Hey guys,
I thought I would go back and do an old favourite of mine for Open Mic this week. I've not entered in a while, my voice was going for a little while and I gave up a bit as I felt my performances were getting worse and worse.
At the end of the day, I play to have fun. I don't play to try and be the most amazing singer (although this would be awesome). I play songs that make me feel good and that I've enjoyed singing over and over again because they keep me uplifted.
Some people have commented recently on my guitar skills (or lack of them) and whilst I do appreciate honest feedback, I would also like to inform anyone else who was thinking of saying something... I never took guitar lessons so I know I'm not the best at it. I taught myself and that was the best I could do. It might not be what I was destined for but I simply needed an accompaniment for my singing. Truthfully, I'm much better at singing when I'm not concentrating on the guitar (which you will see in due time when I share my original pieces), but I like to have fun.
Soon enough, you will hopefully be hearing me accompanied by @dj5milez and @maximuji.
I'd also like to thank the people who have supported me since the early days of joining Steemit - @gamingwithbaz, @grownfolksgaming, @j1upineya, @bigpanda, @spiritualmax, @qsounds (just to name a few). And of course @luzcypher who has given people the courage from all around the world to come out of their shells!
I hope you enjoy my cover of Black and Gold by Sam Sparro.

Hi @luzcypher, thank you for commenting. I remember you showing me that post before but don't worry, my video is on youtube :)
This is a very good rendition of this song! I really like how well your voice sounds and goes with it :)
HER VOICE IS GOLD
Fun, is what much of this is all about!
As you say; "It's all just a bunch of matter." How poignant!
Loved this Lucy!
So glad you are back! You are a musical force to be reckoned with, girlfriend! Never forget that!
Black & Gold... Love it!
Excelente voz, me encanto.

Nice cover, simple and precise
Beautiful voice ! keep the good work and one day you will rise :)
I'll be the first judge to say it, I have been waiting to put you back on my judging list for awhile now and you are definitely deserving with entries like these. We all missed your entries and I know exactly what you mean when people throw criticism your way regarding guitar, I think you play well, especially given the fact that you can sing as well simultaneously. I also taught myself piano but can barely sing rhythmically while playing to save my life lol
You have a great voice, and it's too easy to be discouraged but I can tell you this, you don't have any idea of how much you inspire us who are listening. I am glad your voice healed up.
Steem on @lucybanks we are listening and here to support
Enjoyably great performance @lucybanks,
Really enjoy your vocals, especially when you open up in volume, heart and soul
Very impacting to say the least, Please more originals and covers
You made it in my top Judging List For Week 69
