Hi everyone. Today I wrote a song for Steemit about minnows, whales, upvoting and all sorts.
It's only 2 minutes, but who knows maybe it's the start of "Steemit The Musical".
Enjoy.
If you liked it please upvote and resteem.
Lyrics
There's some big fish here
Swimming in the sea
Big bellies on a feeding spree
Ferocious with their Steemit attitude
They want good content, soon it could be you
But they won't upvote a a rubbish meme
They won't upvote a picture of a dog
They won't upvote a photo of a chair
They won't upvote a copy and pasted article from wikipedia
No not that either!
But here's a message to all my minnow friends
Don't give up
Be true to yourself
Remember those whales were once small
Just like you, just like me, just like him, just like her
So spend time on your content, yes really do
It really matters that it was written by you
Connect with other Steemites, yes do reply
And you'll find followers that do see eye to eye
And in time, yes you will grow,
So will your friends and oh how well they will upvote
Yes Steemits good, yes Steemits great
Just persevere, don't just sit and procrastinate
And then one day you'll be.....a....
Big fish here
You'll be a big fish here
You'll be a big fish here
You'll be a big fish here
Thanks for watching.
this is incredible! please share on dtube.video
Hi mate,thanks, what's dtube?
dtube.video is a new video sharing platform built on the SteemIt blockchain. It is pretty cool.
today I also discovered LBRY, which looks like it was built specifically for content creators and their currency so far doesn't seem to depreciate, which is a threat I feel with Steemit.
Great video mate LOL.. We should get in the studio together.
Working progress...maybve I will finish it today^
"Yes Steemits good, yes Steemits great
Just persevere, don't just sit and procrastinate"
Haha that would be amazing. Your studio looks nice. I see your in LA, i'm from England so may be a bit far. But who knows, if I do well enough on here I might be able to afford the flights one day
With your talent, you may want to watch out for my WILD & STRANGE contest.
It progresses in rounds, where we turn a photo into artwork, the artwork into a meme, the meme into poetry, and then the poem into a song.
One winner from each round gets 50 STEEM and we use that winning entry to make the next round. You can check out a full example at the link below. Last season, every song submitted each got a 50 STEEM prize!

GREAT STUFF MAN! KEEP IT UP!
Sounds like a great contest. I like idea of the way it evolves. I'll have a look! I've followed you
Awesome, I do hope you are going to Steemfest 2.0 or an organiser needs to make sure this is played there. resteemed.
Cheers. Where is Steemfest 2.0 being held? I'm guessing in America somewhere?
Steem Fest 2.0 Lisbon Portugal
Great thanks!
Hahaha I laugh alone hearing and reading the lyrics! Excellent! :)
Ha glad you enjoyed it :)
cool
No YOU'RE cool!
Cheers
:)
Haha, cool song. I enjoyed it, but I also think that < sarcasm>rubbish memes, Wikipedia pages and chair photos are exactly what we need to be posting.< /sarcasm>
Haha when I was writing the song I genuinely went onto new posts to see what was being posted so it's a true story :D Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I can believe it, It's unreal some of the stuff I see...
Anyways, keep up the good work :)
Cheers :D
Excellent man, keep it up! Rubbish memes go to die on Steemit.
Ha there seems to be a lot though. "GO BACK TO INSTAGRAM" haha
Woots great song!
Ha cheers its just for fun
This is awesome! Good job! :D
Re-steeming this!
Nice one. Thanks I really appreciate the re-steem :D
Have another resteem, great work :)
Amazing thank you! Tis greatly appreciated! :)
I give you a piece of happiness,
Let in the souls light!
Do not kill in your heart a fairy tale,
I wish only HAPPINESS and VICTORY!
Nice I like it. An extra verse for the song :D
Yeah man. Realy good job! Deserves a resteem 👍
Thank you muchly appreciated :D
Nope, some whales weren't small, they signed up here, bought a lot of Steem and became stronger.
Yeah I've heard some people do that. Is that commonly done? Unfortunately I don't have the funds for that kind of shizzle
People who have money are doing this, most of us don't have money so, I guess its not common. I noticed 3 persons who did this, can't name them here :)
How can you tell? Just by how long they've been on and the amount of power? I guess it's not bad though, it's people investing their money into Steemit, so good for us all in the long run
Yup, not bad.
Nice job! Great tune! Enjoyed. You've got a great voice my brother. Up voted!
Thanks @stillwater. I appreciate the kind words and upvote! :D
Really great video man. It's very motivational! Just what I needed on this Monday morning. Can't lie either, its kinda stuck in my head now. Great work again man!

Cheers! :)
Psss! Mum is the word!
?? I don't understand, are you saying you're secretly my Mum? :/ Or just a Mum?
LOL - neither. Just a word play...
Haha sorry I just asked my girlfriend what Mums the word means and now i understand. I've never heard that saying before. Sorry for being a dumb dumb :O
Psshhh! Mom's the word.

OK @birdistheword
Got a little surprise for you. Used your original video and added an instrument + subs to it. Ok to post?
Great song buddy! I also initially thought steemit was a platform where you can share just about anything. I have also come to find out that content is key on here. I upvoted your post and followed you. I'll appreciate if you could check my blog out also. Thanks
I will do! Thanks for the upvote/follow! Steemit's great isn't it! That's why I felt I had to write a song
You are most welcome 😊 And thanks too
There's an @Vocalists-trail always looking for new talent. Comps and things.
Thanks I'll check it out, although singing isn't really my strong point :)
Great lyrics I actually learned a bit here!
Excellent that's what I was hoping for :)
Very cool, one day Im going to be a Whale
You WILL. And you will bask in the glory and the power!
