Different points of view

Interesting prompt. This time I played with different views both lyrically and in terms of tempo. Bit rough but a different take on the prompt
Lyrics
What will we do tomorrow The weather should be nice Something to lift our sorrows We could hike up to the heights, tomorrow
I think it’s going to rain It always does on Mondays That’s what I’m expecting That’s why my knees are jumping, tomorrow
You never want to go out anymore What happened to our life You’ve turned into such a bore Just fretting and causing strife, in our life
I just don’t want to go outside It’s not the same as it was Don’t take it as an assault to your pride It’s only just because, I don’t wanna go outside

This struck home. During FAWM my poor Carmen barely sees me and we narrowly avoid echoing your protagonists in this super song.
I like your use of "tomorrow" like an echo of the rhyme in the first verse. Neat! Good use of an energetic strum for Narrator #1 and a more dampened one for their partner.
Hej I imagine a couple where one of them feels that they are very grown up and mature and must do chorus att any priser. Its so interesting how we all with our backgrounds and perception interpret the prompts som differently. Well done
Oh I think anyone in a long-term relationship can identify with at least some of this. Well done. I like how the point of view switches back and forth in alternate verses. Would be interesting as a duet. Great stuff!
