Steemit Openmic Songwriters Challenge-Week1-Broken Mirror
Thanks @meno @luzcypher and all of the judges and supporters of musicians on Steemit !
Okay this is way outside of the usual way that I write songs. As I have mentioned before I never try to write on a subject; these things either "download" through me or not...
I decided to forgo any oblique references and go straight to the title.
I found out the hardest part other than writing a song on demand, in one day, is trying to record it! I kept messing up the lyrics but after many many takes I settled with this....thanks for listening and be gentle ! (PS-This song is not autobiographical)
peace
In the night
Seeking light
While you struggle
With reflections
In your mind
Wandering far
From where you are
And you suffer
All the darkness
In your heart
Broken mirror
Nothing's clear
As you try
To recognize
Scattered pieces
On the floor
Broken mirror
It's so clear
Though you try
You can't hide
Many faces
On the wall
Passing by
You flash a smile
You're not showing
What is going
On inside
Don't know why
You live the lie
Never seeing
Your own being
In their eyes
Chorus

Nice thematic composition, brother! 500th take or not.... LMFAO!!! :-)
By the time I got done recording I thought I may never play that one again, but now it's stuck in my head so I think I like it after all...I would have liked to put a solo in there...
Funny how a song can grow on you, huh? I appreciate the tenacity you bring to bear in getting your shit right, man!
very nice bro , i love your vibe !
Thanks man I really like your playing and singing and I always watch your videos even if I don't always comment !
I like this one. The dynamics are perfect with the vocals. Great job!
Yo thanks...it was definitely tricky because I have not really played the song too many times, so when I focused on the guitar i would mess up the lyrics and vice versa. peace
what a treat... beautiful song brother...
Thanks to you for the generous guitar donation and the idea to do this...I didn't know if I was going to enter this contest, but somehow an idea came through. It is always a surprise that it happens at all! peace
Great tune @onetruebrother. Your melody line snakes around beautifully.
"Take 500!" I have a closet full of those t-shirts ;)
Yeah maybe 500 was stretching the truth a bit...but it definitely tested my perseverance! Thanks
