Open Mic Night Wk 20 Entry: Sea Of Love Part 3 (Original Song)

verbal-d (71)in #openmic • 7 years ago (edited)

Here is Part 3, the final installment as promised. Please enjoy the musical ride and let me know what you guys think. Best of luck to everyone else's entries. Side Note: Sometimes I have to make one minor mistake, as it shows I am only human, in order to solve the problem of why it happens. I'm leaving this video as is and I'm ready to professionally record the track with @edgarstudio very soon with a near flawless approach.

Full Song Lyrics and Due Credits provided below.

Full Song Lyrics

Verbal D
Chorus:
Sea of Love
I think we should be
More than a shell
We must love openly

Sea of Love
I think we should be
Hard on ourselves
About the way we show the world affection
About the way we show the world affection, affection, affection

Verbal D
Verse 1:
Don’t need somebody who is easily sexual
Look for a woman who is most intellectual
Find a soulmate not willing to let you go
Cause love is ever-lasting, forever, perpetual

When I’m lost, I need to know just where to go
You can be my compass, and your loving is directional
Let me look inside your heart, use it like a telescope
I’m drowning for love, can someone send off me a rescue boat?

Put your head upon my heart, hear it like stethoscope
Loving is a healing device and somewhat medical
You can love somebody even if they are a vegetable
They may not respond, but they can feel it in their skeletal

To love somebody with true love is more than ethical
Love 'em through thick and thin when it's getting difficult
Know to love yourself, if you don't, unacceptable!
Love is on the walls and I'm just painting another coat!

Verbal D
Chorus:
Sea of Love
I think we should be
More than a shell
We must love openly

Sea of Love
I think we should be
Hard on ourselves
About the way we show the world affection
About the way we show the world affection, affection, affection

Verbal D
Verse 2:
Back in 89
Watching all those shows
Now I'm on the mic
Kicking all these flows
I never ever thought
My life would be this gold
Understand that I'm
Not the type to boast

But i can always stop
If you tryna test my flow
They say it's called hip hop
Musically, eighth notes
I represent one side
I'm talking bout west coast
Where life is always butter
Popping out like fresh toast

Many times I'm high
Other days I'm low
Regardless of how I feel
My love can always show
I elevate my mind and
Keep it spiritual
Music is a portal
and I open up the do'

Don't ever hesitate
The opportunity might go
This invitation stands
For those who really wanna grow
We're all about life, love
White doves, no crows
We're in a sea of love
Hop in the boat and help us row

Verbal D
Chorus:
Sea of Love
I think we should be
More than a shell
We must love openly

Sea of Love
I think we should be
Hard on ourselves
About the way we show the world affection
About the way we show the world affection, affection, affection

Verbal D
Verse 3:
Love's not just a noun, or a verb, it's a lifestyle
Put my heart in everything I do, including right now
So what I write down is heart felt
Ice poetry with a hot flow just enough to make the art melt

Pour it to the rhythm of the children, a billion
Opportunities to make a better world that we can live in...
It is where we are going,
Not the distance we have driven

I'm here for God's mission, gotta make better decisions
I'm elevating through visions 'til my sin is in submission
Stay strong, persistent...Love stays consistent
Doesn't sway with the distance, or displays resistance

My family and my friends, this world is coexistent
Tell me if you need me, I'd be there in an instant
Why do people say the world is dead, when it isn't?
We gotta love our best before these days are reminiscent... Peace

Great catchy melody, I've already got the earworm from it! That's gotta be tough switching back & forth from singing to rapping, but you pull it off somehow, someway -- def upvote for me

Thank you so much for the great compliment, glad you think it is catchy. And indeed it is very difficult to switch from rapping and singing and I have yet to master it. I'm always working on that aspect to smoothen out the transitions. Thank you for the feedback, comment and up vote support! Much appreciated

The formula is definitely working, my brother! First part as a teaser, second part as a bridge to sate the hunger a bit, and the third one to round it all out and be submitted as an entry to Open Mic Night. It's like having a behind the scenes look at the process! Definitely could be heightened by documenting how the beat is coming along during part two, but as it is, it's already firing on all cylinders.

I had a very different beat in mind as I was mouthing this in the previous chapters, but this end result is way better. Kudos to @edgarstudio for the flowy beat! You two make a really good team. I hope that one day we could all collaborate on something, just so that I could have the honor of working alongside the greats. Best of luck in the contest, I just know that this will do great!

Thank you bro, I do appreciate that. The beat definitely is one of a kind and purely edgar style. I would love to showcase a hint of the beat in part 2 but it just doesn't work out in how I have things mapped out, and I enjoy the surprise factor in part 3 as an open mic entry :) But yeah what kind of collaboration do you have in mind bro? I haven't heard your musical skills yet but you are a talented writer for sure. I'm all ears.

jedau (67) 7 years ago

I didn't mean it as a teaser to the beat, more like a mention of how it's coming along (a true behind the scenes look, if you will) as an aside to the content of the second part. But, that was just a thought, and the surprise factor is definitely a plus for chapter 3 :D I trust your process completely, brother.

Right now, I don't have a solid thought with regard to the potential collaboration, but I'm just glad that the option is open whenever lighting eventually strikes. I'm pretty sure individuals who put all of their passion and effort in everything that they do would surely produce something magical :D

Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I revisited the blog today and saw the same jab jab hook approach, definitely works.

I will listen tomorrow. Have to say the lyrics amazed me last time a few times to be precise :)

@jedau now I'm on your blog to see how you've been doing :)
