Steemit Open Mic Week 89 - Resolve - Original music by @darrenclaxton --- by
Don’t blame me, guys… Darren just so happens to be on fire of late. “Resolve” is a stunningly beautiful and timely Fathers Day tribute to Darren’s incredible Dad. He had me at my knees within 15 seconds with his initial guitar passages, which magically connected directly to the part my central nervous system that measures pure emotion. Thereafter, the slightly eastern melodic flavor combined with the story being told alongside the skillful and impassioned execution of it all left me helpless to do anything else but to top Darren out at the height of my list. -
I guess Darren has been on a roll lately, his entries, his original songs have just been attacking at the heart as if they are crafted with one intent in mind.
I just love the use of the pedal tones, the harmonics and the melancholic melody. I've been remembering my grandfather a lot this weekend, and this little song seemed so appropriate. -
2nd Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 89 Hallelujah Cover By Coco Ramos --- by
Ahem, ahem, look who’s here again? That’s right folks, it’s Coco, and she’s driving me absolutely mad in more ways than one! Just when I thought that I’ve heard all the coverage of this classic that I could possibly hope for, along comes Coco to shock me into complete and utter submission. My life just wouldn’t be the same if I were to have been denied hearing her particular rendition of this most amazing classic. Yes, no doubt her new pink hair is definitely a short-term bonus; however, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the sheer brilliance of her guitar work within the first 30-seconds of listening. Thereafter, her dynamic vocal builds, inflections, and returns are simply jaw-dropping. Couple all of that with her opening smiles and her closing conveyance of sincere humility, and you’ve got yourself a “golden production” and an outstanding entry quite worthy of placement in my top-5 list any day of the week. -
I don't really need to say much. This is quite simple, if you can listen to Coco sing this song and your skin does not react, if you don't feel like crying. I suggest you call a Doctor immediately.
Coco has such a powerful delivery, its hard to describe with words. I feel like she's attacking me, like her mission is to make me break down in a pool of emotions. There more I listen, the more she succeeds. -

Steemit Open mic week # 89 - Originalsong: "Because we can". (Dtube / YouTube). --- by
For those who may not know or recall, this “Wilins Classic,” “Because We Can,” (Porque podemos) is a product of week #4 from season-1 of the Songwriters Challenge, which was created and sponsored by
This is one of my favorite originals ever composed by Wilins. A song about existence, a journey into the thousand questions. Its hard to describe why I'm always drawn in by introspective music, I guess its mainly because I can relate so powerfully it. I'm also one to ask myself thousands of times, why life is the way it is. -

Steemit Open Mic Week 89 / My Childhood (Original Song) Mi Niñez --- by
*Armando’s brother, Cesar Linares composed this masterpiece. It appears that in addition to himself, Armando’s siblings comprise the balance of this musical tour de force. I can only assume that this is a song about their lives growing up together as brothers and sisters. I am literally dying to know the lyrics – this is such a touching and beautiful production! What an incredibly talented family, and what a beautiful recollection of the love and joy they shared throughout their lifetimes. This is one special production and most definitely a piece of treasured legacy music for the Linares family and for us as well. I extend my thanks to each of them for sharing this treasure with us all. Bravo! * -
I was relly glad to see the judges picked this entry this week. Loved the voices singing together and the composition. Thanks for bringing more musicians to the community and hope to hear more soon. -
