Don't Let Me Win
For anyone and everyone who has ever had a hard time expressing their emotions and/or understanding themselves, I wrote this song for you. It's one of my personal favorites - so simple, but holds a lot of meaning.
"Don't Let Me Win" is the first track on my EP - "Running From Myself". Both the title of the track and EP pretty much sum up the state of mind I was in while writing this, and the other 4 tracks. "Don't Let Me Win" came from a place of raw honesty, self-awareness and heavy emotion.
Running from a ghost
Looking back, there's no one there
Running from myself
Everyday, no one else
I see your patience
I feel your love and grace
It's all around me
Below and up above
I wanna tell you I need you
Show you just how I feel
But I'm gonna fight it like crazy
Please don't let me win
Don't let me win
Clouds keep rolling in
So hard to make a change
Easier to stay in that same familiar place
Even though it's not right
You know it's not right
You know it's not right
I wanna tell you I need you
Show you just how I feel
But I'm gonna fight it like crazy
Please don't let me win
Don't let me win

absolutely stunning. I love the mix the drums sound fantastic. I see in the comments about the production and much kudos here this sounds spot on. I enjoy the vocal levels and mix of the background. You have such a soulful classic southern grace voice that is so strong. Great songwriting as well, very good lyrics. Loved it top to bottom. Happy to see you posting on DSound, and I def hope to get a single like this from you for one of the steemit music volume compilations. huge huge ups to you
Thanks girl! I always appreciate your comments.. glad you enjoyed this one especially. The production of this song (and the ep) was a learning experience for me, wish I had the budget to do the entire thing in the studio, but drums needed it- I agree, they came out great! My friend Jake brought over his magic gadgets and captured my vocals at home, which was awesome and really helped me stay in my “zone”.
I will gladly contribute to the next compilation 😊
keep these coming my friend sincerely beautiful work. These are quality lay downs and solid pieces of musical work
Great song ! , I love this genre , you did it great , where did you recorded it? great mix
Hey thank you! Vocals for this track were recorded in my home, drums/percussion were in a studio, and all the rest was in my friends home studio set up.
Glad you like✌🏼
that's so perfect :) I believe in home studios, also your vocal is great.
I wish I had a home studio 24/7! My friend/sound engineer was kind enough to bring over recording equipment to my place, and luckily the acoustics worked out great
Thank you ✌🏼
Are you going to post a video of a performance sometime?
Hey there, yes I have quite a few video posts on my blog. Most are #openmic entries. Feel free to check them out ✌🏼
Very nice!

LOVED this mix! The sounds is great, the beat is great, and the tune and lyrics and voice quality are all a perfect match. This is a good song. I'll have to check out your others. And following.
So glad to get such good feedback from a new listener! Thank you, hope you like the others I post as well ✌🏼
