Here's my creation for both Steemit OpenMic Week 65 & Songwriter's Challenge Week 5. It seemed easier to write a song about this theme (more so than the previous 2) despite it being so vague.
It will be interested to see what the feedback is on this one. I felt like the performance was a lot better (not necessarily the song tho). My Week 64 entry was super rough however, for that one I received some very encouraging feedback regarding the song lol, so I wonder...
I also broke my first string on this guitar during one of the earlier takes, so I've added in some photos for shits and giggles.
The Carnage
My Shitty String Change
Meet Me on the Shore – Jay Sussman
V: We left ourselves on the wind swept shore
A place we’d never been before
Held up there and it felt so right
Slept all day and stayed up all night
And when we left parted ways
Swore we’d meet again one of these days
It’s been some years still see your face
I hope that you still feel the same
C: Meet me on the wind swept shore
So I can hold you in my hands once more
And we can make it feel so right
Sleep all day and stay up all night
V: Meet me here just like before
Where the wind blows strong as the waves hit shore
Cause when we’re here we feel it more
And there’s nobody else we’d ever come here for
So pack your bags and sail towards
Where I am and I’ll make sure
That we will make it feel so right
Sleep all day and stay up all night
B: Well I’m trying to let you through
But you know that’s not so easy to do
When there’s so much uncertainty
If you and I are really meant to be
