Shining Skies

Liner Notes

I came to this skirmish when it was about halfway done, having just been playing with an AI lyrics generator, so guess what I turned to to try to write my skirmish song a little faster. The skirmish prompt was Lights so I input into https://www.freshbots.org/ three phrases I came up with based on that prompt:
- drone light shows are so much better than fireworks for so many reasons
- putting up and taking down the Christmas lights sometimes feels like a Sisyphean torment
- I can't see the stars but I can be blinded by the glare off cars
Then I told it to make it a pop song in hopes that that would counteract my negative prompts and boy did it deliver. The bridge is still a bit creepy in a dystopian way, but hey, that's reality for you.

I changed up the song format slightly from what the AI gave me because I liked how it sounded better with the second verse going straight into the bridge.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I used to love the fireworks, the colors burst in the night,
But drone light shows stole my heart with their mesmerizing light.
No more smoke in my eyes, just pure magic in the sky,
The drones dance above, telling stories so high.

Chorus:
Shining skies, sparkling lights,
Drone light shows, steal the night.
No more fireworks, just pure delight,
In the glow of the drones, I find my light.

Verse 2:
Putting up Christmas lights, a never-ending chore,
Feels like Sisyphean torment, always wanting more.
But the drones come to rescue, with their synchronized dance,
Bringing joy and wonder, giving life a new chance.

Chorus:
Shining skies, sparkling lights,
Drone light shows, steal the night.
No more fireworks, just pure delight,
In the glow of the drones, I find my light.

Bridge:
Memories of starlit nights, now lost in the city's glare,
But the drones bring back the magic, floating without a care.
Blinded by the cars, can't see the stars above,
But the drones light up my world, filling me with love.

Chorus:
Shining skies, sparkling lights,
Drone light shows, steal the night.
No more fireworks, just pure delight,
In the glow of the drones, I find my light.

Outro:
So here I stand, under the shimmering drone light,
No more fireworks needed, this is pure delight.
In the glow of the drones, I feel alive and free,
Shining skies above, this is where I want to be.
