HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 260 - WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN, ACOUSTIC COVER - ENG - SPA
Hey friends! It’s such a pleasure to be back for Week 260 of Hive Open Mic. Every week feels like catching up with old friends, and I love how this space keeps growing in creativity and heart. Thank you for being part of that—it really means a lot
¡Hola amigos! Es un gusto volver por aquí en la semana 260 del Hive Open Mic. Cada semana se siente como reencontrarse con viejos amigos, y me encanta cómo este espacio sigue creciendo en creatividad y corazón. Gracias por ser parte de esto—de verdad significa mucho.
This week’s theme, “Sudden Changes,” got me thinking about how quickly things in life can shift—relationships, routines, even our sense of self. One moment you feel secure, and in the blink of an eye, everything’s different. Sometimes those changes come with regret, with that quiet ache of wishing you’d done things differently.
El tema de esta semana, “Cambios Súbitos,” me hizo pensar en lo rápido que puede cambiar la vida—las relaciones, las rutinas, incluso nuestro sentido de identidad. Un momento todo parece estable, y al siguiente, todo es distinto. A veces esos cambios vienen acompañados de arrepentimiento, con ese dolor silencioso de desear haber hecho las cosas de otra manera.
That’s why I chose “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars for this week’s performance. It’s such a tender, emotional song that captures the feeling of sudden loss and the weight of hindsight. I kept the arrangement simple—just me and my voice—hoping to let the emotion come through as honestly as possible.
Por eso elegí “When I Was Your Man” de Bruno Mars para mi presentación de esta semana. Es una canción tan tierna y emotiva que capta ese sentimiento de pérdida repentina y el peso del arrepentimiento. Mantuve el arreglo simple—solo mi voz—esperando dejar que la emoción hablara lo más sinceramente posible.
Sudden changes can be tough, but they also teach us. They remind us to hold close what matters and to not take anything for granted. I hope this song resonates with you, wherever you are on your journey.
Los cambios súbitos pueden ser duros, pero también nos enseñan. Nos recuerdan aferrarnos a lo que importa y no dar nada por sentado. Espero que esta canción les llegue al corazón, donde sea que estén en su camino.
Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like, ooh
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers and held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party, 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I'll never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like, ooh
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers and held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party, 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours when he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should've done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should've done
When I was your man
Wow that's amazing
