you don't see a thing (deltarune)
Skirmish: Translucent (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
i was inspired by @robinleaf to continue my habit of basing songs off of my favorite stories and characters, which i normally don't commit to for fawm! this song is centered around a somewhat obscure pairing from an indie video game, but the gist of it is that a TV host and his business partner are in love, and they're both arrogant, emotionally dysregulated individuals who are using each other for their own gain. i didn't take this pairing seriously at first but it's given me a lot of food for thought... i'd watch a sitcom about these guys
i wrote and recorded this over my lunch break in a little under 40 mins!
Lyrics
sometimes i feel translucent like you see through my facade i'm sweating through my suit and stuttering stumbling over dialogue
and you don't see a thing you break into applause 'cause i'm your little miracle i've saved your show from loss
direct me where you want me isn't that what friends are for? your numbers guy, your co-host your emotional support
and you don't see a thing you're turning on your charm we retreat into my dressing room i fall into your arms i fall into your arms i fall into your arms

The lucid vocals over the low rumble of your instrument parallels your song's two characters. I really enjoyed this one
Really like your writing style a whole heck of a lot! Your voice is also really nice, the way your delivery is on "dialogue," love that! Looking forward to keeping up with your songs this month!
ooh I really dig the melody on this one, especially w/ the chord progression in the B-section! 😁 such a fun lil indie rock jam!
You put together a really good song in 40 minutes - that's amazing in itself. Lovely melody and you sing it well. The ending was an interesting and surprising twist. Great skirmish!
What a complicated and rich relationship dynamic to explore. Sweet short song that left me wanting more 👀🎥
