1st Place


Steemit OpenMic Week 81 - Break Out The Crazy - Down By The River (Original) --- by @breakoutthecrazy


I had wrote an epic review for your song and somehow it got deleted, annoying lol, but fortunately for me, this kind of entry speaks for itself. You truly belong in the top ranks of our Open Mic Community with another stunning original and you always have a place here with us. You both are creatively dynamic as you are sharply balanced in chemistry to give such great performances that you do. This song has well written lyrics with a deep self reflecting meaning, and soul gripping melodies layered with superb harmonies. Just as last week, I was stressing the clicker on my mouse as often as I pressed replay and sang along with you. We would make some fire gospel songs together :) Thanks for sharing this gem, definitely looking forward to what you bring in the future. - @verbal-d


*You guys are a fountain of creativity and sound so good together. I love this song and everything about it. Keep them coming guys! * - @luzcypher


Damn guys, this was one hell of a song and performance - just brilliant on every single level, the depth takes things to a soulful level and you guys delivered! - @krystle


What a song, What a performance to me this is one of those special treats, those gems that make this competition so special. The vocals are really top notch, the buildup and the intensity leave you wanting more and hitting replay out of sheer frustration because its over.

The lyrics were brilliantly crafted as well, this reminds me somewhat of VAST and their style of approaching religious, spiritual subjects. You can't help but to think, re read and see if you missed a message between the lines. - @meno


2nd Place


Steemit Open Mic Week 81 Stop N Think Original Nathan Kaye --- by @nathankaye


I also had a really intricate breakdown of your song but just as above, it too got destroyed in the time space continuum of the Internet Of Things. But I really love how you bring to the forefront a perfect intro that lays the groundwork for an energetically charged and powerfully moving song that challenges us to really question the manipulative and illusionary paradigms that plague the mind and drive us towards a more apathetic and insensitive sense of being that is detriment to the pure human existence as an individual as well as a member of a community, society and of the human race at large. Too many of our loved ones, family and friends swear by what they see on the TV and how their view has been shaped and molded by the man and the machine but if there ever was an anthem song to wake up the brainwashed masses being pulled down into the numbing darkness, this would be it. You sang with such conviction and intensity and that is was we love the most about you. You lay it all down on the line with a life changing message and an impacting masterpiece of music how you skillfully balance your instrumentation without loops or overdubs. So much respect and praise is deserved for the quality and inspiring music that you continue to put out. Thanks so much for another one for the playlist bro. Looking forward to what you share with us next. - @verbal-d


Open Mic's very own Nathan Kaye delivers again, as you can see from that first line I've officially claimed him in the name of our community. Aside from this performance being absolutely amazing, one of those "leave nothing for later" performances the message of the song is what is most powerful to me.

I've believed for quite a long time that its really up to us, musicians to bring a better message to this planet, to counter all the negativity the world seems to fiend for. I think Nathan does not only get it, but embraces the mission and like many of his song this one invites reflection and promotes positive change. What's not to love about it? - @meno


This song rattled my bones and set my soul on fire! Great stuff man! Loving every minute of it and can't wait for the next one. - @luzcypher



3rd Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 81 Sami D Barid Existence Original --- by @samidbarid


This is just stunning in every sense of the word, just an epic composition - masterfully executed and performed, I was enthralled just stuck there sitting and watching a little dumbfounded by what I was hearing.. - @krystle


Whoa... talk about a momentous display of melodious mastery. This is one entry not to be missed. It was superbly and fluidly performed with not so much as a slip of the finger on a wrong note. You truly are a commander of the piano and you composed an intricately beautiful song for us all to enjoy. Bravo and encore. You brought into existence something special and completely difficult for the average piano enthusiast to replicate and cover. Thank you for sharing this rapid fire gem of layered melodies, and looking forward to what other originals you have in your arsenal. - @verbal-d


Blown away by your playing man! Fantastic stuff and so talented! - @luzcypher


4th Place

Steemit OpenMic Week 81 – Desfado (Ana Moura) --- by @pedromrmourato


This is an eloquently beautiful Portuguese song and you @pedromrmourato set the catchy and flowing foundations of your guitar loops and percussions for your talented and passionate friend Mariline Hortigueira to sing the fateful melodies that speak on the many qualities and destinies of life in such an upbeat and feel good way, as opposed to the traditional, mournful and melancholic sounds Fado is embedded in. You play the guitar wonderfully as always and Mariline leads the song with poise and a contagious joy that all of us can sing and dance along to. Truly a song to cherish and we thank you for sharing one of your country's cultural gems with us. Looking forward to the next high quality entry as always. You never cease to amaze. - @verbal-d


You guys just keep bringing some amazing talent to the stage. I would book you anywhere, anytime. Loved your performance and look forward to hear more. - @luzcypher


What a brilliant performance, what a beautiful song. Of course its not like this is the first time @pedromrmourato submits a performance worthy of praise, but he seems to have a stash of talented musicians that join him in his musical ventures of a level that the most of successful of music producers would envy. - @meno

5th Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 81 Was It Right Original Song By Darrenclaxton --- by @darrenclaxton


Not only does Darren’s trusty home Porta-Studio get the job done like a boss, but his music is every bit as professional! I just love his guitar work, the lyrics, and damn, his hooks here have all the hallmarks of a classic! - @passion-ground


What a beautiful song and performance! Well played and pulled me right in from start to finish. You really have an amazing collection of songs and look forward to the next one. - @luzcyher
