Steemit open mic week 128 - So long (original) @graemesaxton
This is my first entry for the open mic contest, original song I wrote about moving on.
So long
I tried my best to walk away, but my best doesn't get me far somedays
I tried my best to leave you alone, and try to remember what we had is long gone
I guess it's times to let you go, I'm sorry I held on so long
I think I've known all along that I don't blame you at all
You tried your best to make it clear, and I tried just as hard to pretend I couldn't hear it
I tried my best to feel the same, but I remember how we were you remember how we became
I guess it's time to let you go, I'm sorry I held on so long
I think I've known all along, that I don't blame you at all
When your unstoppable faith met my immovable doubt
You forgot your tendency to whisper, and me my need to shout
I guess it's time to let you go, I'm sorry I held on too long
I think I've known all along, none of this was your fault
I think I've know all along, I don't blame you at all
I guess it's time to let you go, I'm sorry I held on too long
This is wonderful man, especially for a first entry. You are really at ease and killing it. Good job man.
Thank you so much dude, I was actually mad nervous. Glad it didn't show haha
Was pretty great

I loved the lyrics and you sung it so well. To be frank, I did not expect to listen to such a beautiful soft music. It was refreshing.. :)
I also see that this is your first post on steemit. So congrats for getting curie vote on it. It's definitely an amazing start. Moreover, I also think that you should consider making a #introduceyourself post. Almost everybody does it before posting anything here. It helps to familiarise you with the community.
Welcome to steemit and have a great day!
Thank you so much for the kind words... frank (haha). And thanks for the advice, but be careful what you wish for because I'm working on a introduction post right now, and it's literally the dumbest anyone has ever talked to a camera in the history of looking dumb. I'm commited now though so stay tuned it should be uploaded soon. Thanks for listening though man, I really do appreciate it so much.
Your intro post doesn't have to be a video bro.Most folks cant talk natural to the camera like me :).The intro post is just to sort of describe who you are and what you do.That said if you do a intro video talk for a few minutes then give us a song you'll likely get a much better payout than the average intro post.
Most welcome. Sometimes, I also enjoy listening to dumb things. They have their own story to tell. All the best 😉

Keep up the outstanding work!
I'm genuinly lost for words. Thank you so much Gene!
@graemesaxton, Just awesome brother and these words hold the feelings of deep Realisation and Understanding which we see very less nowadays in this Materialistic world. Keep up and never leave your world of words and music. Stay blessed.
