    My haunted toyshop lyric was actually more like 20 mins :( because I had one 3/4 completed and 35 mins in I deleted the lot by accident. 3rd time it's happened this FAWM in skirmishes. I am hitting the wrong hot key combo, it seems the delete hot keys on my writing prog are right next to the rhyme list ones :(

    Just listened to your epic submitted for the Traditional Ballad challenge. Wow. It's so theatrical or cinematic. I can imagine a cartoon accompaniment for this tale.

    If you revisit this, I'd tone down the reverb/echo, which tends to distort too much at points. The story really draws your audience in, but the overdone echo ensures that they will have to follow the story with the lyrics to hand at points.

    I take it from your name and accent that, like me, you're an Irish Scouser by birth, are you?

    Hi guys happy new FAWM

    I'm not posting this to FAWM as I only did the vocal and final mix in February. But...

    If you have time feedback would be welcome. (It's quite long so getting friends to listen has been hard.
