Steemit Open Mic Week 79 - Lori Meyers (NoFx Cover)

in #openmic7 years ago

Hey Steemit! I have a cover this week. Lori Meyers by NoFx... Just me, so I am doing both male and female parts. Hope you like it! It is a bit different from the original as it is an acoustic cover.

BIG Thank you to @luzcypher and @pfunk for hosting Open Mic, as well as all the judges that spend hours upon hours listening to every entry! You guys are amazing!!!

Lyrics:

Lori Meyers used to live upstairs
Our parents had been friends for years
Almost every afternoon we'd play forbidden games
At nine years old there's no such thing (as shame)
It wasn't recognition of her face, what brought me back was a familiar mark
As it flashed across the screen
I bought some magazines, some video tape scenes
Incriminating acts, I felt that I could save her

"Who the hell are you to tell me how to live?
You think I sell my body; I merely sell my time.
I ain't no Cinderella, I ain't waiting for no prince,
To save me in fact until just now I was doing just fine.
And on and on.."

"I know what degradation feels like
I felt it on the floor at the factory
Where I worked long before, I took control now I answer to me
The 50K I make this year will go anywhere I please
Where's the problem?"

Again, thanks for watching!!

For a split second, I didn't even realize that this was you! Haha, I just saw the "Lori Meyers" title and got super excited because I love this song! I love the versatility of your voice and how it can go anywhere from super sweet and smooth, to raw and gritty like this one. You're a badass! Love you lady! <3

I love you too! I sent this to @jasonrussell the other day for you to listen to before I posted it, but he may have forgotten. Glad you enjoyed it. I love you @melodyrussell!!!!

I didn't forgetttt just didn't really have time to give it a full listen....then all the sudden it was posted!

It's okay Jashon. I heart you too!

The rough and tough voice and expression came a little unexpected but it made it all the more entertaining for me, thank you!

Thank you! I first found myself with punk music and I enjoy being able to "let go" of all the emotions I hold inside when I can sing to something like this. It makes me feel really good. Thanks for watching!

I wanna be your friend so bad ♥
