Feb 2022 s022822 skirmish secretagent fuc
I wanted the standard "secret agent" riff in 6/8, and the inspiration came from a rousing game of I Spy I played with a friend's kid while I was in San Francisco. I had more to add to this but once I got to the big reveal it was like, what else is there to say really? One of the many skirmish lessons I've gathered over the years.
I spy
With my little eye
Something askew
Something is missing
And I’m not sure what to do
I spy
In the shadows
The dark periphery
An empty hole
Black as coal
Where my heart used to be
So who’s the thief
Who could it be?
I’m on the case, gathering clues
A stealth double agent
Who stole my heart
But all the while, deep down I knew
Darling it’s you
Darling j’accuse

Ooh, I did a detective like song myself...seems to be an underlying theme this year, I have found a few....I love your tone on this and playing, of course I love the hook. Great rhymes! Second verse is awesome! Oh wow...that was way too short for me...if you add to this, I hope you put in a cool instrumental, this is a keeper!! Love the vocal!

Fantastic.... and that bond theme .... makes the track just a little more compelling...
well done, you're singing up a storm too, my friend. Such an enjoyable listen. And in a skirmish, sacre bleu!

I second the nomination that this belongs in a Bond film. Wonderful skirmishing.
@elesimo Feb 2022
OK, this song should be in the next James Bond movie. Or a movie about secret agents. Or a show like "Only Murders in the Building". It's amazingly good!

A sweet puzzle that. Unwinding as it goes. Good write.

Wicked cool song. Great sound uke, great sounding voice. Nice easy lyrics with some meaning. A little French and there you are. Awesome job, great skirmish.

Crikey. When will you write something that's not just plain great?
@treble Feb 2022
Wow, what a great skirmish song! I love your lyrics, music, singing, -everything! Very interesting ending.
@wylddandelyon Feb 2022
Awwww, this is sweet. Nice playing, wonderful singing, great playful lyrics. I'm smiling!

I love that chord on the third line of the verse (and the second line of the chorus!). What a cool way of making the prompt into something great!
@liz561 Feb 2022
Great singing! Wonderful take on the prompt. Love j'accuse!
@sheilerk Feb 2022
This is great!! I love the secret agent man musical beginning, and the kid's game incorporated, then the morph to the romantic angle. So well done!!
@vegansongs Feb 2022
Skirmish skills- Great lyric and your performance sweetly delivers.
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
This is a great take on the prompt! The lyrics are excellent, and so too is the performance. Very nicely done!
@whispermouse Feb 2022
Ooooh, the vocal is very "Bond theme," and it's great. Awesome skirmish!
