Liner Notes

#skirmish #one-take
Another fine prompt, which resulted in this...

Lyrics

Scrolling through endless pages, only the glow of the screen,

A world of filtered lives, where nothing’s as good as it seems.
Heartbreak in the pixels, tears streaming in the code,

Digital sorrow, there is no tomorrow

I type out my feelings, but they vanish in the ether,

Time to detox, got to take a breather
A ghost in the machine of a disconnected dream
Things are never what they seem

Likes can’t fill the void, shares can’t mend the pain,

Digital sorrow, falling down like rain,

In a world that’s always on, I still feel alone,

Lost in the shadows. a heart turned to stone.

Digital sorrow, in the lives that I borrow,

A hollow tomorrow, in this digital sorrow

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

A minute five? Too short, @gordon . Seems like u just got it started, then it was over before its time.

Really like the sound of this, the texture of your voice here, and your performance. Also the lyrics. Also the music. Listened three times. What I'm trying to say is, I think I like it!!!

Love the line "In a world that's always on I still feel alone" You picked the right title and made a great song out of it
