Hi dear steemians this is my first entry in OpenMic contest.
First, I have to say thanks to my good friend @pedromrmourato for his amazing talent and for introducing me to the open mic, and my good friend Bertilio Santos - your voice is unbelievable!!
This is an original song called “You've been there", I hope you guys enjoy it and I'm looking forward to read your thoughts about it.
A very special thanks to all the OpenMic community (musicians and music lovers) and to our sponsors @pfunk and @luzcypher for making this possible for all of us.
One love.
Lyrics:
You've been there
Silence,
Is all I want right now,
From you
'Cause you drag me down
Be Quiet,
Listen to what I have to say,
My words
You won't drag them away, noooo
I wanted to show you how
life could be easy, if you
just let me hold you
You and I
We knew the dangers
there's no need to be strangers
Refrão 2x:
You've been there (3x)
I'll never be your clown again
Listen
If we ever due part
I hope
you get a brand new start, ooohhh
I wanted to show you how
Life could be easy, if you
Just let me hold you
You and I
We knew the dangers
there's no need to be strangers
Refrão2x:
You've been there (3x)
I'll never be your clown again
Bridge (2x)
Why do we get back what we throw out
Your voice echoes but I can hear no sound
Refrão 2x:
You've been there (3x)
I'll never be your clown again
Bridge (4x)
Why do we get back what we throw out
Your voice echoes but I can hear no sound
Great performance, guys - congratulations on hitting top place in Open Mic with it!
@jaytaylor thank you for your kind words.
Let me tell you that i checked your blog and i love your Secret Garden painting ;)
Congratulations you have an amazing talent!!!
Maybe in a near future i can buy one of your painting for my house.
All good for you.
One love
Paulo, you are most welcome <3
I'm glad you like that painting - if I still have it when you are a Steemit megastar (which won't be long!), I will be happy to trade it for some of your Steem dollars - or fiat, if you prefer. I would LOVE knowing that it lived with a beautiful soul who loves it :D
All things good to you, too, Paulo - keep playing! You rock! <3
With love, Jay
What an utterly amazing performance.
You guys just keep showcasing some amazing talent. Congratulations once again. Keep them coming.
@luczypher I am so happy with the outcome of our song. We make music form the heart and the recognition of the open mic community feels so good ;) Thank you once again for all the great work you and all the open mic team are doing. You guys make us push more and more each day so we can bring good things to the community and your work here is making me meet artists and listen to songs that are making me grow as a musician and a person.
All the best for you guys and keep making the Open Mic contest as great as it is right now ;)
One love
Que bom :) Muito obrigado por isso. My written Portuguese is rusty, but your song is so very awesome, @paulobassman. I never even knew Steemit even had an Open Mic competition. Who nows maybe one day I'll give it a shot too.
I liked and sub'd from my YT channel, Positive777, as well as followed, upvoted and resteemed here.
Thanks for bringing some sunshine into the steemit world :)
@positivesynergy obrigado pelas palavras 😁
Do you have any relation ro Portugal?
One love
Only that I passed through Lisboa into Europe on an awesome cruise ship from living in Brazil about 6 years many years ago now. Lisbon is a beautiful city. Where do yo live?
I lived in Lisbon for 30 years but 7 years ago i moved to Algarve ;)
Its great that you still remember some word in Portuguese its not an easy language!!!
I wish all good for you and if you come to Portugal / Algarve i will gladly show you some nice places!!
One love
Thank you - Muito obrigado : )
One love - Peace

Nice work!
I hear a bit of an Adam Levine vibe both in vocal and songwriting style.
Very cool!

I would love to record a bass line in your song ;)
@paulobassman If you do it i'll be really honored!, thank you so much for enjoy my entry, you have all the permissions to make that bass line jaja.

And one question: why isn't Bertilio here on Steemit? he probably would have waaaay much success on the platform jajaja
@ilazramusic so i will record a bassline over your song and send it to you it will be a plesure to do it ;)
One love
Awesome gentlemen! Paulo, I love the way your basslines compliment each of the songs you play. Though subtle at times, without you at the bottom, the songs just wouldn't be the same. NICE, brother!
@passion-ground i am so glad you like it and thank you very much for your words.
I always try to keep the bass in the right place for what the music needs without overpowering the song!!!!
Thanks
One love
Awesome performance! Love your song SO much. Can't wait to hear more.
@luzcypher thank you for your kind words and its an honour to be part of this musical community.
