For the Tuesday 2/22/2022 Skirmish where the prompt was ‘Learn’
Trying to teach
This old dog the tricks
Trying to reach
Trying to fix (myself)
Trying to learn
It’s all I can do
To not crash and burn
And to see this through
Learning all the new (X3)
Cut me some slack
There’s so much to know
It’s tough to be back
In the classroom, on show
Learning all the new (X3)
But it’s what you’ve gotta do
It’s what you’ve gotta do
When you’re learning all the new
Trying to teach
This old dog the tricks
Trying to reach
Trying to fix… myself

Well done you skirmished!

I love the air of mystery. I would usually think of “the new” as the big things that everyone is talking about so it is eye-opening to look at the other side of it and feel the fear and hesitation that might go with walking into the unknown. It’s a fresh angle.

You have a good rhythm going with your hands. Put this on top of a band track and it would kill. Good skirmishing.

Excellent. This was your first skirmish?! Well, you aced it! I hope you had fun, and that you do more. I loved your hand clap percussion and the great rhythm of your song. It's so relatable for some of us (me) who is always being brought up short by technological changes to learn to navigate. Thank goodness for google and YouTube University! ;)

Congrats on your first skirmish! And a very successful one it is! Just a vocal and hand claps work really well here. Nice expressive singing and lyrics. Thanks for joining in on the skirmish!
@tunecat Feb 2022
You’ve got some different rhythms going on contracting the different parts of the song. I applaud your bravery for doing this a cappella. And congrats for your first skirmish.

I like the vocal and body percussion simplicity. Really nice work. Great lyrics, well done.
@mccannrs Feb 2022
Wow, really cool! Kind of gives me a Fiona Apple vibe! You've got a great groove going, and I really love the texture of just solo voice with percussion. Nice skirmish!
@jtsteam Feb 2022
Nice beat! I enjoyed that one - I've only done a couple of skirmishes but it's great fun to see what you can do in an hour!
@andygriff Feb 2022
Oh yes Autumn! What a fine first Skirmish of FAWM 2022! Totally dig the way youve done it with only knee percussion too :D
@keithcuts Feb 2022

I dig the percussion
