So, this week my submission to Steemit Open Mic Week 87 - Record Your Performance And Win Steem - Sponsored By @pfunk And @luzcypher is a cover song by Brett Anderson called Back to you.
Because I get confused playing and singing, I did a backing track with 3 takes on the guitar and some synth strings and singed live over this pre-recorded backing track. I was thinking of adding some cajon playing or editing the guitars, but I like the music this way. It's free from strict rhythms letting the melodies breathe and evolve.
Enjoy:
And of course the lyrics:
You flick your mane and click your fingers again
And from your back you call my name
And like a fool I run right back to you
And dance along to your latest tune
And when the lands slides
And when the planets die
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
And when the sun cools
And when the stars fall
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
You roll those eyes and trap my hand in your thighs
It's slavery but in disguise
And like a fool I run right back to you
There's nothing else that I can do
And when the pigs fly
And when the planets die
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
And when the sun cools
And when the stars fall
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
And when the war machines
Rust eternally
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
And when your heart bleeds
For a love that's dead like me
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
P.S.: I know now that my entry is not valid because I don't play live a musical instrument in the video, but I already uploaded it and I don't believe that I have any chances to win. So, please forgive my hastiness, I will remember next week to pay more attention to the rules. (Although I played 3 guitars and some keys for the backing track...).
