Feb 2022 s021022 skirmish baritone uke
Thanks to @cairobraga; for this fun prompt, "train station"
waiting for the train
at the station
trying to stay warm
keep it moving
it is late again
people gathered in
Flipping through phones
hands freezing
trying to look it up
to find a reason
can’t hear the announcement
speakers crackling
something about
an engine seizing
stress is building up
anxiety increasing
am I gonna be late to the new job
something about get the bus in
Waiting for the bus
at the train station
trying to stay warm
keep it moving
it is late again
people gathered in
Flipping through phones
hands freezing
trying to look up cars
for a ride in
can’t get one to come
so many of us are on, the server’s crashing
can’t hear the announcement
speakers crackling
something about
an engine seizing
stress is built up
anxiety increasing
am I gonna be late to the new job
about to grab my bike and ride in
whew! now I don’t have to wait for a bus
train or a car
trying to stay warm
keep it moving
riding over the bridge
people gathered in
pedaling in the wind
hands freezing
trying to look out at the view
to find a reason
the traffic looks real bad
speakers crackling
something about
an engine seizing
but we got a bike lane
freedoms increasing
am I gonna be late
will she be understanding
somebody calls to me
look to my left wow it’s her sayin’
hey new guy, let’s ride
hey new guy, let’s ride
hey new guy, let’s ride
it's a nice day for the season

Wow. Great job. Great lyrics and the music also tells the story with those tempo changes. Brilliant.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Great story telling - love the emotion and tempo change that takes me on this anxiety filled journey with you! Great ending!
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
Love the surprise ending. The accelerando as things got more dicey was a cool idea. All in all a very good skirmish outing.

Have you been spying on me? I love the build to frantic! A very fun song!
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
ha, this is great fun, and I love how the music echoes the mental state of the narrator- very creative and fun!
@taracraig Feb 2022
What a great ride this song is! Love the changes to match each mode of transport and the growing sense of urgency. I felt each one, very effective. Wonderful turn at the end. Super fun take on the prompt!
@jtsteam Feb 2022
oh this is a familiar scene! I love how it gets more and more panicked.
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Neat how as the stress increases the poor little uke is forced to scream it's little throat out lol and your own throat probably suffered too !
Really enjoyed the cute ride, and the payoff at the end.
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Whoa! This is wonderfully frantic! How'd you do this so fast and so well?
