Hey you Steemzey little Openmic punks
I wrote this song yesterday and recorded to share very firstly with YOU.
I was missing the Songwriters Challenge, but then yesterday the inspiration hit me and I just had to put this one into play. Thank you Openmic peeps for helping me to unlodge the musical boat. I'm-a-sailin' ...AND I'm wearing shades to prove it.
Astral Blessings, as always x
Okay HEAR it is:
LYRICS:
My mother called on the telephone
She said, hey remember that boy you used to know?
I went to see him late one afternoon
He wasn't so bad, but he has forgotten you
She said 'he's sick in the head
He didn't mean what he said'
But I think I know him better than you
More than I was meant to
And I'm sorry it wasn't my mistake
that my father left us too
Forgive them, they know not what they do
Forgive me, as I have forgiven you
What's the name of that boy again?
I'll take a stab in the dark and say Sebastian
But please don't tell anyone
Just in case he hears me and thinks I'm making fun
He'll say I manipulate and try to play his mind
I thought you knew me better than that
It's making me so sad
And I'm sorry it wasn't my mistake
If it was, I'd bring you back
Forgive them, they know not what they do
Forgive me, as I have forgiven you
Please, let's put an end to the fight
I don't want to stand here and argue all night
And I've said it many times
The apologetic line
I'm sorry it wasn't my mistake
If it was, I'd make it right
Forgive them, they know not what they do
Forgive me, as I have forgiven you
I'm sorry it wasn't my mistake
If it was, I'd make it right
...Thanks for tuning in °•○☆
really love your voice and your lyrics are great great great!! loved it

What a stunning soundscape you've painted. I love that dissonant crash of a chord around 3:19, just before "I'm sorry..." Yeah, I agree with @lillym about the Fiona Apple vibe. I like this you you're showing here. So unique. So talented. So pleasantly deep.

Interesting and quite lovely composition, Sazzler! I can't help but hear a hint of "Basil" influence in some of the melody structures. Great performance and I love the shades, and your hair! :-)

Thanks PG! Definitely a good hair day, and there's probably endless hints of Basil in my life and creative expression - of all of my inspirations, he is the absolute coolest. Strangely, some of the melody structure was inspired by an 80's song, 'Sign Your Name' by Terence D'Arby, the bridge goes D, A, C#.

I don't really understand this, but I like it. Great chords! It reminds me a bit of Moriarty too, is there an influence there?

Haha thanks! I think I have heard of Moriarty, but no, not a direct influence. I will check them out. Peace out bro x (the song is about being affected by a situation which isn't your fault, but wishing it was so you could take the blame, apologize and make it all better.) x
