Open Mic Week 38 - Original acoustic song: As I Run - Kay Clarity

in #openmic8 years ago (edited)

So for now, team, I'm just posting the videos I already have up on youtube because I'm travelling the next bit and won't be able to make good new videos.

In the long-run, I hope to be able to make a little bit of money on here to pay for better equipment so it's better sound and video quality.. but I humbly give you what I have now.

This one is an original from a few years ago.

Much love.

Xx, Kay

Lyrics:

As I Run - Kay Clarity

I have been reduced to this skin and these bones
The only thing still standing strong are these walls
Why has hope hid his mighty face?
I cannot see why light has left this place

I often wonder why words can't speak themselves
Gracefully pass by our unclean mouths
Now I'm just one breakable grin
Deaf to sound and silent to the din

The restless space awaits me as I run from love again
I run from love again

I still see shadows of the ghosts I've left behind
Waiting in the stillness of my dreams unspoken
So much left to be watchful of here
So many ways I must cast out that fear

The dimming mirror reflects me as I run from love again
I run from love again
I run from love again
I run

But love will overtake me
Love will conquer me
Love will overtake me
Love will conquer me
Love will overtake me
Love will conquer me
One day love will conquer this heart

Thank you for your sharing, it is a great song and you played it well! I am also a guitar player but just a newbie like who I am in steemit! I have been practicing the soundtrack in the music film "Once", namely " Falling Slowly". I hope one day I can play guitar as good as you ! :) Followed and looking forward to more of your performance, keep on!

Thank you so much for your kind words, and for taking time to listen. I really appreciate it. Wishing you all the best in your music journey! And thank you so much for your support. It is truly needed. Xx, Kay

Wow this is very inspirational. Thanks for putting it out for us to hear!

Thank you so much! I'm so very glad you liked it :). I have a few other videos up if you enjoyed this one. Have a beautiful day! xx, Kay

Lovely voice, sweet performance and a groovy song :)

Thank you! I'm actually so overwhelmed by how supportive and generous everyone is. I need all the support I can get, so it means a lot to me. Xx, Kay

Nice keep it up

Thank you!

This is beautiful. Are you on Twitter:

I hope you don't mind I used a different photo from one of your older posts as the image from the video was a bit dark.

Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.

Not at all! Man.. you people here are amazing! Seriously. I have NEVER in a decade had this kind of support. I'm so grateful. Please let me know if there is a way I can help you out some time, but in the mean time just accept my sincere gratefulness. xx

You're welcome:)

Oh: yes, but I'm not active on it. @kayclarity as well.

I would recommend becoming active on it because it will help spread the word about you and about Steemit. It is one of the best ways to make connections outside of Steemit.

Maybe I will a bit once I build up a bit more here first. I find it hard to "split my energies." But.. I guess I could just post my Steem articles through to there?

Honestly, one of the things as well is that I need a break from the social media where I know people for a while yet. I am thriving in the place of anonymity and freedom, and need that for a while yet.

Maybe in a few weeks I will be ready to step back out onto the other platforms a little. Twitter can be the first one, as my "circle" of people isn't on there as much yet.

Not sure if you read my introduction? I mentioned there that social media has become sort of like the old small town dynamic, where everyone thinks they know you. In theory, I should be able to just get over that, but I'm pretty sensitive and easily discouraged, so it's really limited me.

But I will take your advice FOR SURE when the time is right.

Thank you again!

Yes I totally understand but why not make use of our enemies resources to spread the word? It is very Szun-Tsu. It only takes a few clicks to just share your post to twitter and FB directly from Steemit. There are little icons at the bottom of each post.

Oh, I definitely will, once I'm a bit more "established" here! I just need to get my bearings and get really comfy here first. Somehow, I just know it's important to keep this a little to myself, just for a little stretch. Hard to explain, but I know it's right for now. Twitter maybe in July. And then FB when I'm ready.

My ears enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing .

Lol :). Thanks. Hopefully your heart did, too! xx, Kay

Wow, great stuff. Glad to see you picking up traction on here

Thank you. Seriously. I wouldn't be without the support of everyone from the beginning! It's the first few of you that got me going! I'm going to try to make a list of my original followers here to remember you all in case this thing blows up. I'm so grateful!

no way ? is that you ? wow! wow! wow! ....hey WOW! ok WOW ! i am .... i'd... what.. i.. WOW !!!

haha! lol yes.. thank you!

Great job on this wow!

Thank you so much for your kind compliment! I really appreciate the support! I have a few more up here already, if you're interested. Thanks so much for stopping by. xx, Kay

Yes, was checking out the other one's actually right now! :)
Keep it up. Following now.

Ah thank you so much. Seriously: the people on here are absolutely the best. I think Steem draws excellent people, and that there is also something about the way it is run that brings out the best in people. It's the new "happiest place on earth" lol!

Really, really appreciate the support. Have a good day! xx

Well, I can tell you for right now it's a clean and non-trollish website . You go on F.B/Twitter it's fighting and trolls all day long. I do think you are right that Steem attracts a certain type of person. Higher IQ's maybe ? Dunno. Well, we do know creative people is one thing it does bring so this might be the reason for "the happiest place on earth" lol :) Welcome, looking forward to your next openmic.

Yeah. It's actually amazing.

Thank you so much for your words and contribution! It does seem like people are thoughtful and reflective here. Maybe smarter, too? lol, why not?! I'll compliment us all, happily :). xx

Another beautiful track from the house of Kay! :D

Ahhhh you're the best <3

Great! I really enjoyed that :)

Thank you! I appreciate you saying so. I need all the support I can get! Xx, Kay

@kayclarity .. You are the real deal! Lovely voice and beautiful lyrics. Vision is more important than a polished sound. As long as the music is good, the rest can be fixed. :)

Perfect, kind, encouraging words. Just what I needed.

Great voice. Some of your singing, especially towards the end, reminded me of Harriet Wheeler (from The Sundays), who is brilliant.

Thank you. I'll have to look her up!
