Hello, music lovers and friends of HIVE. It's Tuesday and it's time for Three Tune Tuesday.
This week, my 18 year old nephew turned five months dead and although life after his death has not been easy, I have managed to find a lot of comfort in some songs. Many of these songs, with their lyrics, make me cry, but they also make me understand that death is part of life.
We are never prepared for the death of a loved one and if that loved one is a young person, death is doubly cruel, painful and disconcerting. Death would have to have an order, a series of requirements to be present: one of those requirements would be that we have lived long enough to embrace death as one who arrives at the last place he has yet to visit. By this I mean that young people and children should never die.
But God's designs are inexplicable and while we try to understand them, let's listen to three songs that will help us remember our loved ones and honor them with our thoughts.
The first song is the famous Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. We all know the sad story behind this famous song. With this piece of music I reflect on whether we will really meet our departed loved ones again. If, even for a moment, in a dream, we could meet our loved one, what would that meeting be like.
The second song I want to share with you is Tracy Chapman's The Promise. This song touches me very much because the lyrics of the song speak not of the one who stays, but of the one who leaves. Let's imagine that promise that if we remember our loved ones, they will always find their way back. If we remember him, if we talk about him, if we call him, our loved one will return, even if it is in the breeze, in music, in the form of a bird. I am encouraged to think that with thought, we can bring someone back and thus never say goodbye to them.
And the third and last piece of music I want to share with you today is a song by the band Kansas “Dust in the wind”. This song repeats in my memory like an echo: “All we are is dust in the wind”, it repeats in the chorus like a great truth. “From dust you came and to dust you shall return,” says the bible and it is the only certainty we have at birth. This is a song that reminds us that our walk will be brief in this world, that we have our time counted, that the great clock of God has an established hour for each one of us.
There is a poem by Blanca Valera entitled Morir cada día un poco más (Dying a little more each day) and it speaks precisely of how each day we die, imperceptibly, as with each act, we are on our way to the final moment. And when we see the death of a loved one, that journey becomes faster, but if we accompany it with music, the weight of death is lighter, more bearable.

Son hermosas estas canciones, amiga. Y, sí, la música es un buen refugio cuando la penas ahogan el alma, en muchas canciones conseguimos alivio.
Para mí, cada día es una pequeña vida que hay que vivir plenamente... Buscaré el poema que mencionas. Te mando un abrazo con todo mi cariño 🫂
Te acuerdas cuánto nos gustaba la música y aquel concurso que tenías en Discord? Nos divertimos tanto!! Creo que hay canciones que nunca pasan de moda y que también hay etapas que requieren y se viven con cierto tipo de música. Un abrazote grande, que llegue a Bogotá!
