So, I was browsing around on Steemit 2 weeks ago. I was about to go to bed, and then i happened upon a post by Hive account@edprivat.

He was doing a song contest, where people were asked to write a short song of 2 verses and a chorus, and drop it in the comments section. I thought to myself, why not! I'll give it a go. So, I stayed up a little bit later than usual, and wrote my first ever song! I love music, and I can play 8 or 10 chords on the guitar, but I certainly cant sing..

I'm not really sure what got me thinking about a homeless man, but that's who I ended up writing the song about. Have a listen and let me know what you think, and if you like it, maybe even give it a little resteem for us :o)

Man With No Home

LISTEN TO THE MAN WITH NO HOME

[Verse 1]
So desolate, so down
When he looks the people flee,
Sits all alone in his hometown,
He's a patriot you see,
This man is just like you and me,
But with no family around,
No dignity is found,

[Chorus]
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere,
Switch the penny for the pound,
Trodden dreams upon the ground,
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere.
Just a lost soul on the road to nowhere.

[Verse 2]
This man fought bravely for his flag,
His shoes with holes upon the floor,
Them dirty clothes are made of rag,
To die in war's considered valour,
Not this traffic and its clamour,
Not indignity's cold quiver,
As he poisons his own liver.

[Chorus]
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere,
Switch the penny for the pound,
Trodden dreams upon the ground,
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere.
Just a lost soul on the road to nowhere.

LISTEN TO THE MAN WITH NO HOME

Hive account@edprivat does a really cool video showing us how he produced the song also, which can be found here and his Steemit post about the song can be found here

So there you have it, my first ever song written in Dublin, performed brilliantly by Hive account@edprivat in Johannesburg and made possible by Steemit!!
