Steemit Open Mic Week 103: "A Lack of Color" (Death Cab for Cutie Cover) by @k0wsk1

I'm back from a mini-break from the Steemit Open Mic (and Steem in general), and glad to be here! I hope everyone has been well these past couple of weeks :) For my submission this week I recorded a lil cover of a DCFC song that is very close to my heart. I have loved playing this song since the day I learned it, many years ago. I hope you enjoy my cover of "A Lack of Color":



Original Track:



Lyrics:

And when I see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around, turns you around

If you feel discouraged
When there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
From absorbing everything, the spectrum's A to Z

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
All the girls in every girly magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone

I'm reaching for the phone
To call at 7:03 and on your machine
I slur a plea for you to come home
But I know it's too late
And I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay

This is fact, not fiction
For the first time in years
