It's Your Birthday
Skirmish: A birthday song (@metalfoot)Liner Notes
Sorry it's late. I was having fun recording it.
Lyrics
It's your birthday though you're a long time gone I'm thinking about you and it feels kind of wrong You haven't called me in a long, long time But part of me remembers you as mine
It's your birthday and it's funny though I don't know why I can't let this go Admit it's different than it was before Ignore the calendar and close the door
Cause I can take a hint I can read between the lines I am smart enough to know It's time It's time
It's your birthday why can't I forget Probably forgot me long ago I bet No traces of me left fr you to find Nothing about me comes across your mind
It's your birthday you're a long time gone

Great song and great singing, too! It's a classic.. of course you can't help but remember a lost love on their birthday....
Nice one! A power pop birthday song, sort of...I like those last verse lines, no traces of me left for you to find. I like this arrangement too, this would make a really good band song, it's depressing but rocking which is kinda my wheelhouse I guess
Thanks! I think that's why I was dawdling so much recording it. I kept wanting to do more more more!
A relatable story, with good strong emotions and delivery. Good quick writing.
Very cool song. The lyrics really match my feelings on some days of the year…Your singing reminds me of David Bowie, especially in the chorus.
