Melodious Music Memoirs # 49: "Your Future, Theirs & Mine" Part 6 (Original Song)

in originalmusic •  7 years ago  (edited)


Headphones are recommended, press play, scroll down, read the lyrics and enjoy the accompanying gifs.

This is a live performance of the collaboration me and @Beatseb have created together. He provided the powerful beat and I layered it with vocals. Enjoy the tree references and relevant wordplay. Be sure to go follow @Beatseb, check out his amazing tree art imagery and designs, as well as, more of his high quality original instrumentals. I hope to get out a professional recording of this in the near future, but for now, here it is rough, raw and uncut with an audio cameo from my sweet daughter Harmony in the background lol.

Full Song Lyrics and Due Credits provided below.

Verses 1 & 2 Written, Created & Performed by @Verbal-D


Full Song Lyrics


Verbal D
Verse 1:
Stay firmly rooted in faith and know your family tree
But don't bend to win(wind) approval, Body bows (boughs) to a breeze
Stand your ground for beliefs, Branching out and be leaf
And know you go against the grain, so growing pains can be deep

But we came from the dust, up from the gravel ingrained
So we just wash away the worries, let them fall with the rain
All glory to God, I can't deny that He reigns
Guides me safely through this journey, letting go of the reins

My mind was ill before, a stubborn, strong Sycamore
We have to care for each other just like a sick Amor
Through thin and thick, of course, ringing through the inner core
Hard to tell my age, when I circle around your winning horse

The thickest thicket's coarse, ripping with its bristles north
Don't be a thorn in my side, I'll break the center fourth
Unleash my inner spirit's flow, I'm 'bout to send it forth
With no remorse, I'll just be brushing off the biggest force...


Verbal D
Chorus:
Mother Natures grows & Father Time does chime
Cultivate their souls
Planting seeds in mind

Mother Nature grows & Father Time does chime
Care for young & old
Your Future, Theirs & Mine...


Verbal D
Verse 2:
Life isn't what it seems, it isn't Evergreen
The only Evergreen is greediness and envy seen
A certain neck of the woods would I connect with a being
But never Hollywood, Bollywood, I'm an Indie Scene

Life's not a movie, move between the seams of temple dreams
What's your complexion when you're facing such complexities?
Implanted memories will blossom out extremities
I stripped the bark of what is dark and fought with heart some entities

This world's ridiculous, cold and meticulous
You'll get lost up in these concrete jungles
A fossil bundle, caught up under moss and rubble
Rock and stumble onto barren spots not coniferous

Dog eat dog world, lockjaw it's carnivorous
Drown in waters tryna fly, Modern Icarus
Stay vigorous, not so belligerent, oblivious
That'll cut you down, gone, timber-less...


Verbal D
Chorus:
Mother Natures grows & Father Time does chime
Cultivate their souls
Planting seeds in mind

Mother Nature grows & Father Time does chime
Care for young & old
Your Future, Theirs & Mine...(x2)

@verbal-d great piece. We gotta make sure we're planting good seeds in this life. And if the ground isn't fertile then hit 'em with some Miracle-Know(ledge) 😄

Definitely, I completely agree @sean-b, glad you enjoyed this impacting composition. Thank you for listening and your wise words

Great input.
Thanks for sharing this

You're most welcome, thank you for listening

You have the energy flowing through you man!!!
... the 'daughter interlude' is also beautiful! Real Peace out!!!!

Thank you very much for checking this one out bro. Definitely appreciate your thoughts, glad to give out positive energy for you all. Yeah Harmony is very sweet and added extra depth and emphasis on presence of Family and importance of love for those we care for and take care of.
Much peace and many blessings

Man what a beautiful collaboration we brought to life..oh weee..I feel like an ignoramus right now for not being able checking this out earlier. I know the lyrics since the beginning when you started building up on them, till the final ones you sent me, but listening to them live through your slaying flow and the singing line makes this flourish into an organic and soulful masterpiece. I love everything about it and we definitely need to record this one properly..and your voice..oh my God man..it never occurred to me that you can sing that well and have that beautiful color, not to mention the skill to perform it so soulful. It seems like I've listened to this piece for the first time and fell in love with it immediately. Harmony did great as well, especially on the part she came in.. that was very sweet and a good sign to add some of her vocals, or children vocals in general on the final recording. ☺ Hands down brother..you did the track justice 100 % and I have to thank you for bringing up so much life into it. Respect is the least I can say..it's beyond that. One Love B.

I just saw this really fresh comment bro
Thank you so much for the love, respect and appreciation
I was super excited to hear back from you to hear what you thought of the song
And now it is all green lights ahead
We will not sleep on this track don't worry!

Yeah I was actually a singer before I started getting serious with the emceeing
So I do try and keep my voice up to par
and live performance is what it is all about

Can't just be a studio musician when it comes to showing music as an emcee/singer
Harmony made a memorable cameo indeed and I am glad she was in the video lol
Many thanks again bro, I was inspired by you, your fresh artwork, vibes and epic beat productions. We can do this again no problem! You got beats I got ideas all day everyday but definitely we will start to get this track into the works of professional presentation

God bless and one love indeed

@beatseb once again you blow me awayyyy!! Love you brother! Can't wait to hear the finished tune!!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thank you so much for taking your time to hear this one. I have so many more professionalized tracks like my Steemit and Bitcoin songs and many many ohers but I can’t wait to have this collab with @beatseb mapped out and mixed and mastered :)
I appreciate you for your kind words

Here is another fun quick Hip hop verse I wrote and did yesterday
