Steemit Open Mic Week 66 Original Song Forever By Kay Clarity --- by @kayclarity

"The lyrics in this original piece are incredibly beautiful and put together very well, with an undeniable voice that has such clarity ;) and grace and control. "go back to forever" sang just beautifully when forever stretches itself out on those vocal pipes. woo, just wonderful." - @soundlegion

Your composition is just perfect, the playing is one with the tune and together they paint an amazing audible tapestry of colour, depth and structure - I love that your songs are stand alone complete entities, with their own story behind them that made them what they are today. - @krystle

You are indeed quite the remarkable songstress. Your voice is silk smooth and your entries are often seamless with controlled emotion and sweet sounds. I really enjoy the runs you do when you (flutter) across a range of notes like a gentle butterfly and then you transition with an almost wailing, crying depth added into the tonality. This is truly a gem that needs praise and more ears tuning in. The profound reminiscent feel of your lyrics hit home and the heart, as they do succeed in providing nostalgia, encouraging words and memories of childhood. I have replayed it quite a few times and I appreciate you sharing another original entry with us all. Such creativity should be appreciated. - @verbal-d

Kay composed this gem with a yearning to celebrate youth, and to call back into that delightful fray, all of us who may have become jaded with the varied burdens of life that come with age. It’s a beautiful song, written by a beautifully talented artist. This song touched me rather personally, and for that, Kay captured my number two spot this week. - @passion-ground

Steemit Open Mic Week 66 Original Song The Mirror --- by @branhmusic

You are a talented songwriter as much as you are a genuine and skilled performer and guitarist. Without hesitation it is clear to see the amount of passion and emotion you pour into your music to express the inner facets of your soul. It is a joy to see you lay out all the details of your refined artwork for our listening ears. The way you lean and sway with the chord strums and the flowing of your vocals shows the importance of body language in music presentation as well as the intentional effort you display to convey the messages in your song. When you feel the music, you just go with it! Thanks for another amazing original entry. -- @verbal-d

@branhmusic is no stranger to Open-Mic! He's been missing in action for a while however, he suddenly showed up again this week and WOW! He really has a distinct signature style that is quite pleasing to the ear. He truly knows how to tell a great story with his melodic lyrics and guitar styling. I love this guy’s music! He’s a rather talented writer and performer and I hope to see more of him! I would love it if he got on board with the next Songwriters Challenge – now that would be awesome! - @passion-ground

"This is a beautifully written and performed original song from Brandon Hill. He has consistently impressed with his original material, not only as great singer but a mind blowing songwriter. I really love the meaning behind this tune, I found it very relatable and contemplative. A great chill with some expressive strumming and run vocal play that is so goosebumps worthy. " - @soundlegion

Steemit Open Mic Week 66 Every Song Is About You Original Song --- by @kendramoriah

---

"I am really a fan of @kendramoriah she write another fantastic original piece. Groovy, fun and full of attitude and the selling point for me is that incredible vocal, those high notes are hit so pure and clear, right up to this delicate end that is flawless. Incredibly catchy I will remember this song " - @soundlegion

Kendra is a newcomer to both Steemit and the Open-Mic venue. Just like I feel about @branhmusic, I sure would love to see Kendra jump head first into the next Songwriters Challenge! She clearly has been gifted with a plentiful dose of creative abilities, and I just love her style and delivery! The story she tells here is one that I’m sure is very familiar to us all. The back and forth internal battle’s we all endure and wrestle with as we try to move forward. Her verses are in stark contrast with the overriding choruses, which capture the distinct inability to let go, while the verses speak to the freedom and independence of once again being on one’s own. A beautiful composition and performance by any measure. - @passion-ground

---

Well I just absolutely loved everything about that entry, you have a stunning voice used to beautiful effect throughout this song - when I realised you wrote this as well, my instant thoughts were "well we have another serious contender". - @krystle

Open Mic Week 66 Victoria Lucas And The Woods --- by @matiasfumagalli

@matiasfumagalli's "Victoria" By Lucas And The Woods Cover Song
I pick my winner's list by many categories and variables. And your entry right here was just amazing and I felt was a bit overlooked and underappreciated. You have such a nice quality to your voice and the best part is that you sing with passion and no fear. The overall presentation of this great cover choice was how you belted our your emotions and intentions through the music making it an instant connection with feeling. When you share such conviction with talent to play piano as grippingly well as you sing, it is hard to ignore. Thank you for this entry, I have never heard this song before but my only fear is if I listen to the original artist, maybe you sing it better than they do and it will disappoint me lol Either way, can't wait to see what you perform next. - @verbal-d

---

You just absolutely nailed this entry into Open Mic, what a passionate and brilliant performance - your playing was just sublime and your vocals were spot on. - @krystle

Steemit Open Mic Week 66 Original Feeling Bitter --- by @addiesworld

---

Addie is another of our most esteemed Open-Mic performers who’s been flying deep under the radar lately. She’s come back into view here this week though with a rather profound original composition entitled “Feeling Bitter.” If I were to venture a guess, I suspect that Addie is not referring to the bitter cold that many of us have been recently experiencing but rather that familiar bitterness that is associated with life’s general frustrations. If I were to go out on a limb and venture yet another guess, it would be that this rough and otherwise superb composition that she’s penned expressing such sentiments has done a great deal of good in sweetening the flavor of that which she, like many of us, struggle through on a day-to-day basis. She sure made things feel much sweeter and better for me after listening to this. - @passion-ground

---

"@addiesworld rocks this original song out in her rose colored glasses. Such a gorgeous vocal, great lyrics intensely strong delivery. Addie I am huge fan of your material you always come through and give us something really special. That chorus hits ya just right "come and tell me this, can I have a kiss, I need a dose of reality, so I dont learn to twist my perception" oooo great stuff girl" - @soundlegion

---

I love that you seem less burdened by sharing your amazing talents with us, I know how daunting putting your unpublished work out there can be - but girl whenever you get behind that guitar and start to sing, you never fail to take me on a magical musical adventure I never quite expected. - @krystle
