Earth Tones
NSFW Skirmish: What kind of blues are th... (@dudachris)Liner Notes
#acousticonetake #blues I started the skirmish 30 minutes late with technical difficulties, so I tried to keep it simple. The skirmish suggested a stylistic critique of a musical kind, but I turned it in the direction of fashion.
Lyrics
What kind of earth tones are these Were you sitting out under the trees Did a big cloud of dust hit you in the ass With the very first breeze
What kind of earth tones have got Were you there when the desert got hot Were you working sitting by the sea Secretly And this time got caught
Any color is an earth tone it’s true Just overlay the basic hue with tan Purple pink chartreuse and blue Anybody can
What kind of earth tone is this Did Mama Gaia blow you a kiss Were you showing off your dirty work so you could get your name on a list

This made me chuckle. It's all very light hearted and tongue-in-cheek, but oh that 'dirty work' line. Hmmmmmmmm, me thinks there's something more to that.

There was a moment when I thought earth tones were brown, green and glue... Ocean, ground, trees... This song makes me chuckle and then chuckle again at myself 😀 😂 Great job and thanks for sharing 👏 👏 👏

I really like the lyrics. They really paint a picture.

I love the novel take on fashion and it's pretensions, and how you wove it into a pretty trad blues song. You ticked all the boxes on this one !

Very creative and original take on the prompt. Fun to listen to.
