Steemit Open Mic Week 110: "Burn One Down" (Ben Harper Cover) by @k0wsk1

in openmic •  6 years ago  (edited)


What's happening ya'll! I have a new Steemit Open Mic video to share with you guys, brace yourselves because it's pretty silly... lol. Had a good time with keying colors out, which you can probably even see from the thumbnail. I multitracked this cover yesterday, and recorded some videos for it today. I hope you enjoy this classic Ben Harper tune, spark up a bowl or a blunt while you watch if you're feeling the vibe!

Original Track:

Lyrics:

Let us burn one from end to end
And pass it over to me my friend

Burn it long, we'll burn it slow
To light me up before I go

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

My choice is what I choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm
It shouldn't bother you

Your choice is who you choose to be
And if your causin' no harm
Then you're alright with me

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

Herb the gift from the earth
And what's from the earth
Is of the greatest worth

So before you knock it try it first
You'll see it's a blessing
And it's not a curse

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one, uh

Gear Rundown:

Acoustic Taylor 114ce Guitar
Focusrite Scarlett 18i20
Yamaha Jazz Kit
Fender Squire 5-String Bass
Various Conga Drums

Dude this is great. Great performance and great video of a great tune. Don’t be disapointed if they don’t accept it as an open mic submission though, I did a really similar thing with my entry for my original “sensory deception” and it was rejected because it wasn’t live enough.
At least you got the ever elusive dtube vote though :) great work brother.

Thanks a lot @shookriya!! :) I specifically asked Luz about multitracked music in the Open Mic awhile back, he said as long as it's Steemians making music he didn't mind much... I wonder if there's still some debate about that. Either way, thanks for your support m8!

I accept it :) it was great indeed

Nice. I’m glad for that.

If that’s the case I’m really confused as to why my entry was not accepted. I assumed it was because the video was not live enough since every thing else was the same as I usually do with multitracking. I did use some synth stuff I programmed but I see people using backing tracks on here all the time so I’m sure that wasn’t an issue.

I’d love to do some more creative stuff like this but I’m afraid it won’t be accepted.

Any way you might help me out by taking a quick look for me?

Hi @k0wsk1. I know it's disrespectful to write here, in this publication, but I do not see another way. My name is José Coraspe and together with my colleagues I have a group called Primera Fila. This group will give a pop music concert in December and I had an idea, absurd from some points of view, in which I ask some people to make a video clip inviting people for that concert, and as Steemit has been a great help for us I thought about asking that help from the most influential people of this platform, and for me you are ... I know it is absurd but nothing I lose with trying, I hope your answer ... We are from Venezuela

Everytime I watch one of your vids I get blown away! Mega talented and this was so fun! Great job on this cover and your creativity was definitely on point! I bet the "Fire" helped lol Good luck! :)

Thank you so much for your kind words :) Lol yeah, lots of weed was harmed in the making of this video

Multitrack stuff is EXACTLY what I want to do.

You opened my eyes, thanks!

Right on, do it up!!! You have an audio interface/mic?

Np b, thanks for stopping by :)
