Steemit open mic week 77, @timothybusker, Song: "Shape of my heart" writen by Sting

in #openmic7 years ago

This is my entry to the 77 week of open mic.
I recorded this on my phone but sang and played through my PA-system to get a little reverb.

Song: Shape of my heart, writen by Sting.

Lyrics:
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the Jack of diamonds
He may lay the Queen of spades
He may conceal a King in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart

Hope you enjoy
With love and respect

Been listening to your Greatest Bastard cover all week long :D
Glad to see you have a new one but like Serena, I can't seem to play it. The video is unavailable, it says.

Hey Timothy! love these lyrics, and Sting, and can't WAIT to hear you sing it! Alas, the video isn't working. Is it just me?

hmm works just fine when i press it..

Weird, maybe because I'm on my phone.. I'll get on my pc later tonight when I can and see if it works. I couldn't find it on your YouTube either. I'll get it figured out eventually. Just happy you're posting a new vid, honestly.

Am I the only person in the world who can't play this video?
blank stare

Could it be accidentally set to private instead of public? I've done that before.

Perhaps youtube took it down due to copyright issues. They do that sometimes.

Video isn't working for me either :-(


Do you want to EARN CURATION REWARDS AUTOMATICALLY and help independent musicians?
HERE'S HOW


Your video is not working

Can I make another post for this weeks open mic? I dont know what went wrong..
