Liner Notes

Ever since I woke on the morning of my second FAWM with "FAWM, FAWM, F-F-FAWM" in my head, I've opened and closed each event with a hello/goodbye kind of thing. Done in a "skirmish-y, SOC way.

As it is only the 2nd FAWM, and the 50/90 in the middle, I don't think I can call it a tradition...yet.
Also hit the #F_Am Challenge, while at it..
Anyway...hope you have a great FAWM

Lyrics

FAWM - Makes the darkest month a little brighter
FAWM - Makes the weight of the world seem a little lighter

So many things in life, turn out to be
A little bit less than we hope they'll be, but,

FAWM - Makes the darkest month a little brighter
FAWM - Makes the weight of the world seem a little lighter

Though, it may be the shortest month, we gonna get it done.
Going to write that batch of songs, gonna have some fun at

FAWM

This is the FAWMiest song! Love the whole thing. That last verse captured the whole thing in a nutshell: “ Though, it may be the shortest month, we gonna get it done./Going to write that batch of songs, gonna have some fun” Brilliant. (I also started with a “song-about-FAWM” - a little different take, though… 🙂)

I like the lines: "So many things in life, turn out to be
A little bit less than we hope they'll be..." So true! Glad to see you back here!

@mandolinda 3w

I hope your FAWM sparkles as well. Simple pleasures in life are so rewarding.

I *love* that we got to sit there in the room with you as you got ready and started playing. This was so wonderfully representative of everything FAWM. Awesome start to your and all of our FAWM. This was really inspirational and lovely. Thanks for sharing!!

@celineellis 3w

Cracking first song setting the scene for the month! Ive been chomping at the bit to get to Feb 1st for a multitude of reasons and this is exactly how I feel

@gwynjones 3w

I think you've captured the essence of FAWM with this song...well done!

@jinx 3w

A love song to FAWM! This is really charming.

@nadine 3w

What an uplifting write to start a day. Really needed that.

@jeff9 3w

Really impressive what you did with such minimal lyrics and two chords. Great touch on the axe. Great to see you still bringing it from the CT shoreline.

@squirrelhavenstudios 3w

Nice inspirational kickoff song. FAWM really does make the world a better place (at least, my world). Glad to see you back this year. Good luck!

@coolparadisoMod 3w

Nice guitar and a clever idea! With some truths as well! Nice start! You do remind me of my man bill callahan

@daveyboy103 3w

Love it, you could do movie trailers with that voice.

@dreamscuba 3w

Great that you also hit the F#-Am challenge. Great one man skirmish to kick it all off.

@jimdgreen 3w

Busting a zong, on th first track seen sounds like a plan . . . unless some one else it typing at the same time.

A strong start sir. There some sole peeking out in this one.
