Turn off all the noise

Skirmish: TURN OFF ALL THE NOISE (@corinnecurcio)Liner Notes
Not really sure what this is about, but here it is anyway.
Lyrics
Turn off all the noise
It’s hard to hear myself think
Turn off all the noise
It’s enough to turn a man to drink
Turn off all the lights
I need a moment to breathe
Turn off all the lights
Before I lose what’s left of me
Turn off all the lies
They’re clouding up my mind
Turn off all the lies
I’m running out of time
Yeah turn off all the noise
It’s getting way too loud in here
Turn off all the noise
I’ll have myself another beer

Well done -- love the economy of language here. You say so much in four short stanzas. I especially like the noise/lights/lies/noise progression. Great skirmish.

Now listening to the first song. I had (wrongly it seems) assumed you'd recorded two versions of the same song, but you've done two different songs, in a skirmish. And then I saw from your profile that you've done 168 songs so far - holy moly! That's some seriously impressive output!
This has a more laid back feel than your other one, but it still a belting song. That shaker really grooves along. This is seriously impressive skirmishing! Well, just seriously impressive all round really!

Love the discord in the guitar! And the vocal delivery is spot-on as well. Top-notch vibes overall.

Enjoyed listening to this - sometimes we need to turn it all off just to be able to relax. Good skirmish!

Enjoyed the steady beat. I feel the despair in the vocal and lyric. I liked how the verse turned into lies, with a deeper meaning. Nice work.

Noise can make us crazy, or crazier! Good one!
