Steemit Open Mic Week 44 I Want Home (original song)
Hi there fellow Steemians
This was written while touring the UK with a country/rock band. heavy snow meant we were unable to get to some of the gigs (or the venue seats lacked bums for the same reason!) Anyway, I soon realised that living the dream of being a touring band in the UK isn't necessarily what you might imagine.
I hope you like it
p.s. I thought this might be a good opportunity to experiment with the new "looper pedal" birthday prezzie. I've a bit to learn yet... 😊
I Want Home
Saturday night and the band’s not playing
Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing right
The club’s been gone ages or that’s what they’re saying
I want home wanna be there tonight
The bright lights may lure you to all the wrong places
When the comfort you’re seeking is so hard to find
And the city’s so busy, a sea of sad faces
I want home, wanna be there tonight
Too many nights working and waiting
Too many miles to get back to you
The choices we’re making and calling it freedom
You said it was something that we had to do
Far in the distance a siren is wailing
A problem for someone that I’ll never know
But I stop for a moment, ‘cause I know you’ll be waiting
I want home, wanna be there tonight

Thanks there Aaron... Damn fine instruments are Takamine. 👍
Very nice fingerstyle you've got there. You were reccomended to me by @lloyddavis. Upped and followed. Struggling fingerstyle player here.

Nice playing and lyrics! Love the vibe :) keep on posting!
Cheers Nick.
Yes, and yet another "thumbs-up" Mr. Geoff... Loved it Mate!
Oh, and Happy Birthday to you!
Thanks there mate. Without wanting to sound too much like a mutual appreciation society, I have just seen your wk44 contribution and I don't know why you don't just tell it how it is! 😂😂😂
Wow, 1966/7 Buffalo Springfield... the memories came back in floods! Well done to you.
Your finger style is amazing. I love what you do. Beautiful lyrics and song. Thank you for sharing. Keep rocking.
Peace and love !!!
Thank you kindly there. 😊
Thank you again for sharing your music with us.
Hi there Luzcypher,
Did you see my query re the apparent non payment of "original " bonus for wk 42?

While it's not a major issue, I was wondering if it was a technicality or something or f it was something I had omitted maybe? 😉
👍🏻👍🏻 i'll have to pay attention to your playing, I need guitar lessons in a major way.
Thanks for saying. TBH, if I had been born with a respectable set of vocal chords, I may not have learnt the guitar!
This is a beautiful song @steelygeoff !
Thanks mate. I've just woken up (UK!) and checked out the openmic. Just heard yours (see replies) 👍
Sounds perfect , Nice Vocal and Great playing Guitar , good job man ! you did the best ;)
Cheers David, thanks for the enthusiastic comments. 😊
