FAWM: "A Stranger Here Myself"

A Stranger Here Myself

Liner Notes

This was my second attempt with the prompt as the first one really wasn't working!

Lyrics

Don't ask me for direction, dont ask which way to go I can't make a connection, I really do not know I lefr my travel guidebook at home upon the shelf Can't tell you where your eyes should look I'ma stranger here myself

I'm a stranger here myself A stranger in the place I really cannot help you A sad event to face For though you may be lost or found upon a tidal shelf I only say "See you around" I'm a stranger here myself

Don't ask me about cafes, don't ask me about bars I'll look as if I'm in a daze I'll always bear the scars I'm really not acquainted with fairy or with elf My memory is tainted I'm a stranger here myself

Fun ditty full of telling detail. When we are on holiday I am often asked for directions by random tourists, I suppose I should take it as a compliment that I look approachable. But it does get wearying. Next time I will sing them the chorus of this one. 😀

Cool take on the prompt. I like the lightness of your song - from your bright cheery uke to your clever and cheeky lyrics. Great skirmish!

I want to go somewhere with a tidal shelf? Do jellyfish keep their treasure maps there?

I like how you used the prompt! Clever! Very catchy! 👌 👏

@deandra 1d

So many good lines (some already mentioned in the comments). See around-- thank you for the fun song!

@corinnecurcio 1d

This is so clever and fun! Great take on the prompt! If you don't mind: The only line that gave me pause was "I'm blacker than I'm painted" - I'm not acquainted with that expression and not really sure what you mean by it. But I like your song!

@strumandstress 1d

Line changed for clarity

I am so glad you came back to this and gave it another try, I adore this song. It's catchy and a lot of fun. You packed so much into such a short song but it never feels crowded and just chugs along once you get started. Nice skirmishing!
