This is such a good song Bas!! Singing along in Devon. And the final note makes it :) I hope you get some appreciation in the songwriters competition xx
thanks alice! SO COOL to see you here! Do you think you might have a go at the openmic sometime?
MAYBE YES! :D
Love the falsetto dude - this seems like you need a gospel church choir accompanying - has a nice church-y feel to it (which I mean positively in the music context). Love ya dude - Carl
thanks Carl. I did actually think that when I was writing it.... the 'lost and found' theme easily lends itself to the 'sheep looking for a shepherd' kind of thing which I tried to avoid by setting the whole thing in an ocean! (I guess Ive been watching too much Blue Planet!) but yeah, I think its got room for some harmonies in that chorus line....and the verses could definitely be crowd sung!
You've got some great control over those falsetto notes , it just works so nicely ! The last piano note made me laugh haha you rock man , I look forward to your next entries :).
yeah... I don't know where that last note came from, I had no plan to end it on such a dramatic note! haha..... things just happen sometimes. Im glad it tickled you :P
This is sooo good, Basil!
I was singing along by the end, and loved the twist about the drowning guy :)
I would buy your album!
Maybe you'll perform at Steemfest next year? :)
hooray! If you're singing along thats GOT to be good right? hehe!
Thanks for your lovely support, it means a lot to me that you are enjoying it.... Ive never really performed music in a formal way, I think Id be quite scared actually (even though Im supposed to be an actor!)
Ah, then I'll be your backing vocals, so you're not alone and it's less scary. (I will just pretend, though, because I don't know if I can actually sing.) But I've been singing your song in my head all night since I watched it. It's an earworm!!!
sounds like we've got a BAND starting! With lipsync backing vocals and everything! awesome!
Glad the songs sticking, I hope you're not getting too sick of it in your head! haha I had the same thing with @muphy's song in the first round, I just love the tune. Been humming it for days....
I'm lost in that "Lohooost"... so catchy - don't want to be found. lol
(the truth is I don't want to be found either, don't tell anyone!) x
Snow, yay! Nice timing for a song that brings to mind a snowflake, floating, waiting to be found. I'm thinking you just knocked out a snowball homerun here. Loving these high notes you're hitting, along with the lines. Truly beautiful. And the "drowning" incident surprised me big time, except that it's YOU writing this song. Perfect touch of you. Awesome artistry all-around. I'm upping and resteeming the magic.
haha, I had to throw in at least ONE little glimpse of the true me! haha. I just can't help myself.....
REALLY glad you're feeling the magic here Cabe, its so great getting such lovely support here on steemit! I feel blessed :) x
Great entry, Basil... You're amazing, brother!
thankyou dude, that means a lot coming from a legend such as yourself! x
I'm surprised you are getting snow before us, we only had a little sprinkle so far! Best of luck in the comp, you sing great!
Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise over here as well.... for me anyway, I never check the weather! It definitely brought some festive cheer to my morning, but as usual its barely settled at all... we hardly ever get PROPER snow :(
really good song & strong lyrics
thanks man :)
Oh my goodness! You sing? 😂
Congratulations! 😋👏👏👏
hell yeah, Im an all singing, all dancing cosmic meerkat from the bubblegum planet who came to the steemiverse after a mystical dream that showed me my destiny to found the hippopotamus tree and crown myself king....! You will see and hear MANY strange things, do not be alarmed! x :)
