Skirmish: Happy Endings (@atornberg)

Liner Notes

#skirmish #demo

Was originally going to write a tender and sincere song likening my life before meeting my partner to that of a lonely cloud drifting through life

and then I thought of the line "garlic girl" and followed it with "allicin angel" and had to do a 180

Sometimes that's the breaks

Anyways, fairly straightforward song of endeerment. My partner and I cook a lot and she loves alliums (onions, garlic, etc), cheese, reading, etc.

Also, we're both vegetarians living in Somerville, hence Vegetable Villen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allicin

Lastly, neither of us can fly a plain but I needed a line there so now she can!

Lyrics

Garlic: Your garlic girl my allicin angel my spicy little friend

You stir my pot And that's not all your my happy end your my happy end

Cheese: My curd nerd my cheesy charmer you could land a plane

you book worm you vegetable villen you light up my brain you light up my brain

Onion: My Vidalia Darling You're so sweet you'd never make me cry

You cut me up and with some luck I'll always be your guy I'll always be your guy

I love that you went with the off-the-cuff take! The laugh shows that you were having a great time, and now I'm having a great time. This ones a comical swooner!

The food imagery ties this together so well -- I love how you went with where the prompt took you, and it went straight to your stomach. The giggle and smile in your "mistakes" of your demo feel great, I can tell you had fun making this and that's a great skirmish result.

Nice food imagery that I can almost smell. This is a well-written ode to a love interest. Good work!

Love this... different perspectives! Love how the book worm lights up your brain.
