still Tuesday on my side of the world, the day of the week that in Hive means a day to discover songs or listen to old hits thanks to the #ThreeTuneTuesday initiated by @ablaze.

Today for a change I have decided that my recommendation for this #ttt is a single song but in different versions.

Over the weekend I went to the beach. Yesterday was a holiday here so it was a long weekend and on Sunday I went to the beach with some friends. The beach was quite crowded because of the long weekend, so I didn't take any pictures except for the one above in this post which I took late in the afternoon while we were packing up. Although the day was not particularly sunny, just being near the sea was wonderful and I recharged my energy.

So the sea is this week's inspiration for my #ttt post. The song I have for today is by the French composer Charles Trenet, and it was released in 1946, La Mer. The composer said he wrote it while traveling by train in the south of France (source). Over the years, the song has become a classic and if you have never heard the French version, you will surely have heard the English version, Beyond the Sea.

This song has been covered hundreds of times, I will share some of my favorites.

But before I get into the tunes, let me give you a little background for those of you who aren't familiar with #threetunetuesday. In the words of @ablaze:

The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #ttt or #threetunetuesday tags that would be great. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

You can find out more at ablaze's post with his recommendations for this week the #161.

And without further ado, let's go with the tunes.

Tune 1 - Robbie Williams - Beyond The Sea

The English version of this song was very popular in the late 50s performed by the American singer Bobby Darin.

But the version I share is more recent. It is by the British singer Robbie Williams and is included in the soundtrack of the movie Finding Nemo. You have probably heard this one.

Tune 2 - Miguel Bosé - La Mer

This Miguel Bosé cover of La Mer has enchanted me since I first heard it years ago. The song is included in one of his albums from the late 90s, 11 Maneras de Ponerse un Sombrero.

Tune 3 - Tatiana Eva-Marie & Avalon Jazz Band - La Mer

I discovered this singer some time ago while writing a post for #ttt since she has a cover I liked of the bolero Bésame Mucho, and I wrote about it in One song, three covers for Three Tune Tuesday.

The interpretation of La Mer by Tatiana Eva-Marie and the Avalon Jazz Band is beautiful.

Bonus tune - Charles Trenet - La Mer

And of course, I could not fail to include the original version performed by the composer of the song Charles Trenet.

What version do you like the most? Tell me in the comments.

Thank you very much for reading!

Aww Miguel Bosé in his best times!! At that time it didn't matter what he did, the choir screams in the background were always with every blink of him. 🤣🤣 He had a beautiful voice, it's a pity that now he can barely sing anything.

Hehe, it's true Miguel Bose at that time was forgiven for anything LOL He was magnificent. It's a shame he can't sing anymore but he will always be el Amante Bandido.

Si no has visto este vídeo, no te lo pierdas. Es de un programa que se hizo el año pasado aquí en España y en el que Miguel era uno de los miembros del jurado. En el último programa se atrevió a cantar. No pude contener las lágrimas.

If you haven't seen this video, don't miss it. It is from a program that was done last year here in Spain and in which Miguel was one of the members of the jury. In the last program he dared to sing. I couldn't hold back my tears.

Wow! No había visto ese video antes. Es tan triste que ya no pueda cantar. Esa canción es mi favorita de siempre de Miguel Bosé y lloré viéndolo y que valiente por su parte atreverse a cantar. Gracias por compartirlo!

How curious, in this area of ​​the world we have also had a long weekend, in fact, two long weekends in a row

Without a doubt, a good option is a visit to the sea, it's good that you visited the beach in the company of your friends.

I love this song, and if there are many versions of it, I like the ones you have chosen, and the version that I like the most is the one by Miguel Bosé

Have a beautiful day dear friend @coquicoin

I love the sea, the songs are all very nice but I liked the one by Miguel Bosé and the last one by Charles Trenet the latter sings so softly. You chose very nice interpretations of the same theme...El Mar. Thank you for sharing.
Regards friend.🥰🤗❤️❤️
