Big Blue Eyes (Moonfall)

Skirmish: The Villain's Lament (@tarahenton)

Liner Notes

My entry for the Skirmish "Villain's Lament". Definitely enjoyed taking on this character.

It just goes to show, you can't have everything.

Lyrics

We would make schemes
to change the world
But then I went too far and now
you hardly say a word

I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes
The spark has been gone since I blew the moon out of the sky

What good is a giant space laser
If it can't light up your life
You just aren't impressed
With my new doomsday device.

I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes
I guess I should have thought of you before enslaving all mankind.

Solo x2

I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes
You said you'd do anything for me but I guess that was just a lie.

Great work, Jeremy. You too, Kazoo. This is a good song.

@thwingbill 2w

Been there, Done that. Sometimes when you flesh out dreams it freaks people out. Good song

@andygriff 2w

Big smile listening to this and I had to chuckle at the grungy kazoo solo! Some great lines here too, excellent work sir 👌

@pfoo 2w

A ballad with kazoo - yay! Creepy, serious, hilarious, and fun. Well done!

@spidersinatrenchcoat 2w

Awesome. Makes me think of a lot of Jonathan Coulton songs. Mad scientists got it rough to be sure on the dating scene.

What good is a giant space laser
If it can't light up your life?

Killer line that. Love the slow rock-ballad pacing.

Ayyyyy Jeremy! Welcome to FAWM! Love this performance. Your voice is perfect for these lyrics and arrangement. I LOVE the poetry of "since I blew the moon out of the sky," at first I wondered if it was talking about a dragon or a mythical creature who could literally blow the moon from the sky, but the space laser is pretty great!

@lyricslinger 2w

Very good. I was drawn to the song by the title, wondering if it was going to be linked in some way to 'Behind Blue Eyes', one of the most famous songs about a villain.

I love the angle that you took - there's humour but also it's maybe not as funny as it first appears when you think of people like Elon Musk and his space ambitions

Brilliant! "I don't see the same sparkle in your big blue eyes
I guess I should have thought of you before enslaving all mankind." is my favourite line. Love the kazoo!

"The spark has been gone since I blew the moon out of the sky" is a HILARIOUS line. How do you not laugh when you sing something like that? Playing it straight with a really over-the-top premise like this song is awesome.
