Original Song "Time" by @aprilangel

in music •  8 years ago 

I wrote this song a few years ago when I was feeling quite existential toward what I saw to be the quickly approaching, inevitable end of a relationship. The song itself came out well and I like it a lot. The relationship, well I pretty much called that.

April Angel

I quit writing and singing shortly after 'Time' was written because the pressure I was putting on myself was too much. I routinely criticized myself and what I saw to be flaws "why don't you write a bridge! People need BRIDGES!". I was unaware, at the time, that perfectionism was to blame for my constant anxiety and fear of performing in public.

I really like visiting the page of submissions to the Open Mic contests on steemit and will enter one soon (as suggested by @beanz a couple of weeks ago in reply to my introduction post).
Until then, please enjoy this little ditty I wrote.

Would love to hear you sing a song for Open Mic Week 13

Thanks! I'll try to get one on the list this week. 😊

That would be so cool! April is my favorite month.

BEAUTIFUL!

Great post, wonderful song!

Thank you! 🎶 🎸 ❤

Tremendous lyrics, voice, and guitar playing. Really can't think of any constructive criticism because you nailed it! Look forward to hearing more.

That is a very thoughtful comment. Thanks for taking the time to write! I appreciate it. 😊

It's silly how we judge ourselves in ways that others don't. I'm becoming a bit kinder with myself, thankfully.

Great voice!

Thank you!!!! 😊

I love it...
Following for more of that great stuff!

Thank you! I appreciate that!

You really needed to break that 200 vote mark, I'm glad I could do that even if it's a little late to add to the 24 hour pot. This is beautiful, I love acoustic guitar. My brother is a musician and I've been posting songs of his as I'm trying to recruit him to steemit. I've met many lovely people in the music community here because of it. Here's a song of his that you might enjoy :)

Thank you!

Your brother has a nice voice and good guitar chops! Thanks for sharing and good luck recruiting him here!

Um, I love this.

Thanks!! 😀

love this! you have such a genuine sound. so deep and sincere. hope to hear more from you.

Awww, thank you so much! I appreciate your taking the time to share that with me. 😊
