Well, I couldn't really set a skirmish and not have a go myself. Slightly beyond my rudimentary piano skills, but hey ho it's not about perfection eh...
MEDICINE
I am my best enemy
Friendly fire raining down on every step I take
Traps cover the map
Setting weather bombs to break all over me
It gets harder but your armour seems to shade me from the worst
I enter demolition derbies but you get there first
And for all my fever dreams I concede
You might be the best kind of medicine for me
They shun this broken face
Can’t say I blame them for escaping while they’re free
It’s blowing up a gale
How come nothing seems to shove you off your feet
When the pharmacy’s got nothing and my doctor’s at a loss
You could be the remedy the alchemists dream of
Leaking through the tourniquet
Yet you stop the blood loss by the kindness of your eye
Helping me forget
Lending me the energy to rise above the fire

This is epic! I love this song. It reminds me a bit of some of Sandy Denny's piano songs. You play piano beautifully! This is a gorgeous song, well skirmished!

Leaking through the tourniquet

I enjoyed this romantic interlude - thank you Andy.
I love the way you describe everyday things in this, brings it to life and gives very vivid images. Love the vocals.

Love does sometimes seem to be the best medicine. I like the melody and accompaniment Much more complex than most of my sngs,.
@porrectus Feb 2022

@tunecat Feb 2022
Some great changes. I think the piano sounds pretty great. The song is sung with great panache. I find only good in it!
