Liner Notes

Submitting my song all of 5 minutes late. When I hosted. Oops.
Might re-record the piano at some point, might leave in the mistakes and move on as part of the charm. What else is #skirmish for?

Lyrics

VERSE 1

I started to fall for you
Around the fire light
Your beautiful smile
Outshone the moonlight
I knew you'd be worth my while
The fire rose in height
You put an arm on my shoulder
It felt so right

VERSE 2

I told you I loved you
Under fluorescent lights
Beneath the cold glow
You held me tight
We watched the falling snow
Disappear into the night
As long as you held me
It was gonna be alright

VERSE 3

I knew I missed you
Underneath neon lights
The loud noises around
Nothing felt quite right
I was swallowed in sound
My heart was tight
I'll be missing you

Lyrics tell a good story from that first moment of love to the end. You made great use of the lights theme. Piano is really nice too, and your vocal melody is lovely.

Thanks for the really great skirmish theme. I wish I had been able to do something better with it.

Good use of the theme of lights, as a point of reference in a love story. A few moments tie together to create a feeling narrative.

Very beautiful loving song. Thank you for your prompt. It has a great potential to lead to multiply choices of interpretations of the mood, style, titles, etc. I've enjoyed participating and listening to your wonderful song, singing and playing.
