This is my post for Steemit Open Mic Week 66
Here is a recording of my song "Flame". You can see the lyrics below :)
Tell me straight how it is
Tell me you're running cause it's the happiest you've been
I know you must be afraid
But darling being scared isn't how love gets made
You gotta close your eyes
And pray at night
That this love don't pass you by
This fire will always stay
Through wind and rain
We're a never ending flame
This fire will always stay
You and me
We're a never ending flame
Tell me what's on your mind
I'm good at searching but your thoughts are hard to find
I know that you've got your walls
But I'm pretty sure that I could make them fall
You gotta close your eyes
And pray at night
That this love don't pass you by
This fire will always stay
Through wind and rain
We're a never ending flame
This fire will always stay
You and me
We're a never ending flame
Thank you very much for listening :)

Thank you Matt and thanks for the support - it's awesome
Beautiful melody, lyrics, arrangement and voice/performance. Wish I'd written it :)
haha :) @miracle-rob thank you very much for the compliment :)
Excellent! Memorable guitar riff, poetic lyrics, and catchy vocal melody. Now I’m curious about your productions!
Thanks so much @dandelion. You can check out a lot of my productions on Spotify!
What did you use for the reverb? Its a really good mix.
@orrslaw thank you :) It's a very light lexicon plugin!
That is a beautiful song and performance.
Thanks so much @luzcypher - really appreciate your comment
It's like you literally took my internal visualization of a flame and put a melody to it. That rise you do on 'fire' at the chorus is just about as intuitive as it gets. Right to the heart of it. Great job, really enjoyed the guitar work too :-)
@spaceballoon I think that's the coolest thing I've ever read! How special! Thank you for taking the time to write that. I wont ever forget those words! :) :)
Your music, your lyrics, everything is perfect and I really like the feelings you put into this song.
@hadif66 :) thank you very much for the compliment :) Means a lot!
This is really amazing Michelle and I love your voice 😊 beautiful song, loved it. Cheers 🤗
Thank you thank you :) Glad you loved it! :)
Hey eden! Really, really dug the darkness of your voice. You have a gillian welch-y quality to your lower register that is KILLIN IT.
That's so awesome to hear @drumoperator - thanks for the compliment
So, so lovely. 💜 Your voice is so genuinely sweet and naturally unforced. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world! ⭐️ Followed, resteemed & upvoted. 😉
Thank you @zipplyo :) Really appreciate you taking the time to give me feedback!
Of course! I do believe that is what this space is actually about – that there is great value in these comment threads. As a song-writer myself, I was sincerely touched by your voice. I look forward to hearing more of it. <3
Have followed you @zipplyo - would love to hear some of your songs
Thank you @edenmichelle! I'm actually migrating to another account (@zipporah) as the typo in my username (should've been @zippylo) has been driving me bonkers. LOL! Please follow that account instead! :) Working up the gumption to share my music...not quite there yet. If only I had the same courage I had in my early twenties when I played open-mics all over The SF Bay. I look back in awe of my youthful boldness.
Done - and get up that courage again. It'll be worth it @zipporah
👏👏👏👏👏 More of that! Please? Sometimes a performance smacks you round the chops a bit and immediately makes you want to find out more about the writer/singer. This is one of those moments for me. Fabulous 2mins 20secs that. Actually it was 7minutes before I moved on. One of the best spots on the open mic for a while (IMHO of course!) 😉👍
Hey @steelygeoff Thanks so much for the kind words! Wow what a compliment. I'm really glad you like the song and it did something for you. That's what music is all about :)
Yeap, I definitely like your voice. this confirms it hah.
Some really great colour in ur alto reg and when you hit your upper register too. That's that vocal magic I'm speaking of. Ya just don't see it coming so when it does hit..you're quite effective with it!
Ah thanks @jaybird - great comments - as a producer I appreciate these kind of comments
Beautiful
Thank you @lakmini :)
