Hooked on hooks :)

Fanfic material!! Soap Opera Cartoon trash ;p the good stuff
With a Care Bears GOTH Murder Babymetal song? LOL
@JayJay would you want to do silly lyrics for my 15-20 second music bit?! A mini collab? I have a silly yet super sad idea from @wolfkier for this key!! lemme know ;)
Hey, thanks for the comments. Glad you had a successful Fawm!
I am working on finishing songs at the moment but would be interested in collaborating in the future eg. Finish songs
Thank you for listening. You had a great FAWM!
Don't wait until next year come join us at 50/90.
Thx for collab and all your comments, you've had a really good Fawm. Hoping to do a collab album and would like use ours is that OK..
And not a stripper in sight! LOL :)
Thanks.
You're welcome :) You're damn right about the social media thing. I'm just getting old and don't understand what it is all about.
I enjoyed that you write genre for whatever kind of music. Tagging it appropiately may help you to find some collabs. When I started writing lyrics for different styles I just noticed, that the length and use of words can be very different. One rap I wrote has been nearly two pages long - and I wrote a rock song based on 2 stanzas.I wouldn't call myself a lyricist but I'm experimenting and learning. However alt rock is my favourite style to write and I hate writing ballads :D
Psyched to dive in jayjay. I’m traveling and not fully able to focus at the moment. When I get a chunk of time I’ll dig in.
Thanks for listening and commenting. I was particularly interested in your feedback on Feeling My Way and how the guitar was maybe a little too low in the mix. I had a friend outside of FAWM listen and he had the same feedback. Thanks for the critique!
I’m here for some tit4tat. Any particular songs you’d like me to check out? Personally I’d like to get more listens of Feeling My Way and Angel
Thanks for checking out "Thinkabout"; Love the stones, zep and floyd!
Hi JayJay! Hope you've been having a good FAWM!
I love your imagination. Who's to say they aren't? Murakami little ppl are literally little...dragonfly drones for Thumbelina? I digress--enjoy your weekend of rest and music/writing!!
I'm sorry :( I was just trying to lighten it up. I know sleep deprivation well. It's not fun. I hope you can rest up this weekend!

Thanks for your comment on Drag Me Down! I really appreciate it. And I'm glad you liked it so much!
Indeed! You should get a snippet to base your lyric on and the send me a snippet, looking forward to it! Liz
Hi, there! Excited to collab! I have time, and I'm happy to add music to any lyrics you write... as you saw, FAWM is my experiment month, when I get out of my comfort zone and try different things, so I'm happy with anything. If you have a genre in mind let me know!
Thanks for your comments— you have a good point about “Bored” — it is definitely lacking something or a few somethings. At first I thought a slightly pointless feel would fit the lyric but I’m not sure it really works that way.
It is strange to know someone from there, over here in small-town USA. When I met him, I said "oh, Mervyn Peake's island" and he looked at me as if I had just grown a second head.
Hi--just in case you don't see it, I've added you to the (belated) lyrics-first corpse in https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12401/ . Let me know if this doesn't work for you--I know it's late and somewhat out of the blue.
(Unrelatedly—you're in the Channel Islands! A place I've always wanted to see. We have a guy building some cabinets for us right now who grew up on Sark--it's been fun hearing about it from him lately.)
Thanks for your comments on Es ist Nie zu Spät. Sorry I'd forgotten to add the English translation of the lyrics. @grenzgaengerin went back and added them. If you're looking for more hopeful German songs, @feb21sundari has a beautiful one here https://fawm.org/songs/127407/
I’d love to connect with you and collab post-FAWM. I’m KakarikoKate on LINE. (It doesn’t have to be an 80’s cartoon song either) :p
Nor me :-)
Thank YOU~ ~! :)
Hey - I made some music for your song ClickBait. Added the soundcloud link as a comment on the song. This is my first FAWM year, and I'm not so clear on my collaboration etiquette....Really appreciate all your comments on my songs. I'd been meaning to just focus on lyrics, but some things are too fun to pass up.
Thanks for the comment on Paper Boat. I'm the most proud of that song so far (although it needs a ton of work), so it means a lot.
Hi. Do you mind if I take 'World's on fire' (https://fawm.org/songs/128748/) instead? I think it would suit my style more.
@coolparadiso lol I just had his style in mind for the music when I wrote. If only any of us could aspire to Hozier-ness. Big fan. :)
If i could sing hozier i would be very rich
I have finished the song, not in my studio now but will post in an hour or so!
By the way my brother lived on Guernsey for 20 plus years and i visited many times!
Same here and that is why I keep coming back!
You are welcome and congratulations on already crossing the 14 threshold!
Mickey Hart’s Sound Bathing for insomnia my friend. Give it a whirl!
@coolparadiso i’ll do this from now on. Thanks
I was mentally thinking Hozier vibey thoughts when I wrote, but go with whatever flows :)
Yeah if you look at all the lyricists like Cindyrella Kahlo Arthur Rossi etc thats what they all do! It means when i do it it shows as a new song and all on our watch lists get notified! hopefully i can conjure something worth listening to! Bluesy it says in your notes bluesy it shall be - hopefully
@coolparadiso yup done. Thanks for the noob tip lol
if you want people to listen to it when i do it can you take the collab link off of it please or people wont see it as anew song = so same as with Neil
Yup i will take this one thx. Its very like a style i often write. Just give me a few days!
Thanks a lot for your comment and recommendation! I'm happy you enjoyed our fun collab "Skyscraper"!
Do you want to write me something?
haha your messages have made my day! Thunder, thunder, ThunderCats Ho!!
Will you please add a verse dedicated to Brad Evans of Wild Arms 2? haha I drew a shat picture of him on my agenda in middle school. He-Man! I see a theme here--arm muscles. #plushycrushies
You, me, Nadine--Plushy Crushies! Let's do it!
"But the ghost of you
Helps see me through" are some nice lines! I look forward to hearing it :)
awww, Carrot Top Cat! haha No judgment there. I fell in love with the candlestick from Beauty and the Beast. lol
You could always make the CareBears Punk or Goth!? Maybe I'll do Thundercats. I used to watch that one with my brother!
Thanks for responding to Holding Me Now. My collaborator pointed out that I hadn't uploaded her recording. Whoops. It's there now.
indeed! maybe sometime we need to collab
Hey, glad you enjoyed Cupid Slayer. I enjoyed your Valentine treat too. lol
Thanks for your comment on the Cupids in Jeopardy. Aw, shucks.
Thanks for checking out my cheese song! Yes, loving anything more than cheese is a big deal in my books as well. :)
Thanks for listening and enjoying my haiku song.
Hey thanks for the feedback on Rescue. Between you and Nadine I decided to have a go at remixing. I reduced the tremolo depth by a third to soften the headphone issue and per your comment I rebalanced the keys and guitar to bring them up in the mix and boosted the vocals over the choruses. Lemme know what you think!
Hard agree, Operation:Mindcrime is the best metal concept album of all time, by a wide margin. Rawk!
Frog chorus? May i join with whining cats? You made my day. I also don't feel like a vocalist, but I overcome my fear of uploading drafts. But you'll don't hear me singing on the final versions.
Thanks also for your comment on "Hollywood Queen". Haha, I heard the word fugazi in an indie rock song some years ago. No sure if it was Arctic Monkeys or something similar, and I loved the double meaning. Be aware of the historical context!
Thanks for listening to "cats" :)
One day, cattos and doggos will be happy together ^^
Thanks a lot :)
Thank you for your comments on Fluff. Much appreciated.
My cat would eat anything including me.
I called my friend. He's fine, just busy, but now "How are you" has some super nice vocals!
Hey, thanks for the message . I sent you an email.
I got the inspiration from my memories of my grandmother's handbag. Lovely to look at, but deadly to tamper with! :-D
Thank you for the listen and the lovely comment. :-)
Hey...that wasn't meant as criticism. I was just noting that the verses are different. Things went in a more mystical direction, which isn't a bad direction. Looking forward to more of your stuff. Thanks for dropping by a listening to my little song-thing :)
I think he gave up the catching up, but I’m not sure. ;)
Regarding keeping up with yesterday: I had a friend who saved a year's worth of daily newspaper while he was away for a sabattical. Afterwards he tried to get updated on the last year's news. (This was obviously before public internet.)
Thanks for commenting Procrastination. You realize that there might be of little use watchlisting me after this one? It might take until next year (or later) for next song unless I change my habits ;)
@jayjay done!
@shallowcarrot no rush at all. Take the time you need.
I can only dream of writing a song for commercial release, but, hey, stranger things happen in this crazy world lol
@jayjay yup yup. So I'll be honest, I did not think so far as releasing commercially. But yes, if we do 50/50 sounds fine. I'll probably take a day to have the demo ready, but it might stretch to two. Is that okay?
@shallowcarrot nor am I but having just taken one of those course thingummyjiggys, best to set the terms upfront as you never know…….lol
@jayjay do you mean royalty split? If so, it sounds good to me. Sorry, I'm not really familiar with the technicalities :P
@shallowcarrot very happy if you want to plink lol. 50/50 good with you?
Thanks to you too for reviewing my song "Strangers Part 1." And in response to your note on my soundboard, I definitely relate with the feeling of being a one-finger-piano-plinker, haha!
Btw, since you said you rely on collabs with other musicians, would you mind if I tried putting a tune to "The Ribbon Song?"
Thx for listening and writing.
Thanks so much for your words on "How are you". When I'm done with commenting, I gonna call my friend. I need a pause of music anyway...
@dreamscuba if you’re going for the vulvaverse option it’s a meaty challenge but I might be up for it.
Thanks for your comments on Between The Desert And The Oasis...
Sounds like you have some lyrics for me for the vulvaverse journey...Cool.
Thanks JayJay! I was thinking rock as well.
Welcome to FAWM! Thanks for your kind words on "The Tree Remembers". I hope you have a great time here in the community!
