Steemit Open Mic Week 69 - Collector of moments (Original Song)
Gratefulness. For. Every. New. Now.
Special guest: Sanchez, the snoring cat
Lyrics:
Don't worry friend to see me cry
'cos when I feel I don't ask why
I save my energy to know that it could be
that this earthquake shakes me up
to set me free
You know
I'm a collector of moments
I like to drown in those waves from inside
Throughout this life
I couldn't help but to notice
That the shades
bring the colors to life
When it's too late to stand and fight
When a mistake has multiplied
When all the lessons that I've learned
seem so absurd
A shooting star carries the truth
without a word
You know
I'm a collector of moments
I like to drown in those waves from inside
Throughout this life
I couldn't help but to notice
That the shades
bring the colors to life
The shades
bring the colors to life
Now go collect some moments.
I'm melting....
Ha. You're welcome. :)
Thank you for listening with your heart.
Thank you, really beautiful song with deep lyrics, great poetry.
It plays a little quiet on my laptop though. Do you do any audio editing before you make the video? You could benefit from it. Maybe separate the audio source from video and amplify it using audacity (freeware) and then joining them back together. That's just one easy way to do it. There are better ways too. Good luck!
Thank you for your feedback! I will check out how to do this! :)
Loved the cameo from Sanchez! :-) This is a beautiful composition and performance, @melavie! I loved it! It did play a tad quiet for me too...
I have a burning question to ask you. I was just wondering how it is that you come up with such extraordinary vocal melodies. Do you render them with piano, or do they simply come to you ahead of time, and you build the musical backdrop behind such?
I'm 100% certain there is no magic formula, however, I'm rather intrigued and wondered how things typically come together for you in the most basic way - and in this composition particularly. .x
Actually that's a good question. I think for me the melody comes mostly with the words. I have a sentence to start with I press a few chords and I put it together. When I have a start I like the rest develops out of it.
It basically feels like it is already there. I just take it out of this pool of musical possibilities.
Next one I will turn up the volume.
Thanks for dropping by! :)
Sounds like "pure magic" to me, and it's a rather beautiful thing! Thanks for sharing, @melavie!
Such a magnetic voice...you have a gift and you can use it really naturally, it's just a magic. You're making this songs come alive and I can't help to fall into their intimate world. thanks for sharing it with all of us.
