Skirmish: Camera Ready (@atornberg)Liner Notes
#skirmish #pop #electronic
Couldn't do the skirmish at the time but I really liked this prompt so I did it later. Took me a while to find the groove until I found a commercial Amapiano drum loop. I used the top part and sped it up a bit and voila. Given the long time and full production ths is obviously not a skirmish product but I had fun with it so figured I'd hang it in the skirmish spot anyway.
Synths: Vital
Ascension
Sektor
theRiser (Transitions)
Guitars: Guild D-25
'73 Fender Stratocaster
Amp: '78 Marshall Mk II
Constructive criticism is always welcome. Tell me all about it!

Lyrics
Camera Ready
Verse
Comb my hair
Wash my face
Gotta be sure
Every little thing is in its place.
Straighten my tie,
Cock my hat
Hold it steady
I'm camera ready
Chorus
(Camera Ready)
Keep it in focus
(Camera Ready)
Framin' the scene
Little touch of hocus pocus
Special effects
In front of a green screen
Camera Ready
Pumped some gas,
Got some cash
Cleaned the bathroom
Took out the trash
Bottle of fine wine
Preview a good time
Got me a pedi
I'm camera ready
[Ch]
Bridge
It's good to have followers
Great to have friends
But what's really gonna sell it
Is how you come through the lens
Ya got to be
Chorus
(Camera Ready)
Keep it in focus
(Camera Ready)
When you're makin' the scene
Pitchin' that hocus pocus
Special effects make you
Look lean and mean
When you're
[Ch]

EDIT: Had to listen back a day later and now it's even better!
The narrator of the song maybe road weary but certainly knows how to play the game.
