Happy FAWM! I'm still working out the kinks of the DAW I'm using so I'm aware of some annoying little crackly sounds in the recording but I still think it's a step up from voice memo-ing.

Lyrics

MAKE A MELODY
by Rachel Eve - Feb 1 2025

Stillness of the morning
Sunlight in your eyes
Coffee on the table
Open to surprise
What might you find?
Peel back the layers
Make some time

Chorus:
The world it swirls and moves a million miles a minute
You can barely breath
Your sorrow cannot hold it all so rest a while
Make a melody

Quiet of the weekend
Turning of a page
February’s shadow
Bringing longer days
Roots that grow
beneath the fallen leaves
Compost for your longings
Last night’s dreams

Chorus

Darkness of the evening
Sacred time for rest
Moonlight on your shoulders
Do what you love best

Chorus

Love the melody and you have a gorgeous voice. Great feel and touching lyrics. Well done!

@russkeys 2w

This is so dreamy and I love the sound of your voice. I love the sentiment of "rest and make a melody".

I admire your lyric style here (because I find it very difficult). Not too many words but well chosen ones, to paint mini pictures in the listener's mind - just suggestions of concepts so the listener can fill in between the lines with their own interpretations of the message. To me it's about the therapeutic power of writing. Beautiful voice!

Another lovely song Rachel. The melody of the chorus makes it so much of a hook. I just want to listen to it over and again. "February's shadow bringing longer days" Great line. loved it.

Very nice song and your voice is like honey

@caitlin 3w

Ooh, I'm so used to hearing you on piano, this guitar picking/strumming is just dreamy! Your voice comes through so clear and pure - this song is a delight to my ears. Excellent first fruits, my friend! I vote you play this one at The Perch on Friday.

Lovely voice.
The lyrics create a setting without being too wordy ❤️
Beautiful song…

good song. add a tuner to your pedal chain. an out of tune guitar stands out. I mean this as constructive criticism. always check tuning before starting another take.

That chorus is delightful. I am challenging myself to try to write a couple of hopeful songs... I'm not sure I'll be successful but this one is a nice inspiration. beautiful.
