Steemit Open Mic Week 70 - The Bike Song (An Original)

in #openmic7 years ago

Hello fellow steemers

My entry for this weeks open mic competition is a little song titled: The Bike Song. It was written as part of a new album that I am in the process of writing and recording. The song engages with feelings of joy after seeing a family member recovering from an illness but it also has a melancholic undertone that suggests how we often fail to learn from our mistakes.

Lyrics

I hope your on your bike again
going through the motion
and its going to take some time
till we rest at home

But nothing ever changes
oh, but nothing ever changes

And its that time of year again
oh, when you lend a hand
its only when
you warm cold bones

oh, but nothings ever changing
oh, but nothings ever changing

Your bike could fly away
Over all the rooftops and into the bright night sky
to forget those sad days when sleeping on the floor
and crying why do we dream of wonderful things
of wonderful things, that a new life brings
it keeps us moving along
it keeps us moving on

I hope you enjoy this one
Thank you for your support

Is Bike a synonym for something else? I wonder, haha, someone back with an ex who they should be clear of?
Sounds nice man, reminds me of Keane. Some nice guitar playing.

haha yes thats right! The idea of the bike was a kind of analogy for overcoming sickness and having the strength to ride again. But really its open to any form of interpretation : ) Thanks for listening
