Skirmish: Mixtape (@lyricslinger)Liner Notes
#skirmish #nostalgia Liked the prompt for this, coming from an age when we used to do this sort of thing...
Lyrics
We used to record the top of the pops Only the good ones never the flops Hoping that the dj would eventually stop Waiting for the end of the song
And we'd record music, from old forty fives Think of the order, nothing was random What should go next, what follows on What makes a statement for our lives?
It used to take a whole afternoon And another one to fine-tune I hope you will be happy with this mix Hope you don’t want to eighty six me It took a lot of time If listen to this maybe you’ll be mine

Super stuff. Had me from that opening couplet. Great fun arrangement and a very fine lyric to boot. This subject is certainly landing with a few people! 😊

I love this song. Really good reflection on those days when people spent so much time picking out and refining just the right songs in the right order!
And apt that FAWM's image when the song plays is of a cassette tape ...

I like the texture in the production and I also like your voice, the affect you’re taking with it. Fun stuff!
