New Song: Exclusively on Steemit

in #dsound6 years ago (edited)


The only instrument I was able to bring to China was a harmonica, so maybe a little instrumental will be coming to Steemit soon, but for now I found a raw recording of a song I wrote called "Leave Ohio". I wrote most of it a while ago, but last month I changed a few more lyrics, and recorded it right before I left Ohio.

This song is about a fellow who got out of a relationship that he never should have been in in the first place. It's pretty close to home as a dear friend of mine happened to be in this situation. For eight dark years he was married to a woman who was, how can I say it...just terrible. I don't typically celebrate a divorce, but the death of that relationship warms my heart every time I think about it.

I hope you enjoy this song. It's not my finest moment, but is fun to sing.

Thanks again everyone for your support, and to @Dsound for this platform!
Lyrics:

Someday I’m gonna leave Ohio and when I do I’m gonna let you know
Maybe I’ll drive all the way to the ocean
Or make my way into Mexico

I walked through your desert til the words were spoken
I fought in your battle til the vows were broken
8 long years and now they’re gone
But at least I’m not still hanging on

Someday I’m gonna make some money
And when I do maybe you will see
Me drive right by in a brand new chevy
And maybe then you’ll want my company

I walked through your desert til the words were spoken
I fought in your battle til the vows were broken
8 long years and now they’re gone
But at least I’m not still hanging on

Someday I’m gonna be on TV
And the radio show where you’ll hear my name
I’ll be talking about all my inspiration
And the source for all my pain

I walked through your desert til the words were spoken
I fought in your battle til the vows were broken
8 long years and now they’re gone
But at least I’m not still hanging on

Do you know how to play your harmonica? I have a friend that is very good at playing it. He brings it most of the time since its just a small instrument that can be fit inside the pocket.

Can you play your harmonica in "Leave Ohio" tune?

Yes, it is a very practical instrument indeed. I hadn't thought about it but yes I believe I could play it for that tune. :)

You are such a talented songwriter, not a single track of yours is anything less than great, great back story to this song too, and another perfect performance.

Yoooo! So What's up man ! How is life in China?

Dope track bro , we've all been in this situation , with the relief that comes from getting out of a terrible relationship!Breaking up with a smile our faces

"I hope you enjoy this long. It's not my finest moment, but is fun to sing."

First you said Long instead of song, which I thought was an hilarious Freudian slip. secondly what are you talking about, this song is great! Anyway what do I know !

Ha ha! Thanks for pointing that out! It's been a good time here so far, but I've mostly been working so haven't had the chance to explore Wuhan very much. Although from what I've seen I'm pretty impressed. It's quite a city.

Thanks for the song feedback! How are things going for you?

Thanks friend ! Winter is here, brrrr ! I have to admit i had to go check where was Wuhan, please don't hesitate to share with us your life there ! Cheers !

Sounds really good. Love the lyrics even though they're pretty sad. Cheers, mate!

I like the harmonies and the feel of the song. it almost sound retro in a good way. Thanks

If you do a hard work then the possibilies are much higher that you will be on Tv.

Can't argue with that.

The lyrics passed so much meaning friend...how i wish i can lay my hands on the audio. And when are you coming up with the video shoot?

Well I don't know. Probably won't do a video shoot for this one, but thanks!
