Let the Sunlight In
Skirmish: Distinctly Human* (@zinnithequeen)Liner Notes
Being warm is a bad thing for a computer--they need to stay cool at all costs, and the cost is freshwater (yay!). So of course one doesn't know how it feels good to feel the sun <3
Not to mention wrestling with your own feelings and trying to be authentic to yourself, I'm sure computers will never know how that feels :(
Lyrics
D F# Bm A
Sunlight Through a tiny little window Through the crack between the boxes That make up all the things I want to keep in this life
Is this all there is right now-- Is a little ray of sunlight To remind me that there's still the light of day?
I've always tried to be hopeless But there's a part of me that's optimistic And everyone says that's a good thing But they don't realize that--
Toxic positivity is holding me back from Exquisite sadness Could I cry And really mean it this time?
A little ray of sunlight Through the corner of the boxes That hold everything I decided to Continue to own Was this a mistake?
But maybe if I give it time I can finally feel what it feels like to be sad For once
Bm D G F# And the little ray of sunshine Warms up my skin but just a little bit And I know I'm searching for another silver lining
But what's sadness without a little speck of hope at the end? I can see the light at the end of this tunnel And I know that I'm just starting to begin 'Cause what's sadness without hope for a brighter day So let that ray of sunlight in
Let the sunlight in!

This is gorgeous. I can literally feel the warm ray of sunlight through your song. Warm is good for humans but not computers, and the complicated mix of sadness and happiness is what makes us human... What a beautiful interpretation of the prompt! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful take on the prompt. So wonderful to listen to your song, singing and playing.
What a lovely set of lyrics, especially the ray of hope we get from simple things like the sun. I think you have captured the human experience here. Good job!
Fine response to the prompt.
Oh there are some really classic lines here:
"I've always tried to be hopeless"
"Toxic positivity is holding me back from Exquisite sadness"
"But what's sadness without a little speck of hope at the end?"
