Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #blues
I started the skirmish 30 minutes late with technical difficulties, so I tried to keep it simple. The skirmish suggested a stylistic critique of a musical kind, but I turned it in the direction of fashion.

Lyrics

What kind of earth tones are these
Were you sitting out under the trees
Did a big cloud of dust hit you in the ass
With the very first breeze

What kind of earth tones have got
Were you there when the desert got hot
Were you working sitting by the sea
Secretly
And this time got caught

Any color is an earth tone it’s true
Just overlay the basic hue with tan
Purple pink chartreuse and blue
Anybody can

What kind of earth tone is this
Did Mama Gaia blow you a kiss
Were you showing off your dirty work so you could get your name on a list

Very creative and original take on the prompt. Fun to listen to.

This made me chuckle. It's all very light hearted and tongue-in-cheek, but oh that 'dirty work' line. Hmmmmmmmm, me thinks there's something more to that.

There was a moment when I thought earth tones were brown, green and glue... Ocean, ground, trees... This song makes me chuckle and then chuckle again at myself 😀 😂 Great job and thanks for sharing 👏 👏 👏
