Steemit Open Mic Week 67: Traffic Light Blues (An Original)

byrongrant (50) in openmic • 7 years ago

Hi Steemers

This is my first entry for the steemit open mic competition! This song was written while I was staying in Sydney last year and the lyrics came to me after a long evening walk through the suburb of Surry Hills. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks

Sounds awesome man! Love that touch of reverb on your vocal, brings the performance right out! You sound like someone I can't quite put my finger on. I'm thinking 10cc maybe.

byrongrant (50) · 7 years ago

Hi @thesimpson, cheers for your comment. Yes the reverb really helps sustain the vocal part and adds a greater sense of space to the performance.
