I am very excited to share with Steemit my original song, "Hoxie (Live at The Landing Pad Studios)," recorded by @robbied and @d-ro at The Landing Pad Studios in Marionville, Missouri.

Recording with Robbie and Dave was an incredibly pleasant experience. Robbie is going to school at Full Sail University, majoring in Audio Production, and we recorded this track actually just before all of his sweet Full Sail gear showed up...and I was incredibly impressed with how the track turned out.

@soundlegion's Steemit Music Artist Compilation Volume One:

Steemit Artist Music Compilation Volume 1 is a duel set collection of multi genre original tracks from musical artists with a wide spectrum of sound skill sets.

53 Talented Artists submitted original tracks to be included in this volume 1 collection. There is everything from Acoustic Singer Songwriter, Instrumentals, Atmospheric, EDM, Rock, Rap, Pop and more. The talent that came through for this first volume in what I hope to be a long running series of volumes was just incredible. I am already planning Volume 2 which will be genre specific and there will be a bit more of a narrowing down process. For this first volume I wanted to include everything that came in. Now it made it a tasky situation with all these artists and tracks but again I was highly impressed with the quality and talent that came through. Thanks to everyone of you out there who inspired here on steemit with your music.

"Hoxie" Lyrics:

Pass the railroad tracks,
Turn the corner...cut it quick,
And ease into your driveway.
You are sitting on your front porch, and
You are smoking Turkish Jades,
But you accept my offer for a substitute.

We talk about the past,
There isn't much to tell,
I'm lonely and you're lonely but we're doing well.
Then we slide into your room and we bar up the door,
And as I watch a movie, you are watching something more.

But I won't lie, and I won't say
That maybe it is better pretending we're together...
I won't lie; I won't say,
That maybe it is better we're pretending we're together in this way.

And it's been 24 hours and I'm all wrapped up in this,
And in fact, I think I might be smothering.
Dance on this paper, on this paper with my pen...
Stutter out the mediocre words--drive the world into my skin.
But you speak in poetry, just like before...
And your hands know my rhythm, and my hands know yours--

But I won't lie, and I won't say
That maybe it is better pretending we're together...
I won't lie; I won't say,
That maybe it is better we're pretending we're together in this way.

It happened in Hoxie,
The cultural center of nowhere.
