Okay, so here's another bleeding heart from my bathroom, and it's over 7 minutes long so don't start listening unless you've got time! Because it builds from slow fingerpicking to rhythmic strumming with a harmonica solo at the end. And yes headphones or speakers are essential. :)
I wrote this some time after breaking up with my daughter's mum, at the climax of the heartbreak.. I went away to a nearby rural area so I could properly express myself and let it all out and this song was the fruit that was produced. It is a hard song to play so this recording is far from perfect, but I felt like finally sharing it and hopefully someone out there will appreciate it.
Thanks!

Great song!
Thanks, you guys are amazing...
Not as amazing as you.
Nice to listen to an original song ! I just posted my first original tune on my page. Feel free to check it !
Hey man, thanks, will definitely listen to that tomorrow in a cafe because I don't have the bandwidth at home. Glad you're getting your music out there too. =)
No problem^^. Thanks and keep going ! :)
Shit clinton, you're crushing it man! Wow. And I only mentioned Steemit to you about 3 weeks ago! Keep it up dude. gonna be at shoulder real soon playing, so hope we get to jam together too.
Yo Dylan! Haha I know man, I'm really glad you did, it's an amazing platform.. You should be putting your music on here too, art is well promoted on here I have found!! Definitely see you soon, take it easy.
that was wonderful! beautiful playing and singing wonderful song
Thank you so much, your voice is gorgeous, looking forward to hearing all your future endeavours!
Ah yea, you again! This was a nice find. What an epic (7 min) song haha.
Seriously though, it really went places. Nice thematic material that you built upon.
Sick vocals quality too. Bathroom verb helps haha. I think it's more the little bit of grit u through in every now and again that catches my attention. Especially bc you sing kind a clean even though you seem to have that underlying rasp/breathiness
hello clint , nice works , wish you luck , if you like ,check my blog too.
Hey mate, I saw your comment on my youtube channel, hadn't got around to emailing you yet, but thanks for showing an interest! Good to see you on Steemit, following you. :)
Hey @clintjunior I am impressed with your results on steemit compared to youtube. How do you look towards this subject? YouTube used to be a great platform for artists, but perhaps steemit is the future?
Hey @vipete , well I literally created the youtube channel just to upload my videos to Steemit, I never put any of my music on the internet until now. But I think you might be right. I can see it being a new platform for musicians to get themselves out there, it's definitely a lot more rewarding!
You got my votes and I will be following you my friend! Keep the good stuff coming and good things will flow back to you.
I truly love how this economics work. You put out your skills and you instantly get rewarded. No corporations, no middle men, just you, your skills and your public. It is a complete new paradigm !
And completely self regulated, the way it should be. Steem provides.
I love it too!
Another classic song from you, my friend. You should be out there knocking the plastics out of the UK Top 40 charts. I wish I had a car, I'd love to do Steemit's first collaboration haha.
Cheers Calum, I'll check out your latest ones tomorrow, got a shortage of bandwidth at the house I'm living in so I have to listen in cafes haha. But yeah a collab would be awesome, who needs a car! Where ya from again?
Ah yeah, no worries. Currently I'm deservedly just underneath you in "trending" - what an honour ;)
I'm from Newcastle but live in Norwich.
Haha it's so funny when the whale votes come along aint it, suddenly you're a hit! Do you know about Curie? It took me a while to work out what was happening, then I found that curation group called curie. It's amazing though aint it, encourages you to keep going that's for sure..
Well I like travelling around so I'm sure it'll happen dude! I'll be cycling down South in July for a festival in Brighton. Called Bimble Bandada.
No I've heard nothing about Curie. It's certainly insane when the reward randomly spikes up.
Just Googled that festival - looks wacky haha
Oooh, sensitive folksinger-songwriter stuff, I love it. (No sarcasm, dude, at all.)
No chance whatsoever of calling this country...
I really like your voicing the chords so high up the neck, it sounds really chimey in those bathroom acoustics.
Check out @primatives-usa when I get Jesse worked around to posting stuff here on Steemit.
Oooh, sensitive folksinger-songwriter stuff, I love it. Hahaha this made me laugh xD Thank you for the feedback though, I believe you that it wasn't sarcastic!
I love dark comedy, tragedy, depressing stuff everywhere, but it seems that many people have let the dark and vicious stuff get to them in such a way they can no longer appreciate the soft,sensitive,or even positive side of things- so I like (no, make that LOVE) Lewis Black on a rant as much I still love Sheila Chandra or Peter Gabriel grooving, or Wasis Dyap chanting...
I like George Carlin myself, he really makes me feel better about the absurdity of everything. Thank you so much for resteeming dude..
Following them, will keep my eye out for em.
Whoa. 10/10 dude. Speechless.
Thanks buddy, for the resteem, the vote in the open mic, and the comment! Following you back too. Your life looks so interesting, and so does the weather in Utah! It's done nothing but rain here for the last week so I'm jealous.... Haha, nice to meet you man.
thanks Clint, Nice to meet you too!
I always used to play in my bathroom too. Love the natural reverb you get in there. Sounds good and thanks for playing once again for Steemit Open Mic and wow, look at the earnings on this post. I guess we likes it. Congrats!
will listen now! thanks!
Beautiful!
You are so talented Clint!
Thank you Isaria, as are you. =D
Really like that one man - it's epic! Am I hearing any stone roses influence there at all?
Thanks mate. =) Probably not, never really liked Stone Roses. Haha, I always thought this song sounded a bit like Neil Young or something when I wrote it.
Gonna check yours out tomorrow, the embarrassing situation is I can't stream videos at home, I have to listen to everyone when I'm at a cafe with my headphones. Don't have unlimited broadband at the house where I'm living. =/
Ha, oh well, there's my opening insult then. Your turn! ;) I think it was the total music style change mid-way though, and the way it opened up somehow reminded of 'Tears'. I'm ashamed to say I don't really know much Neil Young.
I'm gonna really work on my insult so as to severly hinder my reputation.. hahaha.. Don't be ashamed, give him a try but you like whatever you like don't you. Some of his stuff is way too whiny to be honest.
Yeah, you need a better insult than me, my reputation isn't in the danger zone. Have you made an album (or studio recordings) of your stuff at all?
Not yet, I'm working on that, it's my plan. Once I've written all the songs I'm gonna pursue it, I've designed an album cover already, hopefully Steem will help fund it! What about you?
Not really, I've done a bit of home studio recording before having too much family stuff to do, but nothing proper. I hate the pressure of getting a good take too, it's bad enough doing videos for this! I was going to offer to buy one of yours with Steem. I wonder if you could get it crowd-funded on here somehow?
Very cool mate.
Thanks for the share.
Thanks for listening pal.
Sweet!
Thanks, and for resteeming!
So far, your my favorite singer/songwriter on here. Thank for sharing.
Thank you, that's kind of you. :)
"The truth aint kind or mean or anything in-between"...it just is what it is. I look forward to hearing more. Oh and fyi... that is a line from one of mine. lol!!!
Nice quote! Following, I will have a listen with my headphones soon.
Sweet!!! I am excited about getting involved with this community of musicians. You are a very talented song writer, to have you listen to my song is both nervous for me and...cooool!!!!
oh and I would start following you now but I already did that days ago when I first heard you..
Another week on SteemIt and another great song from Clint!
I can't really think of a sound alike that would apply to you, more like unique and that's a good thing.
Thanks again for your support mate!
Goodluck @clintjunior! :)
Thank you @beng05, you're the best. :)
nice one! thanks for sharing
Nice chords and very beautiful text!
Nice work!!
Thanks a lot man. Coming over to your blog now to hear some awesome tunes.
It's amazing, your voice and the lyrics are delicious (Can we say that in English?). I am made my first entry today. And looking forward to see you again for week 40. =) Cheers my friend!
Thanks for the listen, yeah you can say delicious, no worries! You're a multi-talented guy, seems like you keep real busy with all your interests - well thanks for taking the time to check out my blog, see you around no doubt!
LOVED IT BROTHERMAN!!! Really nice!!

Great job on songwriting...sometimes the best stuff comes out of our pain. Thanks for sharing! Upvoted and following.
Eh nice song! Check my channel me and my friends are new in steemit and i ll send music content soon.
Ah yea, you again! This was a nice find. What an epic (7 min) song haha.
Seriously though, it really went places. Nice thematic material that you built upon.
Sick vocals quality too. Bathroom verb helps haha. I think it's more the little bit of grit u through in every now and again that catches my attention. Especially bc you sing kind a clean even though you seem to have that underlying rasp/breathiness
Hey man! Thanks for listening, and for the awesome feedback!
Haha there was another guy who won the whale for a day contest, and I recommended someone to him and then stupidly asked him to up vote 'circles' again.. But obviously Htooms had already up voted that one from when you were a whale. xD
Anyway thanks, glad you came back for another listen, I will check out what you've been up to now! Take it easy.
Haha, that's too bad if it screwed up your payout..oh well. I think you did pretty well on this one ;)
No prob brother, sounded good this week.
@clintjunior , you did it great clint , where are you ? didn't answered me in last comment ? about that drum ... Hiphop
Hey David, sorry been busy this last few days, must have missed your last message whilst replying to other people. How can I choose from those drums? Haha I don't know what they sound like.. I will just have to find a way to record hang the prophet for you, I guess it will need to be to a 'click' or metronome right?
that's great , yeah be relax , I understand the situation , about the recording , can you buy an audio technica mic ?
search on ebay I think this one must be cheap and great for recording.
yeah those stuffs were drums and Cajon , bongos , conga , timbales .
man when I want to work on a song , I will make a Hollywood movie of that song , I mean I add many things to it and making it a great and big work
That looks like a good microphone, but I don't even have a computer or any other recording equipment at my house, I will have to record it at someone else's place, I'll do a good job and then send it to you. Which Audio Technica mic should I get??
audio technica at2020 usb , but I have found a way for you my friend you can buy a recorder like these : Sony ICD-PX470 Voice Recorder -- or Tsco TR 902 Voice Recorder --- or Philips VTR6900 Voice Recorder , no need to use laptop or pc just a small recorder with a good quality
this is a recorder , easily record with a good quality , wav and mp3 with less noise.
Sorry If I used English language like my own Farsi language , maybe it means wrong in EN. LOL
@clintjunior, I just arrived too late for the 39 Ope Mic but be sure you have my Upvote here !
I was just thinking turn on the youtube video and cut off after 20 sec but you song just give to me 7.27 minuts of "ears food". Thank you for this moment !
Gonna follow you closer ! Big up from France.
Thanks for listening mate, I'm glad you felt compelled to hear it all to the end! 🐴
