“On My Knees”: Original song by Sideways Geoffrey

in #music6 years ago (edited)

Here’s a track from our band’s latest recording! I play music with 3 of my best friends (who all have Steemit accounts but they never post anything) I play backup guitar and sing harmonies in a lot of songs. But since they never share anything, I’m gonna post it myself ;)

I wish Dsound would work for me, but it just simply won’t :( So we had to put it on the YouTubes. We’re getting ready to play a outdoor festival this weekend and I’m excited! So just wanted to share one of our recordings since we don’t have many :)

Our drummer records all of our stuff in his home studio so I just wanted to share one of our original tracks from our recent recording session :)

Thanks for listening!

Sort:  

You guys have the potential to rock the world! I could imagine 3 bands combined (Oasis, Metallica & Queen)!
What a performance?!!

Oh!
Before I forgot, the lyrics much have been included in the post above @melodyrussell

And thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent guys!
You rock!!!

Thanks so much for listening! I would like to include the lyrics, but I honestly don’t know all of them just yet. Our lead singer/guitarist @johnbutler wrote this one, so I’ll have to ask him! Thanks again for taking the time to listen!

You're very much welcome!
I hope you get the lyrics.
Anyways, keep up the great work and more power!
I'm now playing it again!
Super cool!

First of all, congratulations for the song, great job! it reminds me of my early twenties when I was listening to this type of music. it's always nice to go back, it brings back great memories (at least for me). You should share more!

I could imagine 3 bands combined (Oasis, Metallica & Queen)!

@ronel, I agree with you on that, well said!

Thanks! We are all strongly influenced by 90s grunge and punk music, so I think it’s pretty obvious in our songs :) Thanks for checking it out!!!

Oh yeah!

Great composition you got there! I like the moderate rock beat and not the too much head-banging type. I just thought it would be better if you include the lyrics on your post just for easier reference of your listeners.

Good luck on your performance at the outdoor festival this weekend!

Thanks for listening! As I mentioned in one of the comments above, this particular song was written by @johnbutler so I don’t know all of the words, but I will try to get them soon and add to the post.

I’m sure we will have lots of photos and videos to share when we get back from the festival! 😁

You're welcome. Enjoy your performance on the festival.

Hey @melodyrussell, thank you for sharing this music, I believe that is hte life when you just need to get it in your hands and spread the word, because otherwise nobody will be able to learn your group and music. I love guitar solo that is really impressive, but also the voice of the singer sounds good, that associated to me with "Kiss" singer, I hope you guys will not get angry with that :)

I wish you all the best for the weekend adn please keep spreading the word :)

Very good song and a enviable voice :-) ! Remindes me little bit, back to the times when i heard nirvana much. So thanks for the memories :-)

You could also insert a 5 # tag to get more audience here ;-)

And by the way, i also have my problems with Dsound and especially Dtube.

We all grew up on 90s music, Nirvana included, So that era has been a big influence on our sound :)

Can you tell me more about the 5 hashtag? Never heard of it. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

Oh yes. That’s right! The music from our childhood has really big influence. I remember better the text and guitar riffs from old songs many many years ago then new ones.... crazy

...

What I mean is, you used only 4 categories on steemit (4 # tags) music originalmusic guitar and diy - but you can use one more! :-) don’t know what fits also good, because I make make in food here... But in the menu- explore / you can check all. :-) and more is better 😀 :-)

Ahhh, now I see what you mean... 5 tags or categories 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Haha, I was reading these and trying to respond so quickly that I don’t think I gave my brain enough time to process what you were saying, haha! But yes, I really should have used a 5th tag. I’ll be sure to do that next time. Thanks again!!! :)

Yeah! this is rocking pretty hard !!!!!! Well done to you and your crew.

Hey! Thanks for checking it out! :)

Hey, I gave it a listen, sounds awesome. Upvoted, resteemed and followed.

Recently I made a similar post for my band, you can check it here:

Hey @melodyrussell, thank you so much for sharing this with us. One thing's for sure, you guys are going to rock it at the outdoor festival!!! 🎸🔊🎤👨‍🎤🎟👩‍🎤 Darn, wished I was there! (Would you be able to upload a video of you guys playing? It sure would be fun to watch you and your band in action :) The music is very Hard Rock material! I can totally imagine it being played there. Where does your band get the inspiration to write and play your own songs?

We are super excited about this festival (even though there’s rain in the forecast all weekend; it will still be fun!) My husband and one of my friends will be taking pictures and video, so I hope to have lots of fun footage to share!

The inspiration for our songs comes from many different places, but mostly we all share a mutual love of music, and making music with great friends is one of the best feelings in the world!

Yay! I am super excited for you too!! :) I love watching bands play :) Have fun at the festival!!

We will! Thank you and have a great day! :)

Thank you too! 😘

You guys nailed it!! I love the sound of the instruments and the voice as well, its just "rocking cool" lol. Sideways Geoffrey is the name of your band?

This song is definitely gonna work for an outdoor festival, wishing you the best of luck with the festival. Hope you will share photos from the event?

Yes, that’s the name of the band (and it’s a silly “inside joke” so we never bother explaining how we came up with the name) Lol, we had a great time at the festival and lots of photos to sort through so I will share soon. Thank you @audreybits! :)

Well, some things don't really need explanations, they just have to be fun lol. I am glad you enjoyed yourselves at the festival, I will definitely love to go through those fun photos.

Great job on this one. A throwback style to the earl 2000s I have a tag called #boombox for sharing music (fans and artists welcomed) I resteem all music on there for free with my alternate accounts.

very nice, it's definitely my type of music. You guys sound like you like a some Nirvana mixed with some STP and maybe some Green Day mixed in.
I dig it, do you have any more that you plan to post this is great. I gave you a subscribe on youtube as well, I checked out the 12 bar blues song as well, I think it was KC blues.. open mic 40?
Catch ya later man.

Thanks for checking out our music! We just recently started sharing our stuff and playing shows. Over the past several years, we’ve just been jamming together and having a good time! We are working on recording an album and we are about 6 songs in, so hope to have more to share very soon. Thanks again for listening!!!
