Dedication: for the devs who fixed "the shims" By private-link only CUT TO: November, 2024. To some, the shimmer seemed to stretch on forever... Yet I myself felt confident that it would all soon be resolved. In fact? I began to imagine the day when a few might begin to actually miss the shimmer... And so I wrote this parody of "Gimme Shelter." This song shares its cadence and some of its instrumentation -- yet sounds nothing like it. The first (country/folk) version of this track was never made public -- as I'm also not doing with this one. So aside from a few dozen creators -- who discovered it on my [shimmercore] playlist? You probably never heard the original. [intro] Whoo-whoo-whoosh Whoo-whoo-whoosh.... [verse] Oh, a void is threatening My Suno song today If I don't get some shimmer? Oh yeah, I'm gonna go complain Listen, kids... it’s just a shim away It’s just a shim away Listen, kids... it’s just a shim away It’s just a shim away Oh, the clear tone’s rattling My weary mind today I want those fast blades clacking And long to hear their sway Listen, kids... it’s just a shim away It’s just a shim away Listen, kids.... it’s just a shim away It’s just a shim away The lack of clatter’s threatening My very life today Gimme, gimme shimmer Or I'm gonna go complain Listen, kids... it’s just a shim away It’s just a shim away Listen, kids... it’s just a shim away It’s just a shim away It’s just a shim away [Outro] It’s just a shim, it’s just a shim, It’s just a shim away… A shim away A shim away [fx: helicopter blades softly rotate away] [end] Somewhat original lyrics by LKN With thanks to "The Rolling Stones" Circa November 2024 New arrangement 6-23-2025 FB, X, YT, & Suno.com/@lucky_nobody Discord: LKN3
