Open Mic Week 41 - Darkened Soul (Original Song)

in openmic •  7 years ago 

This song bemoans the end of civilisation, and a faltering renaissance.

Darkened Soul
I'm a darkened soul
I have seen our fall / can see no more

There is a movement that may grow
But could it be a thousand years or so too slow?

Very good. Upvoted. Resteemed.

Nice picking skills mate

Thanks! It's funny I've played that song a lot, but when I came to record it yesterday, I couldn't remember a nice part of the picking pattern. Pleased it was ok though.

A rather hauntingly dark piece Andy, with more than a hint of eastern tones! 😊👍

Ooooh I like these chords Andy!
You had me at Darkened Soul :-)

Love the conceptual structure and the eastern flavor... Nice!

Cheers!

That's a really nice sounding guitar, and your progression and melody are beautiful.

Thanks man! Are you entering one this week?... or the same one again even?!

Yeah, I had planned on doing it today, but it's 3:30AM my time and I haven't even recorded anything and need to sleep! I'm gonna try to get it up tomorrow.

Thanks again @andybets. Some nice picking and interesting chords.

Thanks!

Wow really cool. I am waiting to see others.

Thanks very much.

wowwww, kereeeen

I like this music the video is great thanks a lot for sharing and keep on posting ;)

I have a harmonica in C 'harmonic minor' key that would go very well with this. Nice song Andy, you are weaving a theme through this collection of songs, I like!

Thanks mate. I see somebody seems to have chopped down the magic money tree! ;)

Brother, you always do a fantastic job. This really teetered between dark / pessimistic and optimism and potential for a bright future. Well done!!

Thanks! I guess that describes my general attitude quite well too.

I feel you. I go through the same thing. As I get older I am finding I don't censor myself and just let it out. Great job Brother!

Nice finger picking & a great chorus!

I also like your guitar ;)

Thanks! My guitar looks a bit beaten up these days, but still sounds ok.

It's a very good guitar... 😉

Looks like the 3 of us should start a Takamine club haha!

Mine's the same, so long as it plays that's the main thing :)

Yeah, a guitar's a tool, not an ornament to me :)

Great tune Andy. I'm a big fan of "Days Of The New" and this reminds of them mixed with the Beatles/Jim Croce. Thanks for sharing your original song buddy.

Thanks man! I haven't heard of 'Days of the New', but Jim Croce wrote Time in a Bottle didn't he?... that's a good song.

Yes, he wrote Time in a Bottle. I really liked your song Andy. Looking forward to your week 42.

Nice Song ... Carry On

You are awesome. Carry on
