Steemit Open Mic Week 44: '715 - CR∑∑KS' by Bon Iver (cover song)steemCreated with Sketch.

in #openmic7 years ago

I've been wanting to perform this for quite some time. I'm not a performer by nature, and in fact have severe stage fright, which is pretty ridiculous for a musician with so much experience, but some songs just really make you wanna do it anyway, so this is an important step in my fight for confidence!

Though this is a live recording, to make the song I had to take an extra step, which I got permission from @Luzcypher to do so.

Because the nature of the song requires some messy software making my voice reroute through the keys of the keyboard as harmonies, I had to layer a recording of the performance over my phone camera separately, rather than simply sing into my phone.

With that in mind, I put the recording process in the background of the performance to show that it is all in one take, uncut.

ENJOY!

Lyrics

Down along the creek
I remember something
Her, the heron hurried away
When first I breached that last Sunday

Low moon don the yellow road
I remember something
That leaving wasn't easing
All that heaving in my vines
And as certain it is evening 'at is NOW is not the Time'
Ooh

Toiling with your blood
I remember something
In B, un—rationed kissing on a night second to last
Finding both your hands
As second sun came past the glass
And oh, I know it felt right
And I had you in my grasp

Oh, then how we gonna cry?
Cause it once might not mean something?
Love, a second glance
It is not something that we'll need
Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds
But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease

And I'll see you
Turn around, you're my A-Team
Turn around, now, you're my A-Team
God damn, turn around now
You're my A-Team

At first i was...im not sure. Do i like it or not? While I was pondering if this is my cup of tea or not i got to the "Toiling with your blood" part (round 1 min and after)....and u know what? It is my cup of tea! Just seems i need a bit of kick in my drink and a bit of force in your voice. :)

Great job! ...and good luck in Open Mic. :)

The song in general is a grower. Mix that with my weak voice and I can see how you could be unsure =D

Thank you for playing Steemit Open Mic
