Listen here: https://dsound.audio/#!/@darrenclaxton/20180323t223421754z-never-grow-old-track-5-from-the-never-grow-old-ep

Wow what an absolutely beautiful and inspirational song from @darrenclaxton.

"Summers last forever. When I was a boy."

Ay what relatable and deep lyrics that moves. Sounds like such an ideal song for spring and summertime to play outside while enjoying the beautiful weather and activities.

Your voice is incredible and so smooth. Definitely raised my vibrations to such an uplifting and positive level.

Thanks for sharing this art with the community.

@shakazula - "Lo-fi Piano Beat"

Listen here:

What a creative and captivating piece of music content from @shakazula. Love how he shows his process of making a piano-laden beat in such a fun and engaging way.

The finger-drumming king of Steemit strikes again with this one. That piano is so rich and beautiful and the way you incorporate the drums (which we can see) is epic.

Miss seeing and hearing you in the #beatbattle . Absolutely love this content that @shakazula puts out for the world to enjoy. Keep on finger-drumming o weeeee.

@spawnband - "Society"

Listen here: https://dsound.audio/#!/@spawnband/20180323t163924910z-spawn-society

Woahhhhhhh what a cross genre hit the @spawnband has with this one.

What a cross-genre hit and love how the @spawnband sets the tone of the song with those samples and the instruments they use in the first 1:10. Love how the vocals come in so strong at 1:15 and talking about such important and world events/issues. And that metal vibe around 2:20 yesssssssssss. And around 4:00 what a way to melt our faces o weeeee.

Appreciate you creating this song that touches on such important points about society today. What a way to raise interest and attention to societial issues. Much love and respect for this one o weeeee.

@sotirisaposta - "Chopin Revolutionary etude"

Wow what a peaceful and uplifting tune from a newbie Steemian.

@sotirisaposta takes us on quite a ride with his piano playing . Love this perspective of some classical music and wow does the etude he plays resonate with the soul.

Appreciate you sharing your progression on the piano and letting the community enjoy this beautiful performance. Thanks again and good luck here on Steemit.

Listen Here: https://dsound.audio/#!/@ahya/20180323t140240287z-ahyar-band-jawaban-dari-langit

Wow what an absolutely beautiful tune from @ahyar.

That guitar sets the tone right away and then wham those beautiful vocals come in at 0:40. What an uplifting tone they have. And so much passion behind them (like at 1:41).

Love those instruments around 2:11 what a soothing sound. And the you hit us with those beautiful vocals again at 2:42. What a song and you don;t need to understand the language to understand the beauty in this song.

Thanks for sharing and inspiring @ahya.
