Skirmish: No apologize no regrets (@acousticmaddie)Liner Notes
Well, couldn't help but think of the Walker Brothers for this one, so name checked Scott in the first verse. Nice prompt
Lyrics
No apologies and no regrets Just like the song Scot Walker sang No apologies and no regrets What would that feel like, not to be contrite?
Would you lead a different life If you didn’t have to think of your actions? Would you be sharp like a penknife Enjoying your own satisfactions?
No apologies, even when you’re wrong No regrets, no matter what you do No reason to put it in song Only to thy self be true
Would life be any easier Living without consequences? Would your life be sleazier If you didn’t have to put up defences
No apologies, no regrets, Say goodbye to common sense

A nice twist and exploration of the prompt. "Would your life be sleazier if you didn't have to put up defenses," and "say goodbye to common sense" sums it all up perfectly.
I like the slower flow, again getting an R.E.M. vibe (at least their slower tunes). Excellent lyric.
Interesting meditation on what we'd be missing if we didn't have at least some regrets. It's not a pretty picture.
I like what you did with the prompt. Thats a very soft and heartfelt delivery. I like the last line 😂 even though I might not fully agree
