Liner Notes

#skirmish #shine #collaboration I saw Cindy's lyrics and thought they were just lovely! Asked permission to have a go, and here you are...

Lyrics

Shine! 
© 2025 Cindy Prince 

 (noodling and music by myself)

Put on some sparkles 
 Put on your pink shiny shoes 
 Try on an unicorn hat 
 Chase away those blues 



Wear that big belt buckle 
 Maybe some cowboy boots 
 Play that harmonica 
Try on one of those fancy suits



Chorus 
Shine! 
Show off! 
 Have fun! 
And cast off those doldrums! 
 It's about time to shine! 



Put some glitter in your hair 
Wear at least ten rings 
 Try a feather boa round your neck 
Whistle, hum, or sing



Learn to ride a unicycle 
Or play a bongo drum 
 Dance like they do in Argentina 
Pick up a guitar and strum

What a fabulous collaboration from two of the most incredibly prolific FAWMers I have seen. You guys are so inspiring and this song is adorable and so sweet. I really love the music, performance, and lyrics!

I guess "pink shiny shoes" are appropriate for today. Terrific Cindy lyrics and a wonderful set of vocals from you! Great, great collaboration--Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️

Very cool groove for these great lyrics! Love it! Great harmonies!

Surely this is a song for a Saturday. That’s the feeling, anyway. It’s open and full of possibility. I like the use of harmony to highlight important words and moments. I like how frivolous some of the examples are.

Upbeat and joyous lyrics and music...much needed and rather gorgeous!

Wow. A collaboration AND a solo sing in the same hour! Terrific work

Okay, I am super impressed that you were able to complete an impromptu collaboration in skirmish hour. Nice job!

Perfectly shiny! Great harmony and has a playful vibe! Again, you captured my lyric wonderfully! Thanks!
