Liner Notes

#acousticrock #valentine #skirmish I had to gulp when I saw the skirmish topic of a celebrity valentine. It was a subject I knew a little too much about. What would I do? But of course, a conundrum makes a good starting point for a song.

Lyrics

It was such a bad idea But that makes the story epic To lose my heart to someone Far away and cinematic

I should not go to the movies I should not view the reels I should come back to reality But I’m caught here in my feels

Hot on the screen and I’m afraid to look Not on the screen that was the chance I took

I have a new idea I will be some kind of star I’ll make movies of my own Maybe I can play guitar

Maybe I can take a course Learn the tricks of fascination Turn the tables in this story Change the channel change the station

Hot on the screen and you’re afraid to look Not on the screen that was the chance you took

The more I talk about it The ideas keep getting worse I should shut my mouth And leave it to the universe

Or maybe it’s the opposite And I should tell my story Change the names and faces It could be made into a movie

Hot on the screen and I’m afraid to look Not on the screen that was the chance I took

Hot on the screen and I’m afraid to look Not on the screen that was the chance I took

This has an interesting darkness that is unexpected given the prompt. It works really well.

This is such an interesting direction to take the prompt. The menacing tone is really inspired and well done.

I like the warning/danger in your lyrics. Great chorus melody, too. Love the rhythm of this line: “Hot on the screen and I’m afraid to look”

My takeaway is: Be your own celebrity valentine!
