Skirmish: Bits And Pieces (@lyricslinger)Liner Notes
Another loop song. I have a very basic pedal so it's the same thing over and over and I realize I tend to want to sing in some sort of bluesy b minor. Added a little vibraphone last minute, here goes!
Lyrics
Bits and Pieces By Rachel Eve Feb 21 2025
(Bits and pieces, bits and pieces, Bits and pieces on the floor)
I worked all day I worked all night Sweat on my brow To get it right
All of the hours That it took To make you something special Something that I thought was good
But you never saw it No never even gave it a chance No you just left it in Bits and pieces on the floor
Crash it came down With a great force Shards all around Beauty no more
All of my love Sent to waste And Iām not sure how you can face yourself
when you ever saw it No never even gave it a chance No you just left it in Bits and pieces on the floor

love the looping and the contrast between the fast background "bits and pieces" and the slow pace of the chorus lyric
This song is so charming. The loop, the song and that touch of vibraphone really brought it together.
I dig the background loop you built. But what I really dig, is how you sang that nice bluesy vocal melody over it! Great take on the prompt and a very enjoyable listen! Cheers!
Great use of the loops. I love the bbbb as though even the bits are in bits.
Ooh I love how you've used the loops here, sounds really original and exciting to listen to. Especially like the harmonised vocals, but kudos too for each building block you add. And that's before I even get to the lyrics... what a cracking write this is š
You have done a phenomenal job with the loops - really effective bits. I love the sandpaper blocks, the marimba, and the background loops with your gorgeous vocals delivering the well crafted pointed lyrics. Cool jazzy feel and nice juxtaposition of joyful music with the lyric.
Really interesting cross between blues and something else that I can't quite put my finger on (or it could be old ladies dull brain syndrome lol). Love it :)
Nice lament, and a scary moment. Really impressive sound for an impromptu flow.
Very inventive to have the 'bits and pieces' playing on loop in the background - very effective! And I love the bluesy nature of the song. Sounds really good
Wonderful loop. The blues comes through in your vocals. This is song has come together extremely well. Just shows how simplicity is many times the key to make something really resonant. A great success!
