Liner Notes

Okay now this is a song I like. And all it took was ditching the autotune, grabbing a guitar, and yelling into the mic. I'd like to think Green Day would be proud.

Speaking of Green Day, the skirmish about writing a song by your favorite band spoke to me. Originally I thought I might try to emulate Qveen Herby as she is also one of my faves, but punk wins every time.

Lyrics

One plus one plus one is ten Can't believe we're doing this shit again You just want to pretend Your manipulation, motivation, waiting on the world to end

Blow it up Blow it up Let the sparks fly, you're a live wire Blow it up Blow it up Sometimes the only thing that melts ice is fire

One plus two plus one is three Can't believe the sheer absurdity Of your lies and jealousy It's all redirection, self protection, peddling a false prophecy

Blow it up Blow it up Let the sparks fly, you're a live wire Blow it up Blow it up Sometimes the only thing that melts ice is fire

Blow it up Blow it up Let the sparks fly, you're a live wire Blow it up Blow it up Sometimes the only thing that melts ice is fire

That guitar is realy reminiscent of greenday. Love the catchy chorus melody. This would works as a proper punk song with distortion extremely well. You really have a great voice! I loved that solo!

I love the guitare strumming. An the double voice. This felt like blowing steam off. Also nice guitare solo. I wish it was mixed higher and maybe with a fuzz so it can take all the light. But it might be just me.

Hell yeah! Blow it all up! Greenday would absolutely be proud of this one

💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥 Ready for us to blow shit up for real. Great lines in here like "the only thing that melts ice is fire." Love the energy 🔥

[pic]

A very nice rocker! Love the energy you bring and the message in your lyrics, especially in the chorus!!! Damn fine playing and singing too! "Blow that shit up" indeed, Robyn "Green Day" Mackenzie!

[pic]

Very fun! And as @brianb3 said, this is perfect "Warning" era GD! I like how the melody sometimes hangs over the chord pattern.

[pic]

Wow, I love how fun this is! I totally agree with @blainev83 that this nails the Warning era of Green Day. (I'm a huge Green Day fan myself.) My partner also thinks it sounds like one of the female punk rock bands like That Dog, and I concur.

I admire how catchy and simple your lyrics are, and how you manage to convery so much meaning with so little lyrically. This is something I struggle with; I am always wordy and more literal than not. I also like the vocal bend you do on “fire” at the end of each chorus. Very cool! And the fuzz vocal shouts at the end are such a fun touch. Thanks for sharing this!

Nailed the Green Day would be proud thing. Very Warning era Green Day. Catchy AF chorus. Great lyrics! Just punk rock goodness all around.

[pic]

This is very catchy and sounds like big fun while recording. I only miss some dirty fuzz!

[pic]

This is full of joy and energy - great chorus refrain a real singalong and some super background shouting going on too. A great political jibe, really fun listen - loved it!

[pic]

Hell yeah! This is great. I need to up my politically charged punk game. You and some others are inspiring!

[pic]

YES!!! Catchy catchy catchy - I love that chorus: the rhythm, the harmonies, the message. I also love that this is a context specific song that can work so well with other layers of meaning. So glad I listened to this!

Two plus one is Fun, fun, fun. This rawks.

Love it ! The music is really catchy and the lyrics well written. I really like the last part of the verses, when it gets faster

[pic]

Boom! Came here for the title, stayed for the insane earworm of a chorus 😀 Top work.

[pic]

Yesssss now this is just hella cool! Besides being catchy AF, this is so clever! This line “ One plus two plus one is three Can't believe the sheer absurdity Of your lies and jealousy“ I had to laugh at the absurdity but also if certain leaders got up and said that on camera there would be a whole lotta their followers nodding along and believing it. Your vocals and harmonies are great too. Loved it, had to listen twice!

[pic]

a masterclass in how to shake off the tools of perfection and just write, sing and be inspired

[pic]

Really great pointed catchy lyric that you deliver with such lovely harmonies and just the right amount of attitude. Fantastic guitar!

[pic]

(rock hands). This is rad and can't agree more. Great chorus and I love the little comments thoughout. You got this, Girlfriend.

[pic]

Fantastically said! Also, the solo, your voice, just everything... the "blow that shit up" at the end, awesomeness!

[pic]

I'm definitely feeling Green Day, but no much in the conventions as in the spirit.

The last line of the chorus has incredible punch (both in the words and the music), the redirection/self-direction internal rhyme is sexy and the The little frenetic guitar riff at 1:30 is delicious. There's a wry cheekiness to the pacing which is very punk rock, and arguably more effective than a blast of angst played straight.

[pic]

Love the double vocals! Catchy chorus. I got a vision of someone with a blowtorch melting a huge block of ice.

[pic]

Wow!

[pic]

Love the hook. Caught my attention right away. Super catchy and meaningful lyrics. Awesome guitar and vocals - this totally rocks 🤘❤️🤘

[pic]

This rocks and the lyrics flow hot like molten lava. Peddling a false prophecy feels like there’s a story there.

[pic]

This is really great this really rocks and also great lyrics

[pic]

Nailed it! This is great. So catchy!

[pic]

sometimes that's just the best way! Great vocal layering and excellent drive from the guitar. good listen

@gm7

Yes...you got that Green Day flavor. Cool for a skrimish. The last line just blew my head offfffff .... thump !!!!

[pic]

You nailed the green day vibe. Cool song and nice way to move it forward in a FAWM skirmish. I haven't tried a skirmish yet. Did you just get an hour to finish?

[pic]

That’s typically the skirmish time frame but I rarely get done in that amount of time lol. This took about two hours.
