I’ve never been a star, but I’ve always heard music, and knew that it was embedded into every facet of my life. When I chose my Steemit name, “itsallasong”, my intent was to post about music and how deeply it has been part of my life. Though, I didn’t know how to do it.
But tomorrow, I will finally make my first attempt to participate in the Open Mic Contest. And strangely enough, I’m nervous about it.
I’ve sung background for live performances, played for weddings, funerals, and in religious settings, but I’ve never had the nerve to pursue just playing “my music” for others, outside of my circle of friends and family. For whatever reason, I thought it was too sappy, or too old, too simplistic, too complicated, too this and too that.
When I write music, I am taking a piece of my soul and offering it to the world.
That’s a vulnerable thing to do.
But at some point in a person’s life, they must finally decide whether or not they will use the gifts they were given, regardless of the risk. They must offer themselves wholeheartedly, without reservation, if they are ever to fulfill their life’s calling.
That is what I will endeavor to do.
Music is everywhere, in every color, every flavor, every emotion. It’s the language of nature, the language of life.
To me, it’s all a song.
Nice pics!... if music is in your heart, the best thing you can do is let it out and share it.!...
Thanks @lellabird60! I believe that! We all need to share it:)
Gorgeous photos @itsallasong and great words. I think sharing vulnerability is so valuable and important too. Keep sharing your music.
