Hello steemians and open mic community, it is a pleasure to participate in this week’s open mic contest with an original song written by me. Many thanks and appreciations for making my ride so far, on this platform an incredible one through their upvotes. Words can't really express my gratitude. I did the recording of this performance right inside my home studio. I had to use the guitar pickup microphone because I wanted to get the best of the vocals with the condenser microphone and I also wanted to avoid overdubbing. The guitar pickup mic did not give me the best of quality but I still had to use it and also the shock mount to my condenser microphone got shattered and I had to carefully place the microphone in my absorber. I had also had to add some ambiance noise to the vocals to give it the feel I wanted.
Lyric
I'm here strumming on these broken strings
I just wanna send a word out
I could write a thousand songs
I just wanna let it all out
I saw an angel the other day and
I wanted to send a message
I wrote a twelve bar blues
She said no blues in heaven
I did the Texas blues
She said no blues in heaven
I sent an afro lullaby the other day
But still, haven't heard from heaven
I have a message for a pretty black angel
So open up the gates of heaven
(CHORUS)
I want to talk to my baby
My beautiful baby (talk to my baby)
My unborn baby (×2)
(Verse two)
You are the reason that I wake up every morning
I coulda let this all down for long
You are the reason that I get on the road
Your smile got me holding on for long
Oh the thought of you gives me this crazy little feeling
Oh the thought of you makes me feel like I'm winning
Like I always say baby don't have no fear
Like I always say don't worry about nothing
Oh the thought of you gives me this crazy little feeling
Oh the thought of you makes me feel like I'm winning
I wanna send a message to a pretty black angel
So open up the gates of heaven
(Repeat Chorus)
