Had a great Labor Day Weekend, mostly due to playing live music at the Ford Arts, Beats & Eats! 🎶 (For a little more info, feel free to visit my previous blog post or www.artsbeatseats.com)
As for today, I just wanted to make a short and sweet post to share a live video from my performance.. This one is an original song, called "Shine". (You've gotta excuse the wind noise in the first 30 seconds or so 😊)
This song is included on my most recent project, "Running From Myself" ep, which was released in December 2016. I wrote "Shine" about my experience with several different auditions, time after time..
"When you're signing up for battle,
And you take your place in line,
All these unfamiliar faces,
Tryin to pass the time.
Then you step into the spotlight,
Tryin to clear your mind,
You gotta leave your best impression,
It's your time to shine.
60 seconds to Shine.
Tryin hard to find a balance,
You feel so insecure,
Then you rise up to the challenge,
It's what you want for sure.
60 seconds to Shine,
It's your moment in time,
60 seconds to break it down and lay it out,
Turn the tables all around,
Shine.
60 seconds to Shine.
The moment goes by so fast.
You know this feeling won't last.
Then it's over in an instant,
The faces fade away,
But if it wasn't meant to happen,
You're gonna make it another way.
60 seconds to Shine,
It's your moment in time,
60 seconds to break it down and lay it out,
Turn the tables all around,
Shine.
60 seconds to Shine."
