Steemit Open Mic Week 96 - Cover of Steve Von Till's "Willow Tree"
Greetings Open Mic!
This week I cover one of my favorite and probably not very well known artist, Steve Von Till. He is from the band Neurosis, but has several albums released as a solo artist. This song is my favorite by him.
lyrics:
I wish I was a willow tree leaning on a lazy breeze
Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia
I wish I was a grain of sand laying in a baby’s hand
Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean
Willow tree is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water wash over me
I wish I was an old guitar sitting in a beat up car
Hitting every two bit bar from here to texas
I wouldn’t be ashamed to look up my old friends
They’d be so glad to see me strung up again
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water wash over me
Nobody wants you when you’re down and out
Nobody wants to know your name
Just another face lost in the crowded street
Here in the crowded street
I wish I was a willow tree leaning on a lazy breeze
Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia
I wish I was a grain of sand laying in a baby’s hand
Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean
Willow tree is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water wash over me

Great job and great choice of song! I know SVT has made solo records, but I havent heard this song. Lyrics are gold! Neurosis is one of my faves. I commend you for playing this and bringing in music to Steemit that may be obscure to most here
Von Tills a genius and so is Kelly. I've been wanting to do this one for a while. Love to get stoned and take in these atmospheres and words. Thanks for the comment <3
If you were to do a Neurosis song with your looper, which one would it be?
I dunno man. That's something I've never considered really. I'm fond of the "Honor Found In Decay" album. Especially the track "Casting Of The Ages". It's kinda like with Agalloch, something has to jump at me and demand that I do it.
I like this song bro! :)) nice vocals, and a great performance \m/
Glad you liked it bradda! Thank you<3
Nice rendition, brother...
I suspect the horse bearing such news could be nothing less than grim...
Love your entries, man - because I usually have never heard any of these songs...
When you cover them - they open me up to a whole new world...
And it's awesome!
Thanks man <3
That's exactly why I do covers like this. Some of the best music is the more obscure stuff.
