Hello Steemians
This is my entry for the OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 8
The last week 😁this is, I am sorry it ends here but I'm sure @luzcypher will find a way to make another one. this truly is an amazing place for a musician, to see people have fun and find this competition as a live gig is a future of the societies individual development, where everybody can have a chance to promote him/her self as an independent artist from their own home, just amazing.
This song's name is "New Designs" it speaks about the situation we are in and how manipulated are we in general, how are we kept so distant from the true knowledge by a constant threat from the old traditions and religions, dictating our movement as a society and making us ourselves not want more than we are being given, this song rejects the armed revolution and supports the evolution of the society through the New Designs that are now open to all of us because we all connected via web/networking and the knowledge to support ourselves as a free individuals, emancipated from the governments is starting to appear everywhere, like green energy and how to live sustainable of grid, this things we need to understand will change the monetary system in the near future.
Lyrics for the song are hardcoded to a video but in case that doesn't work out for you see the lyrics below:

New designs
Born in times of divided sides
We lost directions to the stars
Listening to the vague old lies
Of traditions that died out
Died out a long time ago
But we still are being controlled
And some know little and some know a lot
Some don't even care at all
Some just being paranoid
Others just too weak to cope
I beg you please to understand
That we can and must know more
I...
Heard you talk about the revolution
My dear friends
I...
Would like to bid you farewell on that
Until we meet again
So we can try to make this world
A better place for me and you
We can try new designs
New designs of society
We can see the truth again
Make the fear capitulate
Capitulate...
There's no reason
For all of us not to be free again

Hey, has anyone ever told you that you remind them of Ethan Hawke?
Hey @passion-ground I'm glad you embraced both the arrangement and the lyrics, sometimes a couple of people mentioned Ethan Hawke when I hadn't my glasses on yes, including my wife 😁 but I understand the pun, due to me comparing you to Tom Waits hahah...
I really like your style of music, it's something I would listen to on a daily basis. So great. I hope all is well with the soon to be Mama as she is not playing this week.
Glad to hear that @geenaizzy I appreciate your respect, Ava and me were both quite tired so I decided to make this song yesterday because it was the last day I think and play it myself with a bit of beats via looper, she helped me with a cam and smiled at me in the process, always helps me with everything 😃our son is getting closer yes, preparations are being made

Hey man you making beats this season or just judge, what are the rules?
I've read you've had a round trip, was clueless about that haha, didn't know that was a reward also, how was it man, had fun?
You are welcome @ivan.atman
I'm still making beats no doubt, but I'm not a challenger any longer...I mean I won the entire first season and that's just enough for me. (; Yeah..I'm one of the judges of the Beat Battle and Steemit Music League now, the rules are displayed here.
I won a round trip to San Diego California and will fly by the end of march, will write a blog about it when I come back. ☺ Paradise yeah there was a reward...how come you didn't know?
Good luck on them battles and cheers. ☺
