Feb 2022 ss020422f skirmish superskirmish olympics acapella
Well, I set the prompt. So I tried to go a little fancy but my tiredness betrayed me. If this were not a skirmish I'd do another few takes but SKIRMISH ON.
4 vocal lines: me
dreams are made
dreams are lost
athletes pay
enormous cost
all for what?
a little hope
for a little
coin of gold
standing tall
standing proud
readied now
cheering crowd
time to make
their big show
on the mark
time to go
olympic dreams
olympic hopes
let the games begin

I love me some acapella singing. This was fine.
Like your narrator, I don't really get all the fuss about being an Olympic Champion. Especially some of the more bizarre sports like hammer throw or discus.

Wow a capella harmonies, love it.! FAWM and the Olympics all at once what's not to be excited about? Harmonizing with yourself really is a magic trick. We used to sing a capella for lent not that I was any good at it but always looked forward to it. I'm going to go watch the Olympics now.

This is the second time this FAWM I've been inspired to try my hand at acapella - you nailed this. Your parts blend so well. Sounds like you had a lot of fun doing this one.

This sounds very Olympic like right from the get go. Very anthemic

Freaking gorgeous! These harmonies are so beautiful. I'm so jealous wish I could do this!

I really love the feel of this. It could be that you're tired :D but it has a strange energy I can't put my finger on. It's not sluggish, or feel out of place by any means... I don't know I'm getting sleepy myself, but got at least one more skirmish to participate in(I better since I'm hosting).. its actually quite bluesy.
Always love the quartet harmonies and am always even more amazed when someone can do it by themselves, especially in a skirmish setting.

Oh my god. I love your Bom boms! This is lovely. It's incredible to me how many places your different vocal lines go -- there is SO MUCH great melody and harmony in this. Really well done!
@cicpisces Feb 2022
Something original. Really like the arrangement. Had a real feel of an opening ceremony. Nice.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Love love love the harmonies and your wonderful vocals and great acapella vocals. I love the pacing and the hopeful realism.

This is so cool that you did an a capella song! It sounds great. I like the movement of the different harmony lines. Congrats, and get some sleep!
