Steemit open mic week 45 - Original song " pond (with a thousand pennies) "

branhmusic (57) in openmic • 7 years ago

Hey steemians. this is my entry for this weeks open mic. Its a song i wrote a few months ago called " Pond (with a thousand pennies) ". A pond with a thousand pennies is how i see my self. I see myself as the pond and the thousand pennies are all the dreams i have that are not coming true at the moment. Some of the lyrics talk about the things i don't like about modern life but the main point of the song is about having a lot of dreams that are not coming true at the moment. As sad as the song might be i hope you enjoy it.

I completely forgot which week it was at the start of the video so i had to keep it in their because it made me laugh.

Lyrics,

(Verse)

I don't believe
In hopes and dreams
They always seem
To pass me by
Never get my hopes up
When things look bright
I just keep my mouth shut
Till the feelings right

(Chorus)

The smoke will fade away oh
With hopes of many
Im a pond with a thousand pennies

(Verse)

If you've got dreams
You won't get far
Thats what they teach
To get what they want
Creating machines
To create machines
Well it makes life seem
So dead to me

(Chorus)

The smoke will fade away oh
With hopes of many
Im a pond with a thousand pennies

(Bridge)

I don't feel the same
Im labelled as insane
But I'm not no I'm not afraid

(Chorus)

The smoke will fade away
With hopes of many
Im a pond with a thousand pennies
Im a pond with a thousand pennies
Im a pond with a thousand pennies

I remember when there was only a bar phone in the bar.
During performances like that, the bartender would put the phone on the counter. The bar was always pin drop quiet immediately after. But the sincerity of the audience when they tell you how you touched them during that moment.....is Y we need more places with just one phone?

Hey man good point. There are still some venues in Sheffield UK at least where people know it's about the music. I'm not sure we're ever gonna get back to the land of one phone per bar. Maybe just having a sign up asking people to turn their ringers and vibes off would help. :-)
