Steemit Open Mic Week 74 - Neither Here Nor There (Original) - Tom Ash

in openmic •  7 years ago 

Hey guys. After a couple of weeks absence, I'm back with an entry for this week's Steemit Open Mic!

This song is the first piece I ever wrote when experimenting with alternative tunings. I actually pretty much created my own unique tuning for this song and I've stuck with it ever since! I hope you enjoy :)

LYRICS:

I thought we were alright,
Then we'd have another fight.
It's easier to ebb and flow.

And I tried to convince myself,
I could settle for second best,
But it's easier to be on your own.

Suddenly the walls begin to bleed,
And I'm not sure if I'm happy anymore,
I don't care, but I'm neither here nor there,
I'm out of love, and I know it,
I'm feeling so alone.

I feel so alone.

All I ever wanted was to be loved,
But all I ever needed was to give love.

Suddenly the walls begin to bleed,
And I'm not sure if I'm happy anymore,
I don't care, but I'm neither here nor there,
I'm out of love, and I know it,
I'm feeling so alone.

I feel so alone.


Peace, love, music, crypto.

Tom

Realy nice tune, best things in life happen by accident. I finished composing something that started more then 10 years ago and was also in a wierd tuning. Now i consider it one of my best music pieces. All i am aaying is when u try to do something different and succeed it is the best saddisfaction ever ;) Good job again

Hey @tomista, cheers!

Haha that's so true, all the best inventions are accidental!!

I had a lucky take - normally my voice doesn't behave itself so well!

Outstanding, Sir Tomas! Nice, brother!

Thanks, @passion-ground !

Wow dude! I really enjoy this kind of talent, beautiful harmony, perfect guitar finger style, and your voice is awesome too.

Nice to find good musicians in here, I realize that there is a lot for learning, thanks for your post.
