What a beautiful little song. I'm so happy to see
"I had chills through and through with this performance. I am so glad to see
So glad your glorious music isn't quiet at all. Couldn't fathom an Open Mic community without all of the great originals you blessed us with, and this one is poetically deep and profoundly performed with a reflective and sombre cry. Both you and @Melavie have that talent to produce such melancholic and heartfelt music. Great guitar work to build up the momentum and suspense as well. Thank you for sharing this gem, looking forward to more in the future. -
You really have a captivating voice and feel when you perform, you feel the music and words and present them to a listener in a brilliant way - I loved this song and this entry, I hope to see more from you soon. -

Steemit Openmic Week 111: “There Must Be A Way” --- by
Sometimes the best company we find in times of loneliness and lost direction are the worst influences, but for the time being, those moments of companionship are still cherished because they provided something that helped the ever impending void of nothingness that vacuums away the meaning of life and purpose from many souls trying to find their way in this cold world. I really enjoyed your lamenting melodies, deep lyrics and raw emotions in this original, great guitar chord transitions as well. Thank you for sharing this farewell gem with us, I am sure it was quite the great experience in Venezuela with
and @Smollrecord. Have a safe journey home. Looking forward to more entries from you brother. -
