HOWDY once again all you Openmicers!
~CHALLENGE: This was 8th and the final week of the Songwriters Challenge, and this weeks theme was 'Til we meet again'.
~GRATITUDE: The original video has a thankyou message at the start, which was aimed at everyone who gave their support to my song in the last week. I cut out the 1-min message for this submission to keep it short and to the point: The music!
(But I am still really grateful to everyone for upvoting and commenting, and I think to curie? for the big upvote? xoxoxoxo It means a lot more to me than its weight in crypto) I am also grateful to the whole Openmic and Songwriters Challenge crews, and all the people who submitted or got involved. I feel like we all made some kind of real community connection, where a safe space for sharing our music is/has happened.
~MUSIC: Recorded on a very old and out of tune piano, here is the somewhat bittersweet song I wrote this week, 'Sweet Farewell':
LYRICS:
Ain't nothing like a fresh start
I almost forgot who you are
The road binds me on and on
Sweet farewell, oh so long
Oh brother I don't know what to say
It feels like yesterday
But I guess you hide the pain
And there it stays til we meet again
And I guess that you can't tell
The meaning of this Hell
When Heaven's in it too
Did you find it off the beaten track?
You made/took a ride there and never coming back
You said, please don't care
But oh honey, that just isn't fair
Do you remember when I was a child
The whole summer running wild
Growing older is hard to do
But growing wiser is part of it too.
And I guess that you can't tell
The meaning of this Hell
When Heaven's in it too
I guess that you can't tell
The meaning of this Hell
When Heaven's in it too
Heaven's in it too.
..it's such a joy to be part of this community.
STEEM ON Music-lovers!
