Well considering weak hate (and this season) is near it's closure, may as well throw one in here ;~))
I wrote this song "Musical Soul" May 13, 2023 and am about to send it in to a competition. This take was recorded yesterday afternoon (March 08, 2023) and like all of my recent releases, is a live recording with no overdubs, instrument additions, pitch correction (though there are certainly a few spots where it could use such love), etc. I know many of these competitions are just scams, but I am going to enter it for a few reasons:
1. No fee entry
2. Fits well with the theme of the competition
3. Not worried about copyright issues (as a matter of fact, posting it here will help me prove ownership if there were ever any copyright claims to be made)
4. I have nothing to lose!
All that said, here it is, any feedback appreciated ;~))

<Verse 1>
My thumpin' heart
Pumping out vibes
The beats they start
Sooo deep down inside
Revin' like a race car
Rollin' down lifes track
Turning static air waves
Into tone attacks
<Chorus>
Can you hear the cry
Of my musical soul
Carries me through times
Both hot and cold
Can you see the sky
Of my musical soul
Clouds and storms they rage
Bright sunny days shine bold
<Verse 2>
From my youngest days
Been a part of me
My lifes religion
It is my deep blue sea
And after all these years
I finally can hear
The harmony of my spirit
Ringing crystal clear
<Chorus>
Can you hear the cry
Of my musical soul
Carries me through times
Both hot and cold
Can you see the sky
Of my musical soul
Clouds and storms they rage
Bright sunny days shine bold
<Bridge>
Thunder claps
And lightning strikes
Sunlight cooks
My minds own sites
Fixin stews
Of visions in
My mental
Grey matter bin
<Verse 3>
So hop on the vibration
Mop up the modulation
Cop the intonation
Of this soul's reverberation
Take a trip on the melody
Stripped of all zealotry
Just pure soul chemistry
Me climbin' through my head's tree
<Chorus>
Can you hear the cry
Of my musical soul
Carries me through times
Both hot and cold
Can you see the sky
Of my musical soul
Clouds and storms they rage
Bright sunny days shine bold
<Outro>
Rainin' (Reignin)
Rainin' (Reignin)
It's rainin' notes
From my musical soul
Video in the next few weeks ;~))
