Mirrors we keep
by @marthie
Skirmish: take a look in the mirror (@fairplay)Lyrics
Mirrors we keep
V1. Take a look in the mirror
Is there anything more you see
Than what is there
A true reflection of who you’ve been.
V2. It has to be the light
Falls in shadows and color on your
Lips and eyes of wonder
Waiting to return to now
Chorus: What do you see
What do you see
What do you see
A gentle hush of a memory
B: Don’t we all get stuck in front of the
Mirrors before the downfall
The dusting off and walk away
Tip-toeing past the broken pieces of yesterday.
Chorus: What do you see
What do you see
What do you see
A gentle hush of a memory
The mirrors we keep
the mirrors we keep
The mirrors we keep
A gentle hush of a memory

Great take. Nice piano accompaniment, Not simple...Complex from my limited perspective

This is such a brilliant take on the prompt - I love the image “a gentle hush of memory” - wonderful perspective and insight beautifully delivered.

Touching song! a performance full of emotion. The noise on the lyric track ends up adding to the atmosphere. You should really try refining this further. Maybe add the subtle noise throughout the track, like listening the performance through an ethereal radio.

You had me from the first soft notes. "Lips and eyes of wonder" is so beautiful. I also loved "What do you see /
A gentle hush of a memory." The chorus speaks so quietly and yet so loudly to me. What a lovely offering.

Oh, this is beautiful Marthie! Such a tender, pretty melody brought to life with your ace piano playing! And of course, your amazing vocals!!! That bridge is my favorite part of your lyrics. It is killer!!! Great work on the skirmish!!

…wow! - very impressive performance - the lyrics paint a picture of a look in the mirror and the combination of a broken mirror and memories is great - well done - i like it…
