Steemit Open Mic Week 75 - Lowdown City (Original)
I want to start writing more. I figure the only way to do that is to do it. So here is my first attempt at songwriting in a while. I plan on doing more and posting on here so that I can look back at these videos and hopefully see some progression in my songwriting both lyrically and musically.
Sometimes I go out walking
Don't know where I'm going to
Sometimes I go out walking
Don’t know where I'm going to
I'm walking through lowdown city
Mama what am I to do?
Lord knows everybody
Has a little hard luck sometimes
Lord knows everybody
Has a little hard luck sometimes
But lemme ask you this one question
That I can't get off my mind
If the whistle on the steam train
Blowed a thousand hours long,
Would that be enough time baby
For me to fix what I've done wrong?
Lord knows
I've done the best that I could
Lord Knows
I've done the best that I could
Now I'm lost in lowdown city
But otherwise I'm doing good
loved it!!!ur forgiven for the harmonica ;) great tune swag on the vocal
I'm a longtime harmonica player, and fan of anyone who plays.. I very much enjoyed your playing and I'd love to see more videos of you playing it. Sorry I'm commenting so much on your videos I just am really enjoying them and there's nobody in my house to talk to.
No need to apologize haha. I like comments. Do you have any videos on here that you play harmonica in? I'd love to hear it. I love the harmonica too, it's definitely one of my favorite sounding instruments. It's deceptively difficult to play too.
Style points ;) (consider: never start a song with an apology)
Thanks, that's a good tip. I didn't like the intro of this video very much but I didn't want to record it again just for that. I already had to record a couple of times because I kept messing up the harmonica lol
I like the intro it's adorable
Nice song. Keep spirit
