Steemit Open Mic week 95 - Early Morning Light - Original Song by Darren Claxton

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)



Good morning world!
Here's my Open Mic entry this week!


This is one of my favourite songs that I've had the pleasure of creating!
After yesterday's ADHD news, I've woken up with a differs t attitude to my new label and will embrace the marvels that it brings!
I hope you enjoy this song as much as I have creating it.

Early Morning Light was written as I came out of the depression that had plagued me for so long. I opened the curtains one morning and thought to myself, how lucky I really was to have such an amazing support network of people around me, the place we live in and for actually waking up breathing! If you wake up in the morning, it's a bonus, you're lucky to be alive because, someone, somewhere in the world is taking their last breath, so go and breath that air, get that help you need to feel great again, deal with those demons that are driving you crazy! Like @prc says 'Music is What Feelings Sound Like' and these are mine.

Thanks for listening, your comments and kind votes. They are all very motivational for me and just push me to produce more music for us all to enjoy.


Lyrics:

A long time now to know
Wasted all my highs and lows
Pulled apart my head and it shows
Save me now, or go

Poles apart, unkind
Far beyond, my mind
Studied hard to find
Close the door you crossed the line
Where are you now? far behind

Early Morning lights, divine, I know
Safely locked inside, for now, it shows
Think of sometime, when you felt, alone
What you're feeling now
Is just slow Mo, slow mo

I survived and the battle ends
Soul is safe, caressed
Full of heart, depends
Change your life start again
Win the fight, the battle ends

Early Morning lights, divine, I know
Safely locked inside, for now, it shows
Think of sometime, when you felt, alone
What you're feeling now
Is just slow Mo, slow mo

Slow motion
Slow motion


Cheers
Darren
