Collaboration in Music - Steem CONQUERS all creative BOUNDARIES! - #SSCP and me

I think I was probably the first one to write lyrics for the Steemit Song Collaboration Contest (more than a month ago according to slack!), but the very last in line on getting it up. I resteemed and did outreach for this contest, because I thought and think it is a FANTASTIC idea - I'm just very new still about this public performance stuff! Rest assured I have fiddled with these lyrics for HOURS over the last month ;p

You look pretty comfortable to me!

I would like to give a huge shout-out to @tim-rumford for thinking up this brilliant idea for connecting people around the world. Remember, this is just phase one, and whoever the winner is, we all will get a chance to make a collaborative song promoting steem, TOGETHER!

Here's my video!

(Yes I did say Steemit Collaborative Song contest and not Steemit Song Collaboration Contest)

I absolutely LOVE to write, poetry and lyrics included, which is probably why I have loved Steem so much - it helps draw the creativity out and gets it onto the blockchain! But Steem has even encouraged me to sing in public; this is something that I have been working on overcoming for a long time!

Here are my wonderfully original lyrics! And a working title:

Steem-la-di, Steem-la-da

Verse 1

Steemit is a platform where we host our blogs
and meet with dif'rent people far 'n wide.
Blogging on our own sites we worked like dogs,
but now with Steemit - we sing along with pride!

Chorus x2

XD, OMG
Steem goes on, POST!
Nah nah nah nah
Life steems on

Verse 2

Motivated now we are to write engrossed,
Steemit helps articulate our dreams
Then @curie says to author, 'Man, I like your post!'
And suddenly we're floating in daydreams!

Chorus x2

Bridge

In a couple of years we'll have built a home sweet home.
Welcoming in Facebook's millions,
we'll all be whales now (har har har har)

Verse 3

@papa-pepper posts about wild animals
@jerrybanfield helps us advertise
@accelerator curates the new minnows
Follow @ecotrain: you're in for a surprise!

Chorus x2

Bridge

Verse 4

Motivated now we are to write engrossed,
Steemit helps articulate our dreams
Then our friends start leaving comments on our posts
Steemit is much more than just machines!

Chorus x2

Ready for the best part? The working title, 'Steem-la-di, Steem-la-da'
roughly translated from Spanish means:
I gave to Steem, Steem gives back
Love and Light!
