I actually got nudged to do this by the song competition to win an electric guitar (I would love to learn that! but it seems like a different instrument.)
So, here’s my first video. I wrote the song a long time ago, and so it’s a bit more refined than it was at the beginning. Performance wise I can’t help closing my eyes…
Anyway, hope you like it!

Likeable, admirable, singalongable: yes I really enjoyed your song. Clever pick and clever, self-deprecating lyrics - Hank Williams meets Tom Waites perhaps -. Well played. Good luck on the Instagram competition.

Hi Owen,
Great song and certainly not the easiest to play, but you seem to have no difficulties at all playing fingerstyle and singing along. Good luck in the competition! 
Just one remark regarding the forum navigation: I understand it’s your song, composition, lyrics etc.; in that case you should’ve posted your recording in the ‘Original (Not Cover)’ section… I made the same mistake with my first recording published here. If you ask a moderator, they can move your song to the right section.

Bravo on the first share and song, Owen. Sounded great, playing and singing.
Does it have a title? That would be better than the current topic.
I also moved it over to the Originals sub-category.

Hey Owen, I wanted to view your video and hear your song, but I am not on Instagram. Can you post a link on the site here? Would love to listen to it.
Thank you all for the lovely encouraging feedback, I really appreciate it. It’s come as a nice surprise 
@jvlynch I’m not sure if I can do that - I just recorded it on my phone and I don’t have a youtube thing so it’s only available on instagram at the moment. I don’t know if I can upload a video directly here. I’ll look into it!
Here’s a youtube link for @jvlynch and anyone else who doesn’t want to use instragram (a sentiment I understand!)
