Open Mic Songwriters Challenge Week 1 entry - Broken Mirror

in #openmic7 years ago (edited)

I don't see
What you see
in the mirror
I don't know
how you feel
but I see
something else
when I look at you

what you see
when you look
in the mirror
it's not real
it's not true
it's nothing like
what I see
when I look at you

Even when the words don't come out right
The way you think is beautiful
Even when the world just doesn't get you
The way you are is beautiful
And even if you think that the mirror says you're perfect
you're not,
but you're beautiful to me
yeah you beautiful to me

there are no mirrors
that tell you the truth
they're all broken
reflections distorted
they twist your shape
they bend and they break
make you feel like dying
but these broken mirrors are lying




High five to @meno! And A BIG THANKYOU to the organizers, sponsors and all fellow participants of the Steemit Songwriters Challenge! May be songs be awesome and the Re-Steems many! This video has been made possible with the fantastic support of @bettyboob and the @allinthefamily family, as well as a flash appearance of @lotje. No animals were hurt during the production of this video.

Nice one! You've created a great song, and it just feels right that you two sing it together here.

I loved every second of it guys! I can imagine a whole production for this song... this is a hit!!! hahahaha thank you for participating!!

That is way too kind, but I will try to keep improving for the coming 8 weeks.

hey! really good guys! this the first song i hear. from this topic that inspired a "happy" song lol!
i really liked the message!.. the melody and harmonies.. you two sound really great together!!

also found it very funny when the kid walked by holding the banner lol!

How long did it take you to come up with this song? i am not very good at working under pressure.. not with music anyways.. i was able to pull it off for this week, but i am not sure i will be able to for all the other themes, lol! We'll see how it goes.

upvoting you ;) i specially dig the fact that you are the first ones with a happy song from all of the other songs participating on the songwriter challenge! ♥

Bravo! Well done guys :)

Thanks, hopefully many more songs will follow, that was the first time we recorded something together.. Oh, the things that Steem makes you do...

Great entry, guys! Thank you!! Hey, just a thought - with just a little tweaking or an added on announcement spliced in at the intro, you guys could also enter this into the regular Open-Mic week #61 contest..... Why not? :-)

That sounds efficient! Great idea, I'll keep that in mind for the next time!

Really good entry guys. Sounds good.

Hey thanks, it could be much better, but this contest runs under extreme time pressure, the theme is presented on wednesday, the last day to post is monday and that's very short. I took about 3 days to think about what to do with this theme and still feel the song lacks in originality, but time pressure just made me go with the few ideas that I had and this is the result.

8 songs in 8 weeks is an enormous challenge, I like challenges, I do, so I'll try to keep it up. But maybe, when the 8 weeks are finished, when you start a new songwriter's challenge, please consider a longer time to polish, refine and maybe even broaden the instrument spectrum (I mean, with some more time, a live performance with a band becomes a possibility). Just my .02 Steem :)
