Color - ORIGINAL SONG (Mellow, Acoustic, FREE download on SoundCould)

in music •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Steemit-ers! I wanted to share an original song I recently uploaded to SoundCloud called Color. It’s a soft, mellow, and simple acoustic song for anyone who prefers something gentle on the ears. (You can add it to your SoundCloud playlists or download the free mp3.)

I like to record rough mixes of my songs on my 8-track when I get a chance, for myself if nothing else, but figured I’d share them on Steemit encase there are people that would find them enjoyable on here.

If you have any comments, want to talk music, or are a musician on Steemit I’d love to hear from you!

Here is a link to my SoundCloud account if you want to hear more: https://soundcloud.com/musicsonof

Here are the Lyrics:

You're just a voice in color
surrounded by the people you'd rather be
You reach and you play for a raise in your veins
but you find you're not what they need

I know I shouldn't show but it's my life you waste then it's over
So I'll go but you should know when I'm gone you'll have to start over

Your face is slowly melting
as you admire all the words they paint
You'll beg and you'll pray but often they won't stay
They end up only drops of salt and clay

I know I shouldn't show but it's my life you waste then it's over
So I'll go but you should know when I'm gone you'll have to start over

– Bridge –

I know I shouldn't show but it's my life you waste then it's over
So I'll go but you should know when I'm gone you'll have to start over!

Nice tune @blackdog!

I dig the mellow "Elliot Smith"ish vibe you got going hehe
Love the Verse/Chorus "color" contrast you got going on with your chord choice.
What 8-track are you using to track you songs?

Thank you for sharing your music brother!

Hey, thank you @pedrozappa!

I use an old dusty Fostex MR-8HD to record and a Shure SM57.
