Open Mic Week 37 - Original soothing song/downloadable

in #openmic8 years ago (edited)

This is a song I wrote when I was 19--in the middle of the night because of a little existential angst.

I have missed out on a lot of things because I was "waiting for it to be perfect."

This isn't perfect, but sometimes you just need to start.

Available for download for free, baby cakes!
(with an amazing cellist in the recorded version, too)

Welcome to Steemit. I am following your blog. Good Luck on the Forum.

Followed back because of your tagline. Thanks for your warm welcome!

Another wow with lotsa goosebumps all over, #jealous

Ahh it's so encouraging! I love it here. Thanks so much!

You can also download it for free through my web site - comes with a gorgeous cello part!

Loved it, so too San Pedro Sula and Winters Lullaby

Man, I love this place. So happy to get to share it with you!

Been back again already to relisten lol, doesnt wanna download to ipad so il have to get the laptop out soon

Yeah, unfortunately Apple has subtly but brilliantly gotten a near monopoly on the market simply through building its software to be incompatible with most downloads. A very convenient "safety" feature. My long-term hope is to find a way around that..!

I'm so glad you like it. Really really. Thanks for your support!

Thanks for playing Steemit Open Mic. Nice voice.

Welcome! I appreciate that.

@kayclarity You're amazing!

If you work on your presentation, make "official" recording of your songs and "release" your songs on SteemIt, i'm certain eventually it will make thousands of dollars! You have a very special kind of quality content.

One tip though, don't do it right away, but wait until you have enough of a following. Posts will only get rewards the first 7 days and this platform is all about followers to make your content go viral. So work on followers first and then you're in business. I see a bright future for you on SteemIt, good luck! :)

Thank you so much for the feedback. It really means a lot. Artists need all the support they can get!

And good advice. I don't have the equipment to do proper quality yet, or even friends who do.. so for now it's just like this anyway. But you're right that I don't need to worry about that until I've made a lot of friends and fans on here first anyway. I'm happy to share what I've got in the meantime. I love it here.

Any time you want to send tips my way, I am very happy to get them! Now it feels hilarious to do this but.. xx, Kay :)

Hey you remembered me, with the kisses and stuff :)

I'm thinking about tips, i would love to see you get popular on here. I'll reply as soon i know what to write so hang on. I'm getting tired, just spend 3 hours working on an article and had a really busy day.

Xx haha. These are the last kisses you get from me, my penis is shrinking little by little like this :p

haha! Sitting here laughing and embarrassed.

No rush! Wait till tomorrow, as long as you won't forget! I'm heading off, too!

No more kisses! Too weird on repeat haha

I will forget for sure, way too much work and distractions all day. I'm listening to your songs on the website now.

The main tip i can give right now is to come up with a plan to gain more followers and how you want to present your original songs on SteemIt when you're finally satisfied with how much money your content makes.

The best way for beginners is to connect with others on Steemit that have similar interest or content you're interested in. So right now it's probably best to look for other artists and make new friends :)

Hope it helps! Normally i don't connect this much with people but for some reason i wanted to invest time in helping you.

That all makes sense, and that's the current plan! Just trying to make great quality content that I love doing anyway, and for just two days so far, the response has been great.

I do really appreciate your help. I might poke you once in a while with questions as I go on!

It was probably the kisses. (that's the whole future strategy right there, I guess haha) XX

Haha yeah. All jokes aside though, those kisses will transfer your happiness and passion to others. And after they hear your songs they will be interested in following you for sure!

Yeah feel free to ask me anything. I know almost everything about this platform since i'm also a programmer. You'll probably learn a lot from reading my articles too. I write beginner guides from time to time.

I don't know what the best way to contact me is though, since i don't do any other social media and i removed Skype and all other nonsense a while ago :)

Oh, by the way: this song is up on my website for free download (with a gorgeous cello part as well), as well as quite a few others. Listen if you like!

@calamus: well.. this was very kind!

Hi to all of you if you see this. I do appreciate the love I'm finding here on Steem. It's amazing.

Xx, Kay

Nice @calamus056! Love her songs 👍

whoa you have a really nice voice. :)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment. :). xx

I definitely downloaded the song! =]

Wow! So glad you like it that much! Stay in touch, k? xx!

Yes for sure! =)

Oh dang, such a nice voice! And that's an original?! Truly beautiful :)

Thank you so much! And yes - an original. Available for free download through my site, actually (with a gorgeous cello part as well). xx!

Well I don't have my credit card with me right now to donate on your website, so I' ll just send @randowhale your way! ;)

lol! Thanks so much--hardly anybody donates, so it really means a lot! xx

I can imagine :D Not enough people value music for how much it is really worth... But artist gotta stick together ;)

Yes, sir! It's so important. I'm really hoping to be able to form something of a community of serious writers and artists around my work on here so we can encourage each other, but also really challenge each other to be good. We need honest critics who, because they see potential in us and want us to succeed and be forces of actual good in the world, are willing to tell us the truth about our work.

I wrote a couple of articles about it if it's something you're passionate about as well:

Nice to meet you on here, really & truly. Hope you have a good day! xx

Breathtakingly beautiful Kay... Lovely, simply lovely...

Darn... brought me to tears. Beautiful melancholy...

Thank you! You can download it through my site (for free, or a donation, but most people just download it :) xx

Great! Most appreciated. As soon as I have a few bucks to spare --hopefully steem dollars-- I will donate for sure. Thanks.

Don't stress about it. Just if you want to. I'm just happy you'll have it!
