Hello! This is my first openmic entry into the Steemit space. I'm introducing an unreleased original song I wrote inspired from an all women's singing choir I participate in called the Hildegirls.
The Hildegirls believe in the power of music for healing and raising vibration. It's based on the inspiration / philosophy / music of Hildegard von Bingen. Hildegard was a visionary nun from the 11th century that believed in Nature as God and that the Living Light exists in all things.
Last year in the Hildegirls group, we focused on the idea of Angels - calling in your Angels.
My song is essentially about getting escorted by angels to the after life.
My song is about making peace with death.
Perhaps it's a little weird to say Hello to the OpenMic Space with a "Farewell to Life" song but it's what I felt compelled to do. We never know how long we will get to keep this precious life, so remember --> never take anything for granted, live & love fearlessly, and dive in while you can.
Much love Steemians.
After life After all — written by Laura Scarborough
Now I am gone
Now I am far
My time on earth just one life long
And now i fly
This is goodbye
It’s just after life after all.
An image holds
A time once told
It’s just a memory away
I’m glad you know
with love I go
It’s just after life after all.
Angels hold me
Angels show the way
Angels know me
Angels come today
Angels hold me
Angels told me
There’s no fear my dear there’s no fear.
It is just after life after all.
The young and old
In the same fold
Time on earth is one life long
Remember why
to be alive
before afterlife after all.
Angels hold me
Angels show the way
Angels know me
Angels come today
Angels hold me
Angels showed me
There’s no fear my dear there’s no fear my dear there’s no fear.
It is just after life after all.

You had me at hello. What a beautiful and alluring voice you have. Hope to hear more soon and welcome to Open Mic.
Wow, such a deep topic - and what a beautiful approach to addressing it in such a beautiful and melodic way! I loved it!
What a beautiful song...
Really captivating and so emotional.
Thank you for sharing.
If you have some time maybe check the #pianocomposition tag. I'm trying to build a strong community of piano composers around that tag.
I'm hoping that we can help each other on steemit as it's very difficult to get exposure as a musician.
In the meantime I will follow your future posts.
Keep up the good work.
Olivier
Very nice.
Wow, I think you should have won week 74. Such a haunting and seductive voice you have, most excellent and you are such a smooth piano player and lovely arrangement. Can't wait to hear more from you. :) <3
