Steemit Open Mic Week 49 - Magic Window (Original Song)

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

A sleepless night made me find the Openmic contest and put up this video. Rough phone recording. No filters.

This song wrote itself about two years ago. It felt like it was floating in the air around me. I didn't know who exactly i was thinking about during the process but about half a year later I sat on a campfire in Thailand and I played this song to someone special saying: "I am so glad this song is already finished because otherwise I would have to write it for you now."

Enjoy.

Good song. Good rhythm. Good melodies. Good voice. Good Job! Upped for sure. Good luck this week.

Thank you! I appreciate it! :)

Well, thank goodness for sleepless nights!!! For me, this song and your performance are pure magic! Exquisitely sung, I loved it!

Wow. I am still really stunned by the reactions here. Thank you so much for the sweet words!

Eat it all up @melavie, you deserve every mouthful! :-)

👏👏👏👏👏 Beautiful song, really beautiful. There's a lot of great stuff happening on this open mic platform, however just occasionally a contribution appears and stamps "extra special" on your head with a branding iron! For me, this really is one such song. Beautifully written with a simple and memorable melody performed with a whole lot of soul by such a lovely voice. When I say thank you for sharing it, I mean it most sincerely. 👏👏👏👏👏

Wow. I'm really moved by your comment. This is the most beautiful thing I read today. THANK YOU!

Goosebumbs...

So biufitul!

happy for you my biufitul friend that you had such a nice welcome from the community :)

Keep on!

PS little suggest - you can also use tag "music" (you can use maximum 5 tags, the more, the better) and it is good to use the most popular ones, so more and more people can find you and enjoy your magic.

melavie might not be a popular tag yet, but I am sure after this it will be!

Haha thanks for the advice. I'm still very clumsy when it comes to digital behaviour. :D

You are a great inspiration to me my biufitul amiga!

Like it;) You're from germany? "Stromlos"? ;)

I speak german because I'm from Austria. Glad you liked it. :)

Just lovely. Thank you for sharing this piece of gem. I think this will stay with me for a while.

I wish this would be available on Spotify!

It's beautiful to hear that the song resonates with you! About Spotify. I am working on recording my music in a studio right now. It's just a question of time and money (because I like to keep my music independent). But I will let you know when I am there. Thank you for listening!

That's so great to hear. Please do. I'm following a project that could help independent artists like yourself gain funding they need. If anything ever comes out of it, I'll let you know.

Great! Thanks for the support. :)

Very Very good!!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the emotions that I felt listening your music, beautiful being.

Thank you for listening to my heart song!

Brilliant well done and thanks for bringing this to the table!!!

Thank you for listening! :)

Sleepless nights for me always brings out the artist in ourselves. The spirit can not rest till its expression is seen or heard. Melavie you need no filter, your voice have so much depth and wisdom, do not ever filter that. I am interested in knowing as well how did you get to Thailand? that would explain why that lovely song had to be completed. The person you sung it to really needed to hear those words to heal.

Travelling brought me to Thailand. Sometimes it happens that a song reveals its true meaning a long time after it was written. This one showed me the magic of meeting someone completely new buy harmonizing so well together from the very beginning. I discovered there it was written for all my relations. Through the short but very meaningful encounters you have when being abroad something made me recognize the power of being present and letting go. I spent a magical time there and I am still filled with gratitude when I think of it.
Thank you for listening closely.

You have a magical voice! I think I can go to sleep easy now ;)

You're welcome for the lullaby. :)
Thanks for listening.

Well thank you.

I love it! Where were you in #thailand btw? I lived there for 2.5 years and I loved every second of it! Great stuff. Following @melavie

I sat on a campfire in Pai. I is a beautiful El Dorado for musicians. I also travelled the south and the islands but I absolutely fell in love with the north. Where have you lived? Thank you for the support and the appreciation! :)

Pai might be my favourite place in Thailand. Its really special. Its good to hear you made it there. I lived in Phuket before, on Cape Panwa. But these days in living in Saigon, Vietnam.
