Steemit Open Mic Week 90: "Red And Purple" (The Dodos Cover) by @k0wsk1

I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE I CAN'T STOP PLAYING COVERS OF THE DODOS

Hello Steemit Open Mic fam! :) I hope you enjoy my entry for the week! This song is played in Open A tuning - it's from the album Visiter by The Dodos:

Lyrics:

There's nobody here
To tell us a joke
We tear off our ears
The fire that we stoke

You wrote me a note
The pages were blank
And I, I should have known
Invisible ink

I know that I am yours and you will be mine
Come and join us in the trenches
Red and purple by our side
Say you'll never leave us
In this company of mine

You carry this dirt
We stole from the source
Its tongue will be hurt
Attack from the north

The color was red
The number was six
Now you're in my head
No more to convince

I know that I am yours and you will be mine
Come and join us in the trenches
Red and purple by our side
Say you'll never leave us
In this company of mine

I bring this back home
Just hoping I've changed
So that you will know
Just how I'm deranged

But you're off on your search
You're crying, then went to church
You're safe, or at least I heard
Until to me you return

I know that I am yours and you will be mine
Come and join us in the trenches
Red and purple by our side
Say you'll never leave us
In this company of mine

I'm using a different mic this week than usual, I found the mount on my Bluebird mic broken this morning... Will have to talk to the roomies about that. This other large condenser mic is called the Aston Origin, a very good mic for the price ($269). My roomate Mac bought it some time ago, and it delivers arguably the most transparent and clear signal of the large diaphragm mics we have here.

Thanks for watching and listening everyone, good luck to all the open mic contestants! Big thanks to @pfunk, @luzcypher, @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, @passion-ground, and @meno for making this whole thing happen every week! <3
