Open Mic Week 39 'Damaged Goods' Original Song with Harmonica (Bathroom Sessions)
Okay, so here's another bleeding heart from my bathroom, and it's over 7 minutes long so don't start listening unless you've got time! Because it builds from slow fingerpicking to rhythmic strumming with a harmonica solo at the end. And yes headphones or speakers are essential. :)
I wrote this some time after breaking up with my daughter's mum, at the climax of the heartbreak.. I went away to a nearby rural area so I could properly express myself and let it all out and this song was the fruit that was produced. It is a hard song to play so this recording is far from perfect, but I felt like finally sharing it and hopefully someone out there will appreciate it.
Thanks!

Great song!
Thanks, you guys are amazing...
Not as amazing as you.
Nice to listen to an original song ! I just posted my first original tune on my page. Feel free to check it !
Hey man, thanks, will definitely listen to that tomorrow in a cafe because I don't have the bandwidth at home. Glad you're getting your music out there too. =)
No problem^^. Thanks and keep going ! :)
Shit clinton, you're crushing it man! Wow. And I only mentioned Steemit to you about 3 weeks ago! Keep it up dude. gonna be at shoulder real soon playing, so hope we get to jam together too.
Yo Dylan! Haha I know man, I'm really glad you did, it's an amazing platform.. You should be putting your music on here too, art is well promoted on here I have found!! Definitely see you soon, take it easy.
that was wonderful! beautiful playing and singing wonderful song
Thank you so much, your voice is gorgeous, looking forward to hearing all your future endeavours!
Ah yea, you again! This was a nice find. What an epic (7 min) song haha.
Seriously though, it really went places. Nice thematic material that you built upon.
Sick vocals quality too. Bathroom verb helps haha. I think it's more the little bit of grit u through in every now and again that catches my attention. Especially bc you sing kind a clean even though you seem to have that underlying rasp/breathiness
hello clint , nice works , wish you luck , if you like ,check my blog too.
Hey mate, I saw your comment on my youtube channel, hadn't got around to emailing you yet, but thanks for showing an interest! Good to see you on Steemit, following you. :)
Hey @clintjunior I am impressed with your results on steemit compared to youtube. How do you look towards this subject? YouTube used to be a great platform for artists, but perhaps steemit is the future?
Hey @vipete , well I literally created the youtube channel just to upload my videos to Steemit, I never put any of my music on the internet until now. But I think you might be right. I can see it being a new platform for musicians to get themselves out there, it's definitely a lot more rewarding!
You got my votes and I will be following you my friend! Keep the good stuff coming and good things will flow back to you.
I truly love how this economics work. You put out your skills and you instantly get rewarded. No corporations, no middle men, just you, your skills and your public. It is a complete new paradigm !
And completely self regulated, the way it should be. Steem provides.
I love it too!
Another classic song from you, my friend. You should be out there knocking the plastics out of the UK Top 40 charts. I wish I had a car, I'd love to do Steemit's first collaboration haha.
Cheers Calum, I'll check out your latest ones tomorrow, got a shortage of bandwidth at the house I'm living in so I have to listen in cafes haha. But yeah a collab would be awesome, who needs a car! Where ya from again?
Ah yeah, no worries. Currently I'm deservedly just underneath you in "trending" - what an honour ;)
I'm from Newcastle but live in Norwich.
Haha it's so funny when the whale votes come along aint it, suddenly you're a hit! Do you know about Curie? It took me a while to work out what was happening, then I found that curation group called curie. It's amazing though aint it, encourages you to keep going that's for sure..
Well I like travelling around so I'm sure it'll happen dude! I'll be cycling down South in July for a festival in Brighton. Called Bimble Bandada.
No I've heard nothing about Curie. It's certainly insane when the reward randomly spikes up.
Just Googled that festival - looks wacky haha
Oooh, sensitive folksinger-songwriter stuff, I love it. (No sarcasm, dude, at all.)
No chance whatsoever of calling this country...
I really like your voicing the chords so high up the neck, it sounds really chimey in those bathroom acoustics.
Check out @primatives-usa when I get Jesse worked around to posting stuff here on Steemit.
Oooh, sensitive folksinger-songwriter stuff, I love it. Hahaha this made me laugh xD Thank you for the feedback though, I believe you that it wasn't sarcastic!
I love dark comedy, tragedy, depressing stuff everywhere, but it seems that many people have let the dark and vicious stuff get to them in such a way they can no longer appreciate the soft,sensitive,or even positive side of things- so I like (no, make that LOVE) Lewis Black on a rant as much I still love Sheila Chandra or Peter Gabriel grooving, or Wasis Dyap chanting...
I like George Carlin myself, he really makes me feel better about the absurdity of everything. Thank you so much for resteeming dude..
Following them, will keep my eye out for em.
Whoa. 10/10 dude. Speechless.
Thanks buddy, for the resteem, the vote in the open mic, and the comment! Following you back too. Your life looks so interesting, and so does the weather in Utah! It's done nothing but rain here for the last week so I'm jealous.... Haha, nice to meet you man.
thanks Clint, Nice to meet you too!
I always used to play in my bathroom too. Love the natural reverb you get in there. Sounds good and thanks for playing once again for Steemit Open Mic and wow, look at the earnings on this post. I guess we likes it. Congrats!
