Nightmare
Skirmish: NIGHTMARE (@corinnecurcio)
Liner Notes
Saw the skirmish at the top of the hour but didn't get properly started until about halfway through...this is about 20 minutes from idea to recording, I think? Fun prompt!
Lyrics
I think this house might be haunted Something just doesn't feel right Now that I'm thinking about it This isn't the house I was in at the start of the night
Oh, let me wake up Tell me it was Just a scary dream Bring me back to Sunlit lands where I won't want to scream But you could hear me
I try to run but I can't move My legs feel like they're full of lead I try calling out to you But there is no sound coming out of the hold in my head
Oh, let me wake up Tell me it was Just a scary dream Bring me back to Sunlit lands where I won't want to scream
Oh, let me wake up Tell me it was Just a scary dream Bring me back to Sunlit lands where I won't want to scream But you could hear me

I really like the melody and the glimmer of hope in the lyrics. We share the (pretty common) image of the legs made of lead !

I love this chorus! Such a fun interpretation of the prompt.

Really nice, especially but not only for such a fast write! My favorite line section is: Bring me back to Sunlit lands where I won't want to scream But you could hear me

I love the rhythmic quality of the chorus. It’s hypnotic. Very hooky!
