Skirmish s021522a
Theme: overcome myself
I had written about 90% of a country female empowerment song from a male perspective, and somehow I deleted the lot. Lost forever. All I can remember is the hook :(
SO, I had about 10 mins to write another song for this skirmish :( I have to admit this was written very very fast - maybe 5 mins. And there aren't many words LOL
I'm thinking something contemporary and nu-disco or EDM or similar. Defo dance, obviously...
Verse 1 (x 8 bars)
This is the only life you have
Live now or not at all
With your heart and with your soul
Don't wait or you will fall
Chorus
Dance like it's your last chance (X 8 times)
Verse 2 (x 8 bars)
Move your body in time
To the drum beat on the floor
Feel the earth and be as one
I am woman so hear me roar
Chorus
Dance like it's your last chance (X 8 times)
Bridge
Sing like it's your last song (X 4 times)
Chorus
Dance like it's your last chance (X 8 times)

These are awesome lyrics Amanda! I know the frustration of losing what you had before but you recovered quite nicely I'd say! Your lyrics are chock full of wisdom! We only get one ride...don't waste it!

Nice!

Love it... I can certainly hear a four to the floor disco-ey, poppy kind of banger. I can also see me doing a job on it too. May I have a go at this please? :)

I immediately hear the beat. great lyrics. Can't wait to hear this with music!

Very catchy! This is awesome for 10 minutes, I could totally hear this with some loud EDM synths pumping away. Nice take on the skirmish!

Yes, I agree, dance track lyrics, very catchy and powerful. Looking forward to hearing them.

This sounds like a pop song in my head. I don't mind it not having many words, the words you have got are catchy and I can hear a disco song in my head.

I could hear this doing just what you want it to do.

Minimalist lyrics that express a lot. THUMBS UP
@keithcuts Feb 2022
cool lyrics for your dance track. I could see it going well with a good beat behind it
nicely done!

It’s a good hook. And I think it’ll work great as a song
