Skirmish: Secret Beef (@melodic)Liner Notes
#superfast #one-take #bluesyshuffle Well it's very early here (now approaching 0700 on Sunday morning and I did't see this prompt until I woke up at 0635, so understandably swift. Plus trying not to wake up the neighbours. Anyway, just managed to squeeze it in. Lovely prompt
Lyrics
I know it might seem strange That my mind is deranged I think of you as my secret beef The things that you do Well they beggar belief
Don't wanna complain Don't wanna shout about it There's something about you You’re no better than a thief Sorry to say, you’re my secret beef
There are so many things That can get a man down Superman had his kryptonite Couldn’t put up a fight I’ll say it again, you’re my secret beef
You don’t earn my respect, so I’ll just say instead You’re my secret beef, till it brings me some peace You smile at the world, while bringing so much grief You’re a cheat and a liar, my not so secret beef

Nice groove, the shuffle beat is a great groove that fits the lyrics and melody. Nice work and a quick write, right on
I like the cozy, full production going on here. Impressive for an hour's work!
Haha I love how at the end it’s not so secret any more! Love the swingy feel to this and the relatable lyrics. Nice job on the prompt!
Oh no! I can think of two people that qualify as targets for your lyrics! Well done, especially since you did it so quickly!
