Liner Notes

#onetake #robbery #singersongwriter More of a literal take this time. Nice prompt!

Lyrics

We’ll take the guards who patrol by the door You’ll be waiting with the van round the back There’ll be no violence, if you throw your phones to the floor No time for heroes, this is more of a cash-back situation

But someone has to be a hero Now he’s covered in blood, but he’ll get through the night A bonefide Robert De Niro He just wasn’t able to put up a fight

Anyone else want to try? Anyone who thinks we are joking Come and look me dead in the eye No? Yeah that’s what I was hoping

And the robbery goes on as planned In and out in under ten minutes Nothing really got out of hand Even bravery has its limits

What a great story and I really like the melody too. Bonafide Robert DeNiro is a great reference as is "even bravery has it's limits'. Great direction on the prompt and i like the spare instrumentation with this storytelling.

I agree with Jeffrey ... it's a 2 minute heist movie! Love the swagger of the narrator. Well executed, like the robbery itself.

That is so good. An entire movie in 2 minutes 9 seconds. Lots of attitude. Love your voice, and love this line exactly where it falls in the plot: "Come and look me dead in the eye"
