All Time Low
Skirmish: Point-Counterpoint (@briggs)Liner Notes
#acousticrock #skirmish After going back and forth, I did the obvious thing and wrote the opposite of my previous title.
Lyrics
What happened to us Riding on an empty bus I think you know It’s an all time low
No one shows up for the games Our best friends misspell our names I think you know It’s an all time low
We started out so sure of everything we know Now the voice that says keep going comes from a tarot video
We always got bad advice Now we listen to it twice I think you know It’s an all time low
I’m speaking to an empty room Even my chatbot says we’re doomed I think you know It’s an all time low
We started out so sure of everything we know Now the voice that says keep going comes from a tarot video
What happened to us Riding on an empty bus I think you know It’s an all time low

That’s a great way to respond to the prompt. Lots of emotion and poignancy in the lyric. Wonderful development of the hook. Very effective delivery. Well done!
Agreeing with the comments on the lyrics, nicely written and performed. Catchy stuff indeed!
those lyrics are awesome!! some real gems in there, capture that feeling perfectly! can imagine this recorded with an oasis/ beatles style production too :)
Oh yes! This really shows a couple scraping the barrel of life. Some great lines. But this couplet is ACE "We started out so sure of everything we know Now the voice that says keep going comes from a tarot video"
and this one too: "I’m speaking to an empty room Even my chatbot says we’re doomed" 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow this captures the current so well and I love the careful performance.
