Steemit Openmic Week 91 Sami D Barid Feat Shavon Bonnie Legion Remember Old Places --- by
Inspiration is a most beautiful thing, especially when one acts upon it and turns that inspiration into reality! Well, that’s exactly what
This is the representation of a beautiful fusion. Both talented musicians are respectfully adept and massively skilled in their departments. Shavon Bonnie Legion, our good friend and fellow open mic judge is an all around powerhouse of gifts, from singing, songwriting, guitaring and more, and Said Barid is a prolific, and highly capable original pianist composer as he is a songwriter as well. This was an extremely touching and sentimentally moving, passionate performance. The emotions are raw and tangible within the musicality of this poetic piece. I loved everything about this, from the chemistry, to the harmonies, to the melodic flows and simplistically realness of what a touched soul can express. Thank you for sharing this collaborative masterpiece, definitely looking forward to hearing more in the future. -
I was not ready for this. I mean, How could one's composure be ready to be stripped away by the soothing sounds of melancholic strings and haunting vocals. Two seconds into listening I was not here anymore, I had left my computer and I was transported to a different version of myself. -
2nd Place
You won 40 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic Week 91 - Mía (Original Song) --- by
never fails to impress me! From his comprehensive (dual language) posts to the richness of his productions, he is one of the most talented artists I’ve encountered. I sure look forward to his participation in our upcoming mega-collab! “Mia” is an engaging and entertaining song about when love/lust slips away from us and leaves us wanting. Not only must you check out his song, but you must also check out the work that he has put into the accompanying post! Bravo! -
Very few take the time, effort and precision to submit back to back to back complex and intricate, high quality songs, and original at that! Your musical style is so catchy, very laid back and groovy. That reggae bounce is forever intwined in the rhythmic heartbeat of your entries. Your great vocals deliver real flow and the highlights are your harmonic prowess and being able to capitalise on the momentum you build. This was a bit shorter than I would have liked, but still captivated me from start to finish. You layer with skill and transition very well. You add so much inspiration and value to our open mic community, thank you for another fresh gem and looking forward to what you bring forth next. -
Not the first time
3rd Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic week 91 - Chapters Just Begun - Original Song by Darren Claxton --- by
So this is what comes out when Darren tries to squeeze in some songwriting after a long day at work. I suspect such extraordinary talent must escape when given the least opportunity. “Chapters Just Begun” is a touching composition that most of us can relate to. Darren’s performance is brilliant, his song moving, and his persona ever pleasant! -
Darren has been on an introspective journey for quite a while now, and we are just lucky to be along for the ride. His songwriting in my opinion has evolved, matured and his style has become really defined. It's hard for me not to relate to his lyrics, specially because just like him I'm a dreamer myself, one that is always staring back at the road traveled wondering if I made all the right choices. -
4th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic Night 91 Original Song Fade --- by
You are one of the most underrated vocalists/talent music aficionados and high energy/passionate performers within our open mic community, and you don't enter often but when you do, you draw a crowd. I literally wait for those weeks where you enter, because I know you will not hesitate to bring your all and unleash a focused blast of passion and lasting impression making music. You always raise the bar and have consistently showed your skill and prowess in these genres. You embodied the feeling of this original song 100% and changed the tonality and aggression at all the right areas. You rocked the deep lyricism you always pen into your compositions with intense intentions and your climactic style of singing is very effective. Thank you for sharing this powerful song with us, and ripping the veil for us to these raw and real emotions you pour out. You are openmic's very own rockstar and you wield this title without hesitation. Looking forward to your next original. -
5th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit OPEN MIC Week 91: (Original) SLOW by Siomara Salmerón --- by
*Intense, deep, and with great clarity, “slow” is love. This is such a wonderful theme and composition. Siomara takes us on a short journey to remind us of such wonders. Her melodies and performance are soothing, sultry, and sensational! * -
I may be mistaken, but I believe this is your first original showcase of your music? If yes, or if not, it is still a very sweet sounding song, sensual and serenading. You definitely took your slow and precious time creating this wonderfully pleasing creation. The translation you provided delves into a poetic description of how love has depth and is intertwined with time, and love does strengthen as the years mature such a genuine feeling and expression. Sometimes it takes a journey with the tides of a lifelong experience to discover the power of love. Nice and slow is a great motto, never rushing into anything as the tumultuous tides of a heavy storm pushes waves crashing onto the shore. Thanks for this original gem, and sharing your gift of music, definitely looking forward to more original music from you. -
