Steemit Open Mic Week 68 - Original "Haunted By The Truth"
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="
Greetings Steemians!
I hope this week finds you all well! I'm back this week with a new original I wrote during a bout of depression one morning last week. It's always good for me to write and get that stuff out of me so I can move on with my day.
lyrics
They whisper the truth in my ear
As I'm set adrift alone on this empty sea
Hard not to listen when I know
To disbelieve is to lie to myself
Just what, tell me what
We have to look forward to
As we decay and rot
Our love just a temporary reprieve
As no heaven would take our pain away
This life is truly killing me
Wanting out so bad
Yet resisting the truth with a lie
Longing for some meaning
Not willing to give in
The fallacy of humankind
This lie, it's haunted by the truth
and the one who whispers is me
Hope you all enjoyed!

I injoyed very much! Thank you! x
Thank you @innerstellar!
You're welcome.
Very special sound that somehow distorted somehow not distortet accoustic guitar, ahh, it's a loop-machine? But it is a nice song!
It reminds me on a band "sentenced" the music and your voice sounds exactly like the singer of that band
Sentenced was a really awesome band. I absolutely hated to see them break up. Ville Lahailla is probably one of the best frontmen around. You saying this sounds like a Sentenced tune is a huge compliment to me. Thank you!
Yes I'm using 3 pedals on this. I'm using a looper, a analog delay, and a tubescreamer overdrive for the slightly distorted sound.
I love what you do with the loops.
Thanks @luzcypher!
Thumbs up this end. absorbing that guitar work. great melody!
Thank you
That's perfect man!! great song! and great guitar works \m/
Our love just a temporary reprieve
As no heaven would take our pain away
This life is truly killing me!
Thanks man, I'm happy you like my lyrics!
Muy buen tema bro.. comparto tu sentir.. cuando la verdad nos hace saber quienes somos en esta existencia tan de un suspiro.. Te abrazo hermano..
¡Gracias hombre!
La depresión es como una crisis existencial una o dos veces por semana, pero sí es un buen material para la canción.
Really cool performance! I wish I could use the loop pedal as you do. To be honest I don't know how to use it at all.
All the Best!
Thanks bro
They are a blast man, you should try and get one. Maybe I'll do a tutorial on how to use them. It's not hard at all.
Thank you for your advice.
Take care!
Some fancy foot-work and distortion on an acoustic guitar... cool song, man!
Thanks man ☺️
