Liner Notes
#skirmish #singersongwriter #acousticonetake I plan to work on the lyrics more. The direction and arrangement changed several times over the course of the hour and I Ianded here. Not a bad start for song. This is one of the reasons that I love skirmishes!
Lyrics
Ghosts Skirmish
F C Am Em
I saw a ghost this morning… in my crazy eyes
The light seemed so motionless… in my crazy eyes
just before the dawn.. in these crazy lies
I walked across the river.. in this crazy time
C E F The sky is alive with mysteries and the night divides the day But I’m just living here, in a perpetual haze

Fun stuff. Really like the fingerpicking and that's one of my favourite 4 chord progressions in the verse. Good stuff!

I can’t wait to hear more, it feels like a great start to a number of good stories that could be told. Sounds pensive, like trying to get your bearings straight again

Very cool - great job! I'd love to hear this fleshed out. It reminded me of The National a little.

Nice start. Like the guitar tone and the song has a haunting tone. Good start as well with the lyrics

This is damn fine for an hour! Wow! I'm loving your vocals and your guitar picking! The "crazy eyes", "crazy lies", "crazy time" phrases work so well in this! Oh and I love the title/hook, "Perpetual Haze"!! I just kept wanting you to snag the line "All in my eyes"! Really nice work here!
