ThreeTuneTuesday || Rock Is Still at Home [ESP-ENG] by @edwardstobia

Hola amigos || Hello friends
Hoy mientras hacía algunas diligencias del trabajo me topé con unos jóvenes que bueno, pude verme en ellos. Con decirles que empecé a darle la razón a mi madre cuando me decía que había perdido el sentido de vestirse bien ja ja ja… Unos chicos con sus pantalones anchos, con sus puyas en las pulseras, uno de ellos cantaba mientras los otros lo seguían. O sea, de verdad envidiaba verlos tan alegres por las calles de la ciudad pues añoro con ansias poder ser joven y sin responsabilidad más allá de mis estudios y ayudar en casa.
Today, while I was running some errands for work, I ran into some young people who well I could see myself in them. Suffice it to say, I started to agree with my mom when she told me I’d lost my sense of how to dress well, ha ha ha… A group of kids in baggy pants, with studs on their bracelets; one of them was singing while the others joined in. I mean, I was genuinely envious seeing them so happy on the city streets, because I long to be young again, with no responsibilities beyond my studies and helping out at home.

Entonces era inevitable subirme al carro, buscar esa carpeta de música de mi adolescencia y cantar a todo pulmón, sin importar quedarme sin garganta ja ja ja… Y así fue, aunque gracias a Dios no perdí la voz pues la verdad es que perdí esa técnica gutural que ayuda a colocar la voz extremadamente rasgada, grave y profunda que parece salir directamente desde el fondo de la garganta o el estómago. Bajé los vidrios del carro y a todo volumen me dirigía al trabajo tal como si fuera un chamo de 20 años dispuesto a comerme el mundo, sin importar que nos encontraremos en el camino.
So it was inevitable that I’d get in the car, dig out that music folder from my teenage years, and sing at the top of my lungs, even if it meant losing my voice, ha ha ha… And that’s exactly what happened, though thank God I didn’t lose my voice the truth is, I lost that guttural technique that helps produce that extremely raspy, low, deep voice that seems to come straight from the back of the throat or the stomach. I rolled down the car windows and drove to work with the music blaring, just like a 20-year-old kid ready to take on the world, no matter what we might encounter along the way.


Y es que así es la vida, cuando somos jóvenes no estamos viendo el mundo completo pues son nuestros padres quienes se esfuerzan todas las mañanas para poner el plato en la mesa, para que no me faltara mis zapatos o los útiles para estudiar. Y esa parte del mundo como jóvenes lo ignoramos. Creemos que todo es sencillo y hacíamos caso omiso a las palabras de nuestros padres y en ocasiones hasta lográbamos decirles ¨No tienes la razón¨ ja ja ja. La rebeldía a millón y la correas sonando para dar aviso de que se aproxima ja ja ja…
That’s just how life is when we’re young, we don’t see the whole picture, because it’s our parents who work hard every morning to put food on the table, to make sure I have the shoes and school supplies I need. And as young people, we ignore that part of the world. We think everything is simple, and we ignore our parents’ words and sometimes we even manage to tell them, “You’re wrong,” ha ha ha. Rebellion galore, and the sound of belts clacking to warn that trouble is coming, ha ha ha…


Pero bueno, ya basta de mí. La verdad es que esos muchachos me hicieron este TTT de este martes fenomenal que he tenido tanto musicalmente, como emotivo y sentimental pues hasta recordar todas esas peleas con mi mamá me hizo llorar y entender aún más todo lo que ella hacía por mí y mi hermana. Pero bueno, vamos con música. Por supuesto que vamos a escuchar ROCK y como le decía a mi mamá, DEL BUENO… quiero compartir justamente esas canciones que escuché mientras me sentía de 20 años e iba a mi trabajo. De seguro, para aquellos nacidos en los 90 y amantes del rock, estas canciones les removerá todo el piso hasta caerse la cedula ja ja ja… ¡Vamos hermanos!! El rock está en la casa…
But anyway, enough about me. The truth is, those guys put together this TTT for me this Tuesday has been phenomenal, both musically and emotionally, because even remembering all those fights with my mom made me cry and helped me understand even more everything she did for me and my sister. But anyway, let’s get to the music. Of course we’re going to listen to ROCK and as I used to tell my mom, THE GOOD KIND… I want to share exactly those songs I listened to when I felt like I was 20 and was on my way to work. I’m sure that for those of you born in the ’90s who love rock, these songs will blow your minds haha… Let’s go, brothers and sisters!! Rock is in the house…

As always, I really enjoyed participating in this initiative by my friend @ablaze. Thanks for reading. I love #ThreeTuneTuesday, so I’ll keep sharing this wonderful art with all of you.

A bordo de la nave
me despido, mi querida familia.
❤LOS QUIERO❤

nostalgic songs that take you back to the old days
Thanks for the sharing
That's right, my friend. Moments of nostalgia that undoubtedly bring us so much joy and memories we'll always carry with us. Long live rock!
What a great story, @edwardstobia! There is nothing like seeing today's youth to revive those rock-and-roll teenage years in the car.
A better way would be to be 20 again 😄
Sometimes, teens wear different kinds of style as part of their Passion. If others were very attracted with the clothes they wore they also want to dress just as like the one they saw. 😄
That is also my personal experienced.
