Skirmish: Tense moment (@atornberg)

Liner Notes

I'm a freelance photographer, now retired. It doesn't matter for how long you've been in the business, preparing for an event is always stressful. You check your equipment 5-times over. Then you put your stuff in the car and you sit at a red light worrying about something you might have missed. #folk #singersongwriter #pop #ukulele #guywithukulele #skirmish

Lyrics

A Photographer is Mr Ready on the Spot!
Ya gotta be ready cause if you're not,
You ain't gonna get your shot.

Camera1 , Check.
Camera 2, Check
Flash1, Check
Flash2, Check
Lense 1, Lense 2, Lense 3, Lense 4, Check Check Check Check Check Check Check
Do I have enough film?
Oh, get a grip! Ya ain't gotta worry about that no more!

But what if I'm Late? I know I set the date,
But is it right? You know it might not be tonight! I'm a
Wound-up pretzel of Fright

Mr. Ready on the Spot, that's me
Anywhere I go, I'll be
the guy you can depend upon.
The guy you can depend upon.

I kinda read it as being about a photographer, yes, but maybe also one that has issues with stress, maybe OCD, something like that adds some dephts to what otherwise seems like just a silly song.
