Out of the Box
Skirmish: Ode to Spring (@ajna1960)Liner Notes
#acousticrock #spring #skirmish With winter winds howling in the background, writing a song about spring is like imagining another world.
Lyrics
Imagine another world Oh so many years ago Where birds fly between the trees And you can see the garden grow
Imagine another world Where rivers flow like wine Where bees make honey From flowers on the vine
Out of the box To a world under the sky This has to change you Singing glory glory glory
Out of the box To a world under the sky This has to change you Singing glory glory glory gloria
Imagine another world People are just who they are With no disguising it And you don’t have to look very far
Imagine another world That has everything you need You won’t need a treasure chest And I’m sure you will agree
Out of the box To a world under the sky This has to change you Singing glory glory glory
Out of the box To a world under the sky This has to change you Singing glory glory glory gloria

I'm probably describing this weirdly but it kind of feels like there's a tension between the guitar and the vocals and how they're moving - like the vocals are trying to walk forward and the guitar is holding them back? Like...it feels like the strumming is straight and the vocals are slanted if that makes sense. It's really neat, kind of like walking against the winter wind.
The tempest in your musical accompaniment makes me feel I am in the storm, waiting for spring, and you are calling to me. Really cool vibes here -- I'm especially into the way the chorus changes as you sing "this has to change you" and the "glory" line.
This has such a fantastic mood. It's amazing you've been able to find the vibe with the lyrics and the guitar and vocal sound in such a short time. Love it.
The music feels very tense to me, like it's waiting for something to happen. Very powerful. Great skirmish.
