A Flame As Cold As Ice
Post date:

Liner Notes:
I got to the zoom a bit late, but they told me about the prompt: use the following words in a song "frying, pan, ice." Here's a super fast one that succeeded in the challenge.
Mic: Roland R-05 handheld recorder
Guitar: Yairi FY-46 (she's beautiful)
Lyrics:
Frying my brain on CNN
It's almost over before it begins
Drowning in the pain of the world
That refuses to compromise
Burning in a flame as cold as ice
Burning bologna in the pan
The smell is more than I can withstand
Drowning in the pain of the world
That refuses to compromise
Burning in a flame as cold as ice
Doesn't mean that I don't love you
But I can't go on like this
I remember the things you'd do
I can still taste our last kiss
Waking up in the middle of the night
Wishing you wouldn't start another fight
Drowning in the pain of the world
That refuses to compromise
Burning in a flame as cold as ice
Burning in a flame as cold as ice
Please keep your comments respectful, honest, and constructive. Please focus on the song and not the demo.

Nice take on the prompt! I like the concept of a flame as cold as ice, and using that to reflect a relationship, and of the status of the world. Effective. Gotta get mine done!
glad you jumped in on the "frying pan ice" thing... (i did mine late late Tues night). I love this- so many great small details here, love the major-to-minor chord change on the word 'flame' and 'drowning in the pain of the world that refuses to compromise' is really a killer line, and sometimes so sadly true.
yeah it was a good prompt and you used it well! very strong lyric and the guitar holds just right!
Like this. Burning bologna in the pan had me laughing but then it got back to reality pretty quick. From drowning in the pain of the world to something more personal. Really nicely done. Had my full attention all the way through.
I've come across a few song from the Tuesday Zoom session. I like that line: "I can still taste our last kiss". That - my man, struck a chord with me. From a productions perspective, knocking this out with a handheld recorder is pretty freakin' impressive. Always a pleasure to take in your tunes, my dude.
What a lovely take on the prompt. Intimate and heartfelt. I never would have guessed that this was recorded on a handheld--sounds well-balanced and clear to me. This is really nice.
Great take on the challenge! That first line really caught my attention, and the song really surprised me! Love how you talk about politics and love with such few words. Really good!
I really like the dichotomy of "a flame as cold as ice". This is a beautiful song and I like the differing examples of "drowning in the pain of the world". Really felt the emotion here.
