Skirmish: The Villain's Lament (@tarahenton)Liner Notes
My entry for the Skirmish "Villain's Lament". Definitely enjoyed taking on this character.
It just goes to show, you can't have everything.
Lyrics
We would make schemes to change the world But then I went too far and now you hardly say a word
I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes The spark has been gone since I blew the moon out of the sky
What good is a giant space laser If it can't light up your life You just aren't impressed With my new doomsday device.
I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes I guess I should have thought of you before enslaving all mankind.
Solo x2
I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes You said you'd do anything for me but I guess that was just a lie.

Been there, Done that. Sometimes when you flesh out dreams it freaks people out. Good song
Big smile listening to this and I had to chuckle at the grungy kazoo solo! Some great lines here too, excellent work sir 👌
A ballad with kazoo - yay! Creepy, serious, hilarious, and fun. Well done!
Awesome. Makes me think of a lot of Jonathan Coulton songs. Mad scientists got it rough to be sure on the dating scene.
What good is a giant space laser If it can't light up your life?
Killer line that. Love the slow rock-ballad pacing.
Ayyyyy Jeremy! Welcome to FAWM! Love this performance. Your voice is perfect for these lyrics and arrangement. I LOVE the poetry of "since I blew the moon out of the sky," at first I wondered if it was talking about a dragon or a mythical creature who could literally blow the moon from the sky, but the space laser is pretty great!
Very good. I was drawn to the song by the title, wondering if it was going to be linked in some way to 'Behind Blue Eyes', one of the most famous songs about a villain.
I love the angle that you took - there's humour but also it's maybe not as funny as it first appears when you think of people like Elon Musk and his space ambitions
Brilliant! "I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes I guess I should have thought of you before enslaving all mankind." is my favourite line. Love the kazoo!
"The spark has been gone since I blew the moon out of the sky" is a HILARIOUS line. How do you not laugh when you sing something like that? Playing it straight with a really over-the-top premise like this song is awesome.
Great work, Jeremy. You too, Kazoo. This is a good song.
