Open Mic Songwriters Challenge Week 5 | "Wind Swept Shore" (Original Song)
Hello Openmic lovers 😄
This is our first ever entry for the Openmic or Songwriting Challenge on Steemit I am Ivan Atman, and the girl drumming with me is my beautiful 8 months pregnant wife Ava Atman 💗, I've written and arranged this song yesterday and recorded it today, finishing few hours ago. I've done this solely for the challenge and did it from scratch, without using or re-configuring any of my previous songs, check out my lyrics below and god bless.
LYRICS
Remember the days
You wouldn't tell anyone
How me and you
Met under the moon
Created the bond
That still lives on
At the beach of Peru
With a wind swept shore
This wind swept shore
I was afraid for awhile there
Reaching for you
Sheding my dues
From me to you
And now we...
Carry, we carry this bond
With it our hearts go stronger
We design our fortitude

I am having a lot of appreciation to this community so far and am thankful for the likes of people such as @luzcypher and @chiefmappster for creating weekly contests on Steemit so the musicians such as myself can be a part of this growing community and have creative fun while meeting like minded people. This contest is how I actually discovered Steemit, this summer while I was watching a openmic video from my friend @dandelion that he shared on facebook, I got interested in this community but postponed my involvement in it cause I had so many other things to tend to.
Myself and Ava both come from a beautiful country of Croatia where we live in a coastal province Dalmatia near the city of Split, I will setup my #introduceyourself soon and introduce us fully, but in short we are both artist and freelancers that are avid couchsurfing and workaway hosts that believe in the emancipation from the system, we are green anarchists that are slowly developing a small eco-village for that same purpose, more on that in the the full introduction we will make soon.
You can contact us via our Couchsurfing and Workaway links if you ever need a place to stay or make an event around our vicinity.

Hello Ivan Atman,
Just a quick note.
Using irrelevant tags, especially popular tags, makes it hard to find good and relevant content.
Please try to use only relevant tags when posting.
#introduceyourself / #introducemyself
The “introduceyourself/introducemyself” tag is for creating a post that tells us about you. Users are encouraged to use this tag exclusively for that, and not to reuse it.
More Info: Abuse Guide - 2017.
Dear @steemcleaners if you had read the post throughout you would see that this is also an introduction post, I combined Open-mic post as an pre-introduction post because it is our first video on Steemit, I hope that in the future as an admin of steemit community you will be more carefull
If you read our comment you would see that the introduceyourself tag is meant to be used once, not reused over and over again. You have used the tag multiple times now, please refrain from using it in the future as you have been introduced a good number of times now :)
This is my mistake @steemcleaners sincerely, I wasn't aware I used them that many times in the past, probably when I've just got to Steemit first week I misused the tag until I've read about it, on this post I've used it just because I have introduced myself in it, I am yet to make a full #introduceyourself and will do it after holidays, will you flag me for that?
be good
@supermiaou no no refrain from this kind of comments it will get you flagged quick edit/delete the comment I am serious, be polite hahah
i will be polite
you know it was meant to be affectuous
I LOVE YOUR SONG MAN
