Steemit Openmic Week 88- "Barely There" Original Tune

And Now Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Programing...

I think (or maybe hope) that everyone goes through this realization to some extent or another. Part of the journey of self awakening is becoming aware of whats going on inside your own head and seeing how much of it is total bullshit.

Sounds a bit harsh but for many of us, most of our thoughts and emotions are just conditioned responses. Until we begin to really pay attention to where they come from and why and start to see through the programming we are pretty much robots.

This song is a little look at some of the scenery along my personal journey through that process.

Edit...


A friendly stranger on facebook gave me some tips on eq and whatnot and I feel like it really made a huge difference in the clarity of this track so I've added the "remixed" version above the old one. Makes an interesting comparison.

New Version

Old Version


My eyes saw beauty everywhere
My mind was barely there
My lips and toungue were running away
My lungs were pumping air

Did you notice the expression on my face
I was there but my mind was in a race

Always blindly chasing the shadows

Moving pictures hypnotize
And colonize the mind
I'll never look too deeply inside
For fear of what I'd find

Did you notice the expression on my face
I'm still here but my mind has been erased

To the soul the eyes are the windows

But please don't look inside me
I don't know what you will see
Anyway the glass is so damn dirty
I've got to clean them desperately
What I'm looking through
Distorts my view
But if I let the light inside
There would be no place left to hide
ooo

My eyes saw beauty everywhere...


Thanks for Listening :)

Here is some more music I've posted recently.
