Steemit openmic week #70 - PRETTY GORGON (by @tarotbyfergus)
so last week Fergus covered my song 'Lost and Waiting' AMAZINGLY and made me feel super special so I decided to smash one of HIS songs right back at him. Its Pretty Gorgon, his Songwriters Week #1 entry for the theme Broken Mirror. Its basically a love letter to Medusa, which goes to show what a badass @tarotbyfergus is. And here is my rendition of it: (apologies in advance for the slightly inconsistent volume level of my voice, I am really not very good at singing in to a microphone yet!)
And now you should go and check out Fergs original version:

And then PLEASE go and check out his cover of my song 'Lost and Waiting' that he made last week: (this is going in my playlist FOREVER)
Fergus. It has been SO GREAT doing the challenge with you, hearing your awesome songwriting skills week in week out, and becoming your friend. Its good to know you brother! :D
peace and love everybody x

Awesome! Both you and @tarotbyfergus are terrific. I love the Steemit Open Mic idea. This is such a great way to share talent.

Both song are great. Well done @basilmarples. I appriciate.
thankyou very much :) its lovely to be appreciated x @tarotbyfergus is the lyrical mastermind behind the song of course! x
Basil, this was so over-the-top awesome, dude! I'm certain Tarot will be thrilled with your rendition of his composition! I Loved It!
thanks PG! Its been a really fun way to do my first cover on openmic.....I might have to cover some more Steemy songwriters..... ;)
both of you guys are great! it's so much fun watching you do each other material ;9)
thanks dude! I know, I think @luzcypher might be brewing a whole new challenge based on this concept.....
That was awesome. It's so cool to see how different this song is when filtered through two distinct personalities.
I know right!? Someone else should give it a go (nudge nudge)!!! We could start a Musical Wave!!!! (potential name for a challenge @luzcypher?)
Love x 1000!
It is truly awesome to hear one of our own songs through the filter of another person.
You are such a great singer and I'm so happy you played this song.
I might end up covering your cover of my song! LOL
May 2011 and 2018 bring you the joy you bring to others, Basil.
YAY! Im so glad you like it bro :) It was SO much fun to play, I reckon If I can just get the bloody lyrics in my head, it might become part of my repertoire :D Seriously, its a really great song and I thoroughly enjoyed putting my own little twist on it!
Massive love dude x
I smile every time you yell:D:D:D
I've listened to this around 20 times already:)
I love the way you sing 'next to me' and the way you do the honey badger line!
hooray! Im glad you are listening to it so much! That means you must be feeling the same as I have with your version of 'Lost and Waiting'....Ive literally been playing that song to everyone I know, you made me so proud! :)
In case anyone didn't get the honey badger reference...
