It's been a while since I submitted a song to Steemit Open Mic but I've recently started writing again after what feels like an eternity.
I've done a lot of soul searching and while I'm not really sure I'm any wiser, I'm in a better place than I've been for some time.
I wrote this song over the weekend and wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics
Just so it’s clear, this is not a lie
Just so it’s clear, I won’t be that guy
So now I guess you know, this is where I hide
It’s lonely. It’s lonely
Who are you to say that’s not a life?
Who are you to say that’s not how you do it right?
Who are you to take the fall and let me wash away?
Do you want it? Do you want it too?
All this carrying is heavy now
All this labouring is getting me down
All this heartache I’ve been bearing since that day
It’s getting harder. It’s getting harder.
Who are you to say that’s not the way?
Who are you to say I’ll get it right some day?
Who are you to bear the cross that brings me down this time?
Don’t you want it? Don’t you want it too?
Let’s just whisper, keep our cool for now
Let’s just whisper, makes me feel safe somehow
I don’t know if I’m going to be OK
I’m so tired. I’m so tired. I’m so tried!
Who are you to that’s wright or wrong?
Who are you say we can’t all just get along?
Who are you to make the call that brings us to our knees?
Did you want it? Did you want it too?

STOPYou are a talented artist my friend. I The whole mix is well balanced and clear. I wish I had started playing and writing music long ago. But late in life is better then never at all I think. I know it's a lot to ask but could you give me an honest feedback on my work. So I know if I should just play for myself or not. Thank you for your time. Best wishes too you.
Hey there @zeitli thank you for you kind words!
It's never too late to start mate. Many would say I should have given up a long time ago but if the fire still burns I figure you should keep it burning.
I really enjoyed listening to your track, it took me back to some of the shoegazing classics of the early 2000's. You have a pleasant dreaminess about your song structure and your vocals. Keep at it my friend and please keep sharing them with us.
Thank you very much. I really like your work so your comments mean quite a bit. I hope I will improve with time. Thanks again.
