Cold Enough for You?

Skirmish: Cold Enough For You? (@metalfoot)
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I checked out FAWM 's fab "Struxxure" tab in its "The Muse" section on the site and chose to go with here for this #ColdEnoughForYou #skirmish : Ch, V, V, Ch. I hear this write in song with acoustic guitar and/or piano, soft drums, and as a sweet, tender lovesong. Why not collab--add your vocals and music to my lyric!

Skirmish: "Write a song that has the title or uses the phrase "Cold enough for you?" in it. This is a standard phrase used in places like Manitoba on a day like today, where, if it were not already a holiday (in Canada it is 'Family Day' or 'Louis Riel Day' in Manitoba) schools here would be closed on account of the cold.

"Have fun with the topic/title. The song doesn't have to be about the weather... there are all sorts of ways you might use the theme!

"And as always, it's good Skirmish practice to spend some time listening/reading what others in the skirmish have come up with. Cheers!

Lyrics

[Ch]
Guess we're both shy, Melissa
Tongue-tied when each is around
Am I cold enough for you?
Or a quiet love you're glad you found?

[V]
When the furnace wasn't working
How you gave me a call
Fixed, then sat together after
No talking we had a ball

[V]
Was never looking for something
But there upon us it fell
Being alone with you
So much we each didn't tell

[Ch]
Guess we're both shy, Melissa
Tongue-tied when each is around
Am I cold enough for you?
Or a quiet love you're glad you found?

I like the use of the furnace repair.to.merge the analogy with real life.

We'd love to make something for this one, Chris. I like how you've built a sense of character and place in just a few words. Well done.

This is a great portrait well painted... Really fun in the ilk of PMs Lovely Rita! Really hope someone does it musical justice!!! Write on Chris!!

What a cosy little love story to warm the heart. This write is tender and sweet, gives me an old time jazzy vibe. Really lovely!

I love how you used the prompt to write a love song! My favorite part was “Am I cold enough for you? Or a quiet love you’re glad you found?”

I'd be curious to hear Melissa's side of this one for sure! Good writing.
