Jean Jacket Masterpiece
Skirmish: Good Vibes Only (@guitargabe)Liner Notes
#acousticonetake #folkrock #pop #paintcardchallenge The skirmish asked for good vibes only, and that got me thinking of authenticity, and that in turn had me thinking about the way clothes tell a story. I took two paint colors, jean jacket and masterpiece, and combined them to form my title line. The skirmish prompt had me writing a sunnier story than the template for this kind of song would usually imply.
Lyrics
Some of my friends Buy new clothes every season And that was me too Until I stopped to ask the reason
What do I gain By saying that I’m always new Especially when I know it isn’t true
I want the world to see the real me And that’s the way that it has to be The day I release My jean jacket masterpiece
This jacket has Seen a million faces The sunny days And the busy places
It was there when I stood and watched the sea At the mountaintop It was there with me
I want the world to see the real me And that’s the way that it has to be The day I release My jean jacket masterpiece
I’ll say a few words And the jacket will say a few more And no one will say That we’ve never been here before
The life you’ve lived Is the reason you are who you are You don’t let it go Just because you’ve made it this far
I always said You can let the work show That is true when The progress is slow
I want the world to see the real me And that’s the way that it has to be The day I release My jean jacket masterpiece
I want the world to see the real me And that’s the way that it has to be The day I release My jean jacket masterpiece

This is a very thought provoking piece - I like it's take on materialism
'What do I gain, By saying that I’m always new Especially when I know it isn’t true'
great thought. :-)

What a cool topic for this skirmish. An identity jean jacket worn with a lifetime of adventure. I enjoyed this message and song very much.

Nice way to present a song about a favorite or meaningful piece of clothing. Being eager for the world to see the real you is a wonderful, honest way to live. Great reminder.
