Dear Steemies of the Steemiverse, before I take a week off I would like to leave you with a song that I wrote last year. Its been a few weeks since Ive openmiced (opened mice?) because Ive been shockingly busy recently. There is WAY too much stuff jangling around in my brain at the moment....and in all honesty, its not likely to let up much over the next few months.
But forwards we must strive
This song was written while lying on a hot beach....... Its a nice memory
Here are the lyrics:
What if the sun didnt shine
What if the wind never blew
Would I still be me
And would you be you?
If the sky didn't meet the ocean blue
Would you still love me the way you do?
What if the birds stopped singing
And the bees stopped too
Would we still believe that the truth was true?
If the flowers turned grey
And nothing else grew
Would you still love me the way you do?
Tell me
Tell me baby true
You know
You know that I love you
What if everything changed
Or broke in two
Would we still know what we thought we knew?
If space cracked open and time fell through
Would you still love me the way you do?
Tonnes of love at you all
Basil x
p.s. if you don't know what Im up to next week yet, then check out my last post !! I'll give you a clue: Its the reason I currently have a mustache and sideburns!
Nice song, glad I spotted you in the mass of entries. I seem to miss out on a lot of the 'songwriting crew' entries recently.
Have fun in the past and hopefully find your way back into the future! Need a DeLorean by chance?Or will the trusty Tardis do?

Hey time traveller, I just came here because I haven't seen you in my feed for a long time! Where are you? Still in the sixties? You said you would be gone for about a week, but it's three months now...
Just letting you know that people (=me) are noticing you're not here... ;)
You do look like a Beatle in this clip indeed, so maybe you never came back...

ahhh, this is a lovely message to find! its nice to know my absence hasnt gone unnoticed :)
It turns out that traversing the spacetime continuum is a little more complicated than just nipping back to the sixties for a week.....hehe. I have had a lot on my plate recently, and despite theoretically WANTING to post on steemit, I just havn't been able to. I am a very inconsistent person and if my heart isnt in it I just can't bring myself to do it..... however I have just recently been inspired by the steemit monsters game! haha! so Im going to try to post something this week for a competition theyre running.... but this time, I won't even be in our current reality at all! x lots of love. I hope youre well :) basil

Ahhh, I wish I had seen the movie post in time to resteem it and spread the word about the Kickstarter. My online time is currently too limited to get through my feed on a regular basis. Oh the life of a busy bee blogger... As for the song, thanks for sharing! It has me wishing I were on a beach listening to it :)

I loved this Basil! Your comment, “I’m going to play it for you now, so sit tight,” was so reminiscent of something the Beatles would have said back in the day, that I simply had to point that out! Loved this, man!
