Open Mic Week 63: ORIGINAL SONG "Only Ever You"

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

This is a song about love, and about letting go when you need to--as that's sometimes what real love demands. This song is an original, and a favourite among fans.

I spent some time away from Steemit focusing on getting an album finished, and desperately needed a new laptop.. so I was out of the groove for a while, and therefore also the Open Mic weeks.. but happyhappyhappy to be back in gear now.

Excited to be back!

Lyrics below. And I so appreciate your support :).

Only Ever You

We spoke like lovers with the years long gone
Every word between was like the flicker of a song
Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now

Only just a moment did you take to win my trust
But I cut myself away like the way I knew I must
Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now
Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now

This heart was tried and true
With only ever you
The memory black and blue
But sweet because of you
I know still what I knew
That only ever you
Would ever only be
Only ever you

I know that love is often letting go
But how do you release the blood from in your bones?
Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now
Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now

{Chorus}
So this is how it feels
To love without reserve
This is how it feels
To love

{Chorus}

Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now
Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now
Oh, I loved you then and oh, I love you now

Xx!
Kay

very familiar voice, nice song.

Thank you so much! Very kind of you to say :). Do you sing?

Yes I do! I've been doing a series of digital busking, i'm just starting it but I like the idea. I can busk and make some money without having to go out into the cold! Also the openmic weekly is a great opportunity for exposure. Looking forward to see what you play in the future!

I'll also have to check out yours! Have to get to bed just now, but will try to remember in the morning :).

Btw, where else do you "digitally busk" besides Steemit? :)

Steemit is pretty much the only place I have found as an outlet for digital busking, I do have a soundcloud called DeathByTetris but its mainly my experiments in music production and i'm yet to have a pound thrown in my case from it haha

We should start getting "digitalbusking" to be a common tag.. some cross-pollination could help us all :)

I think I already have.

Other people are using it?

That's exactly what I talked about here a few months back: https://steemit.com/music/@kayclarity/why-steemit-is-basically-the-busking-of-the-internet-top-10-list

It's pretty fun on here, hey?? Big smile to you! Have a good weekend! Xx, Kay
