Steemit Open Mic week 109, Cover a Steemian initiative

I finally got around to entering the steemit open mic contest again, for week 109. A hundred and nine weeks of the contest, is that awesome or what?

This entry is also an entry for @pechichemena's cover a steemian initiative. This song is based on a poem written by Serena Matthews, known as @paintingangels on steemit. You can read her poem at this link.

I really liked the poem when I read it, and before I was even done reading it, there was music flowing in my head to go with the words. It took me a few days to get the chord structure worked out to my satisfaction, and then I had to figure out the arrangement for the song, the usual music writing stuff. I actually find it easier to write music based around someone else's words rather than writing my own words, but that subject is perhaps best left to a different post.

Here is the youtube link to my video entry for this week's open mic contest.

I would like to thank all the people involved with the Open Mic project for continuing to keep this project alive on steemit, all the backers, the sponsors, the judges, and the musicians who participate in the contest.
Thank you for your continuing efforts!

Thanks for stopping by my page to check out my open mic entry, eh!
