Feb 2022 songskirmish s022322a wurlitzer
Skirmish prompt: "All is fair in love and songwriting"
Earth Calling Bryn
When I write a song
About how you keep
Everything
What I mean
is
You find the magic
The possibilities
You see the hope
Of what could be
When you’re busy puzzlin’
And your beard becomes a shirt
And you’re so transfixed
You don’t see the dirt
Quietly I’m impressed
Though you might hear me growl
I appreciate the equations
You unravel
And Earth Calling Bryn
It’s time to login
Yes, It’s Earth Calling Bryn
It’s time to log off to login

This is an amazing love song - your lyrics and delivery capture what it's all about - great lines and rhymes in there too - when your beard becomes a shirt - visual and visceral :)

A beautiful song. Enjoyed the ritardandos of the melody and the soft longing. An incredible skirmish contribution!
That wurlitzer has a magical sound, as does your voice.

I like the "It’s time to login" line. Modern language. When I was a kid we checked in.

There’s a nice ambiguity to the lyrics (or maybe I’m just being dim!). I love the Bryn/login couplets and then some of the little wurli runs you go on between verses are gorgeous. I also like that I can hear the chair squeaking in the background and the general ambience of you recording - it’s great for the overall atmosphere of a very impressive skirmish song!

“Beard becomes a shirt” lol
This was real cute !
Nicely done!

I loved this listen, short and sweet but to the point. The melody was like spinning on a carousel watching the world spin round, unable to get off…..or log off?

Love the tic tok back and forth kinda accompaniment. Your melody works great over it - like the melody and the synth are dancing. I love these lyrics "When you’re busy puzzlin’
And your beard becomes a shirt
And you’re so transfixed
You don’t see the dirt"
Also, "earth calling Bryn" - it describes songwriting but also FAWM so well. My family does not love the month of February very much! This song was a sung in such an authentic and intimate way - like you are sitting right in front of me - really nicely done! Love your voice!

I really enjoyed this, the song moves along so well. And the creaky chair at the end is a great finish to the piece. I love leaving those audio tails and artifacts in myself.

How sweet the sound of the whirly is charming! The sound of your voice is also really appealing abs wgat a great short song. So impressed!!

I can picture you standing in your kitchen singing this to your hubby at the end of a busy day! Great job! Love the lyric: it's time to logoff to login.

A sweet melody, and lovely playing. And your voice keeps it real, carrying your well expressed lyrics so well. I really like this, especially the busy puzzling verse. That bit about the beard becoming a shirt, what a striking image! It's those things you don't realize will become so special at the start of a relationship. It has to grow awhile. I loved that ending, too. Just a very cool song.
