OPEN MIC WEEK 74: "Beauty and the Beast" cover

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

Coming in at the last minute is my entry for this week's Open Mic. I was ill the last week or so, so didn't think I'd get this in, and also missed contributing to the Voices of Open Mic (but might still try to do that tomorrow)--but here we are at the last minute.

I really enjoyed singing this. It's one of my very favourite movies from my time as a child.

"Beauty And The Beast"

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

Beauty and the beast

Thanks for listening. One more thing!

I would love if you would take a few minutes (you can listen while you scroll or write!) to listen to the songs I've recently put on Dsound. These are album-quality tracks that I released in November (blood, sweat, and tears, people--truly!), but they are available for free download because I wanted you to have them. It was a hard decision to release them, but I really wanted to be able to share them with you.

Here are the direct links: "Weary" and "Heart for You"

xx,
Kay

I love this song. You made it your own. Very passionate singing, and you look so into it. Lovely performance. I wish I could play the guitar. I play keyboards a little bit, and I sing too. It's lovely meeting fellow singers/musicians here on steemit :)

Hey - thank you so much. That's very kind of you - you'll find that Steemit has an amazing and growing music community that is really supportive. I'll try to check out your stuff in a minute here! So sorry for the late reply!

You're welcome and thanks. Hope you like my covers.

You have an amazing voice! Fits perfectly to the song.
Thanks for that great cover :)

Thank you! Sorry for the late response - very glad you enjoyed. How has your first week or so been here?

So far so good. I'm curious how this community works. So far I've already had very nice conversations with likeminded people :)
Any tips how to gain traction on Steemit?

Aw, love this song :) And you sing it beautifully of course. I will definitely check out your songs at the end.
Finally got my brother putting his music on here, ha, a year long push paid off ;)

HI! Can't believe I missed responding - right after I read this and went and found your brother and upvoted/commented.. but didn't come back to you! lol! Soooo sad!

Hope you are well!

I look forward to your entries on #openmic every week. This one did not disappoint. Loved it!

Aw, that's honestly one of the nicest things you could say! I almost didn't contribute this week, but am glad I did now just for that :)

I love your personality!

That's a sweet thing to say!

Amazing! I loved the movie too as a child. You did Amazing! 💙

Thank you. There is just something so haunting and beautiful about the story. A classic. xx!

Very nice!

Beautiful! From my favorite princess movie. 😊 I also like the song from Rapunzel...I see the light. Maybe a future video for you?

Ugh. I missed responding to all of these lovely comments! Forgive me! My favourite, too :). I don't know that one - I'll look it up :)

That's beautiful, thank you!

You are very welcome. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
