Skirmish: “MAGIC” (@corinnecurcio)

Liner Notes

#skirmish #harp #onetake Well , something different again. Picked up the lap harp for this one...It's not magic, but it could have been...

Lyrics

A spark unseen, a fleeting breeze,
 Dancing softly through ancient trees.
 For every star, in every time,
 Magic lives outside your timeline

Blooming in laughter, wild and free, 
Dreaming sailing endless seas 
A touch, a glance, a whispered word,
 Magic burns where hearts are stirred

Magic lives where thoughts are found Sometimes buried underground Magic for a new tomorrow Replacing faith forgetting sorrow

(C ) words and music G Todd 2025

I'd never heard (or heard of!) a lap harp. What a...magical sound! Great write, too -- favorite couplet: "
A touch, a glance, a whispered word/Magic burns where hearts are stirred" Great skirmish.

Excellent take on the skirmish. The last verse is so hopeful. Interesting music..It sounds like magic fairy dust! Good job

such a striking and unusual instrument, the lap harp (is it kind of like an autoharp without that bar at the bottom?) and an intriguing and charming lyric- nice work!

Lap harp sounds sweet. Very cool feel to this.

Thanks for your comments on my skirmish song.. This song is really good, I love the lap harp and lyrics really give a mystical feel, unicorns and pixies. Great job
