I think the music does not suit here for a ceasefire, and the allegory needs something slower and evocative.
Salvaged this from what I saw as "too poppy" for what I understood you wanted to say


Said “enough” at 2 a.m.
Back to back we shouldered blame
Our smoke smouldering in the room
Among broken words we can’t undo

Handshakes in disappearing ink
We're fine we say beyond the brink
Where all our conversations bend
Back to where they all begin

then addressing the topic off handed while embroiled in your own story
here I am going for callously casual

Coffee and headlines and morning amends
A new day just brimming with promise
They're calling for peace and ceasefires again
And look there's a sale it's enormous


Thank you for the .wav file . Saw my daughter perform Senator Fipp in Urinetown this afternoon. She is a gifted singer, dancer and actress who thrives there. Smart enough to have used her high school music theatre major to end up teaching high school sciences here. She performed throughout her highschool and university years and since then as well.

Getting back to the video and wav received and looks fine. I now have to go back and mess with timings and effects and I learned new things crafting this project.

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
