Hey Steemians!!

It is the 4th week of the contest and i could not be more exited to show you my entry.
This is the very first time ever that i write a song in English! That is a prove that Songwriters Challenge is really helping us grow!! How cool is that?

I found out the theme this week was "Because we can" and i got exited because those 3 words sounded so empowering in my mind. However, I was unable to write anything because i was too busy so, i figured i would get started when i get home... still, i did not, because i made the mistake of joining the @cervantes Discord chat.. and once you are there you can't get out! Those guys are hilarious , so i stayed until pretty late talking to them and didn't even get started on the song. So again, i figured i would get up early to get started before work.

But guess what happened? I got up at 4 am to go pee and the song started sounding in my mind out of the sudden! so yeah! i wrote it all down that instant. (i knew if i went back to bed i would forget the lyrics so i had to make sure to have it all written somewhere so that i would remember at a decent time to work on it) ...And so.. that's how "Cuz We Can" was born! haha!

Thank you @meno, @luzcypher @verbal-d @passion-ground and everyone else involved with this contest and with open mic. You all already know how much i appreciate all the work you are doing for the music community on Steemit.

Hola Steemians!

Esta es la cuarta semana del concurso y no podría estar mas emocionada de mostrarles mi canción de hoy! Esta es la primer vez en mi vida que logro escribir una canción en Ingles! . Esto sirve de prueba de que el Reto de Composición de canciones realmente nos esta ayudando a crecer como artistas! Que genial!

Me di cuenta de que el tema de esta semana era "Because We can" (Porque Podemos) y me super emocioné pues, encontré esas palabras muy llenas de poder! . Sin embargo, estuve muy ocupada en el trabajo y no tenia el tiempo para comenzar a trabajar en la canción. Así que decidí que cuando llegara a casa seria el mejor momento de hacerlo. Pero, cometí el error de meterme al chat de Discord de @cervantes. Cuando entras allí ya no puedes salir! Esos chicos son super divertidos, así que , me quedé hablando con ellos hasta muy tarde, al punto que ya no podía ponerme a escribir. Por lo tanto, decidí que me levantaría temprano, antes del trabajo, y comenzaría a escribir la canción

Adivines que sucedió :. Me levanté a las 4 am para ir al baño y tenia la canción sonando en mi mente!. Así que claro! La escribí toda en ese mismo instante!. Sabia que si me dormía y esperaba a que fuera una hora decente para comenzar a trabajar en la canción, la olvidaría, así que tenia que asegurarme de escribirla en algún lado, para comenzar a trabajar en ella a una hora normal. Y... así nació "Cuz We Can" jaja!

Gracias @meno, @luzcypher @verbal-d @passion-ground y todas las demás personas involucradas en este concurso y en open mic. Ya todos ustedes saben cuanto aprecio todo el trabajo que están haciendo por la comunidad de músicos en Steemit.

Nos vemos en el próximo post!

Cuz We Can (12/14/2017 at 4 am)

We don't need to be told what to do
Honey, we are not here to follow you
Yeah, it seems like you got it all figured out
But baby, that's not what we are all about

We don't care about the structure of a plan
Mainly because we are here just to have fun
So just forget about all the rules
Live a little .. let loose

We are here to party, we are here to have fun
Just following our hearts because we can!
We don't want to miss out on anything tonight
We are living to the fullest cuz we can!

All those rules and plans, they ain't for us
We will worry about the future when it comes
We are not about to let life pass us by
We are young and free and wild!

We are here to party, we are here to have fun
Just following our hearts because we can!
We don't want to miss out on anything tonight
We are living to the fullest cuz we can!

Tonight is just about us
Tonight we are here to have fun
Tonight we fallow our hearts
We rule the world cuz we can!

We are here to party, we are here to have fun
Just following our hearts because we can!
We don't want to miss out on anything tonight
We are living to the fullest cuz we can!


Porque Podemos ( 14/12/2017 a las 4 am )

No necesitamos que nos digan que hacer.
Cariño, no vinimos a seguirte
Si, sabemos que ya lo tienes todo resuelto
Pero así no somos nosotros

No nos importa la estructura de un plan
Porque vinimos a divertirnos
Solo olvídate de las reglas
Vive un poco, relájate!

Estamos aquí para celebrar, estamos aquí para divertirnos
Seguimos a nuestro corazón porque podemos !
No nos queremos perder de nada esta noche
Vivimos de lleno porque podemos!

Todos esos planes y esas reglas no son para nosotros
Nos preocuparemos por el futuro cuando el futuro este aquí
No vamos a permitir que la vida se nos pase de largo
Somos jóvenes y libres y salvajes!

Estamos aquí para celebrar, estamos aquí para divertirnos
Seguimos a nuestro corazón porque podemos !
No nos queremos perder de nada esta noche
Vivimos de lleno porque podemos!

Esta noches es de nosotros
Esta noche es para divertirnos
Esta noche nos guían nuestros corazones
Esta noche mandamos en el mundo nosotros, porque podemos!

Estamos aquí para celebrar, estamos aquí para divertirnos
Seguimos a nuestro corazón porque podemos !
No nos queremos perder de nada esta noche
Vivimos de lleno porque podemos!

that's dude! that is awesome!

Rebellious punk oriented sounding song and a new hair style, what's not to love?

omg! thanks a lot!! ♥ you are the sweetest

I totally agree! It was like the Sex Pistols right? Someone needs to get Kat an electric guitar and some distortion so she can smash this challenge right back to the 70's! Great job writing in a second language! :D

Uno nunca sabe cuando la inspiracion nos ataca ! lo bueno es poder atraparla en el momento ! tu tema me recuerda un poco al sonido de los 90s .. talvez una onda No Doubt por nombrar lo primero que se me viene a la mente ( que por cierto fue una gran banda ! ) . Te felicito por animarte a cantar en ingles... talvez yo tb me anime pronto jejeje. Un abrazo!

Claro! Haha uno nunca sabe realmente!! para mi es algo que se va a los extremos. Puedo intentar por días escribir algo ... y trato y trato y nada bueno sale. Y otros días así de repente una canción se escribe sola jaja. 🤣

Con esto del inglés se me dificulta mucho.. solo he escrito esta y un rap... pero eso es todo.. y llego AÑOS intentando! Jaja

Deberías tratar! Segundo algo muy bueno té sale... eres muy poético al escribir... Seguro algo lindo te sale.

Amo a No Doubt!! También admiro mucho a Gwen Stefani como solista.

New hair, new life :P
Someone got dumped LMAO I'm sorry

Haha! Yeah new hair new life !! 💅🏽💇🏻‍♀️.... but not really 😄 i wasn’t dating anyone.

Cmon, you don't fool me, you girls always change your hair, when you leave your boyfriends :P

Haha love the story how you got the idea for this song 😆 gotta try that! 😉 Great performance again 👍

Hah! Yeah! It was crazy! Next time i will probably be literally sitting at the toilet! 🤣
Thanks! I appreciate the support! You are the best!

🤣🤣🤣 keep em coming

Nice job for a first English song! I can't imagine writing a song in Spanish; I'm always impressed with bilingual poets. :)

Thank you So much Chris!! I’ve tried in the past.. but it was hard to come up with the right words and also make them rhyme 🤣... but for the very first time it was easy! I am so happy.

Thanks for stopping by! 💕 I appreciate it!

Thank you Sir! It means the world coming from you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I truly apologize it!
