FAWM: "Gold "

Gold

Liner Notes

DEMO written, performed, & produced in Logic by Kate E. Stanton 2/23/25 for FAWM #singersongwriter #dreamy #harp #piano
I recently attended a composer's workshop with the instruction of creating a song based off of specific pitches tied to letters in a name. I chose M-O-L-L-Y (Gb, G#, D#, D#, C#) for my inspiration and created this for my daughter.

Lyrics

Gold
You came in the dark, where light was so far,
Lost in my loneliness, you are a star.
A dream I’d hoped to see, & hold so tight,
Innocence bold, like purest light.

Heart of gold
My shining stone
A ray of hope in all I've ever known,
In your eyes,
I want to be
The very best
version of me.

No money buys what I have found,
This treasure of gold, she's always around
floating freely in my mind
freely in my heart like
an inner child

That’s why I love you.
I love you,
heart of gold.
I want to be the best version of me.

Lovely, lovely song. My mom used to sing to me to wake me up, but it was always along the lines of "Get your lazy butt up--you'll be late for school!" Yours brings more...meaning! ❤️

Great work made with the starting point, nice tribute, vocal effects really stand out and elevate.

Beautiful and haunting melody. I love this kind of challenge, it often leads to something very different and compelling. Your lyrics are delightful for this.

What an interesting challenge. I like what you've create within those constraints. Lyrically, it's quite a loving tribute to your daughter. Such a nice sentiment....

I heard about this technique but I just cant recall the name... Bach used it quite often in his works.

Your song has sweet lyrics. I did not expect the choir part bug yeah that's cool
