lyrics
s’sich Donnschtig-Obeverchauf
Am Self-Check-Out tipp ig dr Bio Lauch
Ha Längiziit nach meh
Ha doch mou welle d‘Welt gseh
Jetz isch di einzig Atraktion
d’Kammilletee Aktion
und dass ig zum Schaffe goh
nid emal me muess ds’Huus verloh
Denn lüttisch du a, nur zum es Schwätzli z’ha
über nüt so richtig, und sisch au nid so wichtig
dass mir nüt z‘brechte hei, si jo eh nur no dehei(m)
und glotze uf e Bildschirm und mute z’Hirn
Dini Stimm füllt mis Ohr füllt mi Choof füllt mi Ruum
Wie im Flute d‘Blöterli im Schämpis dr Schuum
Und i däm unverhoffte Rusch vo euisem Gsprächs-Ustuusch
Tuet mi ts‘elleige si… grad chli weniger drus (Tuet’s, mi, grad, chli weniger drus)
tuet’s mi grad / chli weniger drus
s’isch nid perfekt, jo klar
und viellicht au es bitzeli sonderbar
die Gsichter hinter dr Maske versteckt
aber d’Auge strahle wunderbar
wöu jetzt luegsch du mi a, nur zum es Schwätzli z’ha…

(freely translated into English:)
Thursday evening in the (grocery) store
at the self-check-out undisturbed
remembering I once wanted more
didn’t I wanna see the whole world
now I get a feel of sensation
when there is a sale’s occasion
and I don’t need to take a shower
before my office working hours
but then you call, just to have a chat for a bit,
about nothing at all, and it’s not important
that we haven’t much to say, since home is where we stay
watching TV, letting our brains go easy
your voice fills up my ear, my head, my home,
kinda like the bubbles in Cristal’s foam,
and in this unexpected buzz, of exchanging words between us
I feel a little less like going nuts
it ain’t perfect, sure
even a bit peculiar
faces hidden behind masks
but eyes with a glance that grasps
cause now you look at them all, just to have a chat for a bit…

Me and my following crowd did it! We wrote a song together within a week!! For a whole week my followers have shown me their musical preferences/taste by leaving comments or using my story-surveys on facebook, instagram and tiktok (@geeblaire).
They motivated me to freshen up my songwriting game again!
Monday was harmony day, Tuesday beat day, Wednesday music arrangement, Thursday was lyrics and inspiration day and on Saturday we released the song and named it: Ustusch Rusch (exchange buzz)
Thanks so much to everybody for participating in this songwriting game! Poll song vol. 2 will be coming soon for sure!
