RE: Steemit Open Mic 127 - Weather (Molly Parden Cover ) @jubei333
So I shall be reacting to this live as I listen... So let's get ready at three... two... one... GO!
So hitting us straight with the fingering/playing of the guitar, which I must say they were strung quite nicely. To which we get the singing, which I must say the singing is quite deep and nice. Most of the time, I must say yah managed to syncrhonize the singing with the fingering/playing of the guitar. Especially when yah draw out words and it's just so god dang mesmorizing (more for nostalgic reasons actually that I say this, than actually pure talent, talent reasons). Unto the lyrics: feels much like a religious-moody song, much of the concerns/anxiety of the person in the story of the lyrics feeling very real and of course nice metaphor worked in there. (Yes I know this is a cover, it still needs to be talked about regardless.) Oh, heard that sharp guitar string yelping, didn't felt nice to hear that. No sir ree! Otherwise, nice playing and congratulations on getting that @curie upvote!
Unto the video itself: it feels like a trend I keep seeing is that moody songs always get Black&White (B&W) filters, just videos on the Steemit Social Media platform with music getting B&W like it's god dang Christmas and everyone should be doing it! Not a complaint, just a mental folly I just have upon seeing so many videos with B&W that makes this not funny. Are we experiencing a nostalgia resurgance that'll die down or is this how the Steemit platform wishes to culturally distinct itself from, say, YouTube and Twitter and the what nots? Who knows, not me. I at least wasn't the person who sold the World!
Wow thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment!
I have this bad habit of recording songs to soon after Ive learned them.I had learned this song the day before recording the video and should have probably taken an extra day or 2 to smooth out the guitar part.
If you check the version of the song I play in the guitar lesson I think its alot smoother ,this was recorded the day after the open mic vid.
As for the black and white thing I just think I look sexier in black and white :)
