This week's entry for Steemit OpenMic Week 81. This is an original song written by us.
DOWN BY THE RIVER
(Katya Diaz, Chris Hierro)
Down by the river
Walking in grace
Down by the river
Pleading my case
Love right the wrongs
Of damage is done
Wash in the river
But then there was none
Dreamt bout' the river
The river was dry
Wet now with only
The tears that we cry
Nowhere to go
Nowhere we can pray
Down by the river
Is where we will lay
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Blood only flows
If its through my veins
Bones on the bed of
These dead remains
Starved by the lies
Of those Hopes they sold
Oh Holly water
Traded for gold
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong
Where do I belong
Who will forgive us when what God gave us is all but gone?
What will carry our sins today
Who will show us the righteous way
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Bridge:
Try to take it on
Put back all the pieces
That are lost
That are, we are lost
Are we lost now?
Suddenly we sing the songs that we
We Don't believe in
For peace that we're seekin'
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Who will forgive us
When what God gave us
Is all but gone
Is all but gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?

Hells yeah, awesome!
:D Our IMP family!
Oh yea! Love you two are here!
:D Love ya Joe!
this is awesome, great video guys!
Enrique, thanks a million!
Very good performance!
You belong first and foremostly in Jesus Christ's heart, then in the hearts of your family and loved ones and especially with us here in the Open Mic Community. Another great original thanks for this one you both. I needed that boost :) Super deep lyrics, love the rhetorical messages and harmonies
Thank you brother! We are super grateful for the love.
You're most welcome, I had to revisit this classic hit. My wife wants to know if you two are a couple by any chance. She is also a big supporter of your music. Do you have a website? We should also link up on discord if you're on there to connect for future projects
Aww, thank you guys. Yes we are a couple. We live together and do this as a living which is a true blessing. Send our love to your wife. Let us know, we are on discord as: Break Out The Crazy#6462
And you can go to our Youtube channel and check out some of our previously released videos: https://www.youtube.com/breakoutthecrazy
The way we have it setup now is, all of our commercial releases and music videos are on there. And we're doing these live performance videos and blogging on here. A lot more suited for personal interactions and real reach. Those mainstream platforms are overcrowded and have weird algorithms that don't let the music get to the people. It can be very annoying.
Love this! 😏
Very musical, very catchy, and very inspiring!
Thanks for sharing!
:D Thank you!
Cool track and performance!
We appreciate it!
Love it guys!
@luzcypher Glad you enjoyed it! Still on a high from last week.
I love you guys 💙
¡Gracias Monica! We love you too!
Good song, nice stripped down to basics vibe, great soulful lyrics.
Thank You Gif Master! :D
De verdad ustedes tienen un angel.
¡Nos vas a hacer llorar Enrique! :D Gracias hermanito.
wow great and full of energy and lyrics to think about. Thank you. I am trying to gather some great musicians for a great Steemit online project. I want to record a song together where everybody records his/her part on video and then we put it together as a kind of video collage with the complete song. I would love you to join, if you are interested let me know... You can find the post at my blog... Keep on making great music !! have a great day..
Thanks! We'd love to join your project. Let us know if we're still in time.

Bravo once more my friends :) @breakoutthecrazy Super respect for your skills and efforts

Thanks a lot! Wow. We didn't really expect to make any lists this time around so you doing this is a big surprise, thanks! I (Chris) am the one who usually responds on here and more of the instrumentalist, melodic person in this duo, but Katya is the master of lyrics (even though she also comes up with a lot of our melodies). She has been taken aback by all the attention being put on the lyrical content here on steemit. It feels great because it is such a big part of what we do. We want to spread messages of love and sometimes of self reflection, something we think is much needed these days. Very grateful.
Yes the lyricism and message is the upmost importance to me specifically. That is why I truly appreciate Katya's keen abilities to compose what she does and you both deliver it so well. Love and self reflection is truly lacking in these hurtful cold days for sure. Keep changing the world for the better. Nice speakin again with you Chris.
Dominique's my name. Pronounced with a "nick". Do say hello to Katya as well please. I know we could make some great music together one day. no rush or time pressure either, I'm very laid back about it
You guys are amazing! I absolutely love your intertwined vocals and delicate melodies!
Cheers
Darren

YAY!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! Oh My Goodness! Didn't even think we qualified this week. We didn't see us in the initial 'who played' list so we figured we weren't in it. Grateful nonetheless since we won 2nd place last week. BUT OMG! :D SO HAPPY! Thanks Again!
Watching this on AtomCollectorRecords.com Such an awesome performance! Tipped you with some $INDIE.
Thank you @juxtamusic !
You're welcome. My wife loves your music too!
:D We're glad. I wanted to ask you something on a different subject. I'm still not sure if I'm being successful withdrawing my indie. I guess it's because I can still see the amount of Indie that I have on the atomcollector page. Not sure how to know for sure if it transferred over.
