Good Vibes Only

NSFW Skirmish: Good Vibes Only (@guitargabe)

Liner Notes

Very late entry to the skirmish that I wrote in like 30 mins yesterday and then didn’t have time to record.

How are y'all? I'm avoiding the news and becoming dangerously silly. (My government doesn't believe in trans people, but I don't believe in them ✅♟️)

Lyrics

You said "I don't believe in you" Well I don't believe in you too Money's fake and so is the law I'm gonna do what I want from now on

Good vibes only, I'm not bypassing I just stopped giving shits about fucked up things You can set the world on fire I’m gonna toast marshmallows on the funeral pyre

Ahhh we're going down It's a rollercoaster Ahhh let's scream real loud And hold each other closer

Fascists hate silliness So let's clown on those losers each chance we get These guys want to be feared So when you call 'em sad babies they get so scawwed

Meanwhile I'm gonna chill with my friends And make weird art and eat things from their gardens You can set the world on fire We're gonna sing camp songs round your funeral pyre

Ahhh we're going down It's wrecking ball day Ahhh I love the sound Of the building swaying Ahhh it was a fucked up building anyway

It didn't comply with ADA regulations (And it was racist)

Good vibes only, I'm not bypassing I just stopped giving shits about fucked up things You can set the world on fire I'm gonna toast marshmallows on the funeral pyre

Good vibes cuz I love myself And I'll keep dancing through each fresh hell You can set the world on fire I'm gonna sing camp songs round the funeral pyre

YES! I'm all for roasting marshmallows on the funeral pyre.

Believe it or not, the statue quo is up the tubes. But your song is funny and well played.

Yup. Fascists hate accordions, ukeleles, silliness and sanity! This is brilliant, and you are an amazing musician of such profound depth and have an innate ability to tickle the funny bone in the most unique and thought provoking way. Flaming marshmallows are coming for you, fascists.

Can I song be cheery and angry at the same time??? I like the descending Ahhhs for the rollercoaster. Favorite line: "You can set the world on fire / I’m gonna toast marshmallows on the funeral pyre" Truly mad. Great tune.

Heck yes. I feel like some things need to collapse so the rest of us can live.

Hell yeah. This is delightful. Toasting marshmallows on the funeral pyre is a great image. Thanks for sharing this one!

There's a deeply rebellious, devil-may-care feeling to this that is deeply punk notwithstanding the tune tuneful, happy ukulele and vocal performance. Sometimes all one can do is laugh, and this delightfully unbowed feel-good track, maintaining joy in the face of everything that's wrong, is a powerful response indeed.

This is EXCELLENT. I am laughing at my desk. That chorus is PERFECT. Cheers to burning it all down and leaning into silliness!
