Open mic Songwriters Challenge week 8 - Make believe

in #openmic6 years ago

Hello Steemians!

I'm here once more for Open mic's songwriters challenge week 8 , this week the theme was Until we meet again.

Here's my entry :

Here are the lyrics:

A meaningless fight starting up again
The same old discussion comes up again
We bring out old scars without resolution...

Oh

It's getting more difficult to pretend
Cause now it's so clear were not even friends
It only makes sense to find resolution...

And I know

It's over
The writing's on the wall
There's no need to make believe

It's over
The writing's on the wall
There's no need to make believe anymore...

Now you know I'm not the man you thought you loved
Now I know I'm not the man within your thoughts
Now you know I'm not the man you thought you loved
Now I know I'm really me and not the man you thought I had to be...

It's over
The writing's on the wall
There's no need to make believe

So long
There's nothing left to say
Until we meet again.


This song is about those moments when you are in a relationship and feel stuck, it starts out great, but then expectations are not met and it ends up being a daily battle of demands and reproach, when it is expected of you to be someone you're not, many people said it better than me, but it reminds me of a sentence in a John Mayer song; Who do you love? me or the thought of me?

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen, this was the most difficult one I've done for this contest, but I still enjoyed it!!!

I'm a little sad the songwriters challenge comes to an end this week, but it has given me such a push that I intend to keep writing and producing music for a long time :)

Thank you very much to @luzcypher and @meno, to @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, and @passion-ground, you guys rock!

Also @ausbitbank and @xedal and @pfunk for their incredible generosity!

To @isaria and @swelker101 and @globocop and @disarrangedjane and the MSP-waves team for sharing my music!!

And last but never ever least, everyone who shared and commented and upvoted any of my posts!

THANK YOU!!!!

Your reactions to my music and the incredibly kind words you've sent my way mean the world to me!!!!

Any ways, thanks for your time, and I'll see you on my next post!

:D

Thanks @luzcypher!!!
I'm really happy you liked it!, this one was so much more difficult than all the other ones! :)

That's more like it @luisferchav I like this one above all your previous songs 😎 I knew you would make something this good soon I was just waiting for it (not that I didn't like last ones) you'r a true looper, I forgot how handy acoustic guitar is for looping, I caught a glimpse of Linkin Park in this entry I had a hunch we are the same generation 86'/87' I presume haha, keep it up man

Hey!! Thanks! I like this one better as well hehe.
Guitar is awesome for looping, you just have to take the time and find the sounds hehe, and you're right, we are the same generation! :)

dude, luis, this is SUCH a great final entry! That extra effort paid off man! Wow. The vocal looping where you sung in to the guitar, that was so cool, and the ENDING! Man, I loved it, it just gets better and better....Im so glad you are inspired to keep producing because you are a class act my friend :) Its been a pleasure to create alongside you in this challenge man :) until the next time x

Hey Basil!!! Thank you so much!! I has been a pleasure truly! I am really happy to have met you through this challenge!! Many of your songs and general personality and attitude have inspired me greatly, especially the part about being a little more vulnerable with what I write, so thank you for that!! Until next time!! :)

dude, the feelings mutual. Its been so great to meet you and hear your work each week. Truly special :D I was definitely not expecting the vulnerability thing, so it was a bit of a journey for me! But I feel like Ive grown as a musician and as a person really, so for an 8 week online challenge, you cant ask much more really can you!? Its been totally awesome bro. this is definitely not the end! ;)

That was pretty awesome, dude! Nice!

Hey @passion-ground!!
Thank you so much!! I'm happy you liked it!!! :D
This one took a lot more effort, so it's nice you guys appreciate it!

I really did not expect the singing into guitar, but wow that really works!
