Skirmish: The Finish Line (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
Happy FAWM everyone!
Lyrics
We saw it coming a long way back Right before our eyes, the facade cracked Now we admit the time is nigh We're at the finish line
Don't cry because it's over Don't cry because it's done Don't cry because you'll miss me I'm sorry that I'm not the one
Don't mourn for the future Don't yearn for the past The truth is we Were never meant to last

This is a great ballad, I love the piano part, it's trancy and really draws you in This is so applicable to so many things even though the prompt was about fawm ending, I love the I'm sorry I'm not the one line, and the we're never meant to last, that's just great.

Oh that's a strong tune, put me in mind of Nyman's theme to The Piano. Concise but it says all it needs to, and the harmony on the last line is sweeeeet 😃

Wow, an epic ballad in a little over an hour! Beautiful work, with a 90s sweep!

vocals sound great and the harmonies add so much depth. Melody had a sort of folk tune vibe, but with the synths it's totally different. Like it!
