Feb 2022 singer-songwriter wurlitzer one-take songskirmish s020722
This one was a bugger
I wrote 3/4 of a song and scrapped it about a blood thirsty unicorn
I might circle back later
The theme for the skirmish was rags to riches
I really loved it and hopped on even though I was late to the party
I think this character has some bones
An unreliable sort - just the kinda character I dig
The lick is annoying - I used it in my first FAWM song this year - but it wouldn't go away with this dame.
Such is the way sometimes!!!
Enjoy!!!
The Rags to Riches Baroness
i don’t smoke
Don’t drink
Don’t care what other people think
I don’t lie
Or steal
You'll find no meat in any of my meals
Well who am I?
Haven’t you guessed
I’m the Rags to Riches Baroness
I’ve got homes
All around
Some even underground
I’ve got ears
Everywhere
Test me if you dare
The paparazzi will not mess
With the Rags to Riches Baroness
My life
is one of great renown
Ignore the whispers
They haven’t found
The body yet
but don’t forget
I’m the Rags to Riches Baroness
The Rags to Riches Baroness!

This does feel like a character in a musical, somewhere along the lines of Auntie Mame. The wurlie is absolutely charming, and that shift towards the end has a very midway/carnival feel. This is a lot of fun, I'd gladly watch this stage show.

Was loving it already but inserting the 3/4 section has me completely me hooked. Great skirmish and there should be a musical about her!!

some of this reminded me of a movie i saw last night about princess diana's nervous breakdown at chrismas.

Good storytelling. The picture is crystal clear until... Great surprise ending. Well done.

I love how catchy the chorus is! My favourite part
"Ignore the whispers
They haven’t found
The body yet
but don’t forget" (I can feel the narrator winking slyly at this line)

You should be a household name!
This is all kinds of wonderful. :-)
@robynmackenzie Feb 2022
Super catchy and jazzy! I can picture this in a melodrama.
@keithcuts Feb 2022
Sassy fun!
Cool little ditty
An enjoyable listen
Fun toe tapping theater feel. Nice!
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
This is a colorful portrayal of a character I probably wouldn’t trust — but I wouldn’t forget her either! Nicely done.
@erbaer Feb 2022
I like this plenty. It's a cool, spare structure. I like the switch to 3/4 time. I want to hear about the blood thirsty unicorn... so get cracking

Hello again! Love this one! It really didn't go in the direction that I thought it was going to go - the clean living psychpath, great concept and lucidly and expertly executed. Going to have another listen right now.
