@schlimminycricket Feb 2022
@owl made sure that the first FAWM song I heard this year was sick as hell
https://fawm.org/songs/125844/ -
@elesimo Feb 2022
@mikeskliar knocked it out of the park with this one: https://fawm.org/songs/125354/
It's SO good. A political song with humor and clever rhymes. Just perfect. -
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
Thank you @elesimo !!! There’s so many songs I’d like to recommend by so many people but I’ll have to come back to this thread tomorrow. Meanwhile everyone here is amazing!
-
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
I'd be remiss if I didn't put this https://fawm.org/songs/126481/ gem from @stmon99 here

@frenchcricket Feb 2022
@owl does the best harmonies. A yearning classic
https://fawm.org/songs/126487/ -
@prsongsmith Feb 2022
I don't think I've seen this wonderful song by @carleybaer highlighted here yet: "Bon Chance, Petit Avion" https://fawm.org/songs/126490/ [EDIT: I accidentally misspelled @carleybaer's handle! Fixed now!]

@seanbrennan Feb 2022
As this community's resident @chrisshepard stan, it is my duty to inform you all that the champ has returned: https://fawm.org/songs/127480/
"The American Way." Close your eyes and materialize in the soundscape of the early 90s - think Beck, You-Know-What Surfers, etc. - with a scathing commentary on modern social values. The lead riff gets tastier each time you hear it. -
@chrisshepard Feb 2022
@seanbrennan You are way too kind. I'm not telling you to stop, but I am humbled by your kind comments!
-
@seemanski Feb 2022
@bigmood has a track which is what the title suggests
https://fawm.org/songs/127019/ -
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Got to recommends @eas3637's song Ultimatum. The storytelling is top notch, and her guitar and vocals are as beautiful as ever. Don't miss this.
https://fawm.org/songs/127258/ -
@eas3637 Feb 2022
@kenmattsson thank you!! If you need a dose of classic bardic singing with one of the truest voices you'll ever hear, check out Beacon's songs. https://fawm.org/songs/125778/
-
@eas3637 Feb 2022
@woolford is one of my new discoveries, and this song is terrific: https://fawm.org/songs/127771/

@davidtaro Feb 2022
I’m not really the crying type, but this from @richaaaay and @andrea got me pretty darn close. It’s sublime: https://fawm.org/songs/127794/

@kenmattsson Feb 2022
I just heard the Jellyman, and it's epic. You need this funk in your life by @cts and @nancyrost.

@natalie - Opening Hymn is just hauntingly beautiful. A tremendous song that everyone should hear, still my favorite at the moment:
https://fawm.org/songs/125355/ -
@tcelliott Feb 2022
@leah0k and @aeye have my favorite song of Fawm so far.

@johnstaples Feb 2022
I'd like to recommend you take a listen to @grayland's awesome new song One More Mile! I've known Gary for most of my life and he is one of the finest musicians and writers I ever met! He is quite a fine friend too!!!

@judypie and @iwilleatyou knocking it out of the park with this pop rock stomp. -

Say hello to @songsfromcarly. First FAWM and this is utterly beautiful.
https://fawm.org/songs/128292/ -
@celineellis Feb 2022
Id like to recommend FAWMling Jon @theicylakes and this gorgeous song from today
https://fawm.org/songs/128201/ -
@celineellis Feb 2022
And if i may be so bold as to recommend again @tukayandryan have created a monster (pun intended) with this awesome track
https://fawm.org/songs/127381/ -
@notenkraker Feb 2022
Really want to highlight @dvdshnsmth here, what a find! Amazing voice poetic lyrics. So far all of his 4 tracks have been gorgeous but so far this is my favourite:
https://fawm.org/songs/126846/ -
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
https://fawm.org/songs/128490/
Maskless by @matthewhalley is a Broadway showstopper of a piano ballad. -
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
Everyone should hear this in my opinion. https://fawm.org/songs/127772/
-
@robynmackenzie Feb 2022
@faceofeinstein's done it again: https://fawm.org/songs/128527/
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
It helps to look at the Zongs. Just found this tremendous storytelling by @bfwaite on Oh Brother, Will You Help Me?
https://fawm.org/songs/128548/ -
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
@charliecheney done it this time. When he says a song is NSFW, he means it. https://fawm.org/songs/128565/
-
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
This one is pretty freaking great https://fawm.org/songs/128577/
-
@halfwayhome Feb 2022
He's likely to put a restraining order on me because I do keep banging on about, but the first song from @blueone this year is a sumptuous beauty: https://fawm.org/songs/125660/
Apologies if, like me, it takes over your internal playlist. -
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
I am a big fan of @lhcisco and he brings his A Game to The Wrong Side of History. https://fawm.org/songs/127495/ This is rocking political LOUDFOLK!
-
@apauls Feb 2022
This is a gorgeous song from @lizchids called "Moon Threesome" -- The chord changes are tasty, the duet tradeoffs are impeccable, and the story will have you on the edge of your seat, falling in love! https://fawm.org/songs/125514/
-
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
Freight Train (78rpm)
by @spikedirection @yewnorker should be in the Lomax Collection at the Smithsonian
https://fawm.org/songs/128741/ -
@unpronounceable Feb 2022
Just came across a gem: @cheerd's "The Open". https://fawm.org/songs/125672/
-
@mhorning Feb 2022
Mikey Mason's new song about feeling derivative of oneself maybe hits a wee bit to close to home.
https://fawm.org/songs/128781/ -
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
My first recommendation of FAWM 2022:
@nahlej381 's 'Imitation Game'
https://fawm.org/songs/128105/
This is a serious earworm listen -
@richaaaay Feb 2022
@serene123 is a wonderfully talented songwriter and vocalist. She just posted a song that is quite special. If you want to hear a lovely heartfelt song, give this a listen: https://fawm.org/songs/128911/
-
@tamsnumber4 Feb 2022
What an emotional write and beautiful melody with very few listens, hope he can gain some more FAWM friends to lend an ear. @scotttestmusic
https://fawm.org/songs/126711/ -
@dugganensis Feb 2022
https://fawm.org/songs/128714/
@imaginary1 has this late'60s/early'90s psych pop gem that I must've listened to 4 times in a row. I intend to deconstruct the chords and keys to find out its secrets. -
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Someone You Can Rely On by @stephentanner has the most epic chorus I've heard on FAWM 2022. Listen, you won't regret it.
https://fawm.org/songs/128922/ -
@carleybaer Feb 2022
@enzo just had me grinning from ear to ear with "Busticated Toast." Funky, tasty, hilarious, relatable, etc. https://fawm.org/songs/129030/
-
@scottlake Feb 2022
In Peace by @hbusse. https://fawm.org/songs/128624/
Rest easy tonight fellow FAWMers -
@kiffa Feb 2022
Here's one I feel deserves a little more attention: "Step Outside", by @fiftydegrees.
https://fawm.org/songs/127743/ -
@tukayandryan Feb 2022
Love this so much. Found when listening on random. And so happy I did, Ambient loveliness.
https://fawm.org/songs/127945/ -
@fuzzy Feb 2022
I think @silvermachine has produced my favourite track of this year's FAWM so far.
An inspired bit of experimental weirdness with a manic bass line and guitar unlike anything you've heard before.
https://fawm.org/songs/129143/ -
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
Check out Not Todayby @sheamiejay . It is a bit of stunt songwriting that yielded an amazing song. https://fawm.org/songs/128370/
-
@johnstaples Feb 2022
Do yourself a favor and check out The Meltdown by @grayland! Gary is writing some top-drawer songs!

-
@evinwolverton Feb 2022
Favorite lyric so far, from @jeustan:
https://fawm.org/songs/128004/ -
@iwilleatyou Feb 2022
If this has been recommended already, GOOD. It needs to recommended again. @annieball
https://fawm.org/songs/126660/ -
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
@evinwolverton maybe we should also have a Lyric Only recommendation topic thread (not that I'm biased or anything lol)
I don't mean not have lyrics in this thread, I was more thinking that they deserved their own thread, as they defo need more promotion. They get left by the wayside by many *sniff sniff* sad face ;) -
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
All the Things by @majormajormajormajor https://fawm.org/songs/129874/
-
@stephenwordsmith Feb 2022
@ajna1960 I think there was one, and only one, year in which we had such a thread. It did a lot of good.
I just don't want to start these myself because the conflict of interest would be a bit obvious :) -
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
@stephenwordsmith Your wish is my command: https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12639/

@nateger Feb 2022
@spikedirection https://fawm.org/songs/130189/
This song slays. I love the raw guitar and the slide solo is epic. A fun, energetic rocker with a great story -
@owl Feb 2022
@ampersandman’s “Wait” is epic https://fawm.org/songs/130182/

Loved this track by @sunnymae and @davidtaro
https://fawm.org/songs/129602/ -
@hbusse Feb 2022
Not sure if this track has already been recommended on here since it was posted several days ago… but I just heard it and was absolutely digging it. From @davidtaro : https://fawm.org/songs/127130/
-
@rayboneor Feb 2022
Yeah, I, too came to recommend All the Things by @majormajormajormajor Try not to feel happy while listening. Try
-
@majormajormajormajor Feb 2022
Thanks for all the love, y'all
(I say y'all all the time, right?)
Just some joyful silliness inspired by one of @dasbinky's quips.
And speaking of whom, I'd like to send you over for another, which comes with some seriously complete liner notes.
https://fawm.org/songs/129214/
That's right-
Drop it, UNH! Stick it in a bowl of soup -

You guys! @stephentanner is amazing. If you haven't listened to "She'll Know Me" yet, go right now. You will love it and then be mad that you didn't write it yourself. https://fawm.org/songs/126129/

This is such a great song from [@colgoo] made me smile! I love the gorgeous vocals, diverse styles, musical sensibility, compassion, honesty, and emotional intelligence she brings to all her work - so check out all of her songs if you have a chance - this is her most recent and is one that really made me smile and sigh as I could recognize myself in some of her lyrics:

Holy .... crap! Stop, go listen to this one right now from @jonmeta:

Almost *zero* production, but the performance landed me in a place and time where I've never been so firmly I could smell the flowers, and taste the coffee. -
@colgoo Feb 2022

@kajati Feb 2022

Almost too many to list. Just heard this little gem though by @songmistress https://fawm.org/songs/131837/

@wrenarcher Feb 2022
Showing some love to this ukulele playing FAWMling.
Aniya ( @aniya ) has such a lovely voice and came up with a very clever song about the "what-could-have-been" love between lipstick and a facemask.
Enjoy.
https://fawm.org/songs/131493/ -
@richaaaay Feb 2022
@schuylerf is another FAWMling worthy of a quick listen. He's only posted two songs but they are both gems. My recommendation is "I Told You So"

@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Sorry, listening to too many songs, so I have a lot to recommend. So Hard To Say Goodbye by @trebled has great harmonies and his voice is like butter. Check it out.

Here is one completed/made for last night's skirmish by @blindsheepdog It is simply stunning, in so many ways.

'Clear As Crystal' from @whispermouse https://fawm.org/songs/132484/

Run, don't walk, to give "Make Bad Art" by @keithcuts a listen: https://fawm.org/songs/129311/
-
@neuflex Feb 2022
@tabitha is one of my favourite discoveries so far. Just wonderful. Would buy an album of this, no doubt.
https://fawm.org/songs/128122/ -
@keithcuts Feb 2022
@hamiltonpoolhall thanks for the nod on “make bad art” !
I appreciate that! We all can relate lol (and then sometimes we make something not terrible lmao) -

@kenmattsson Feb 2022
@berni1954 has a great song with The Path https://fawm.org/songs/132817/. Great positive lyrics while calling out the charlatans.
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Sorry, listening to too many and finding some good finds, that are so different than I've heard (and I've listened to a lot this FAWM!).
@adambeiter's Pool Song is amazing. His lyrics and delivery need to be heard by more people. https://fawm.org/songs/131952/ -
@candle Feb 2022
I've been a huge fan of the one & only @captainvulpine since my first FAWM. Every year he amazes me with his musical genius & this year is no exception. If you haven't heard his past work, it's well worth the listen (on his Bandcamp Page: https://captainvulpine.bandcamp.com/ ). But you REALLY need to hear his latest song: Melancholeradionysis (https://fawm.org/songs/132329/). It completely blew me away. It is well worth the listen. Speaking of, I'm going back & listening to it again.
See You In The Shadows… -
@berni1954 Feb 2022
One of my favourite discoveries this year is Sonya Heller @sunnymae
She is so versatile in her choice of styles that it's difficult to pin down just one song. I have liked everything she has done so far and I am eagerly awaiting the collaboration between us in which she has put music to some lyrics of mine. -
@guatecoop Feb 2022
Alright then...This song is great. Excellent blend of what @aeye and @leah0k each do so well all in one song. Well done to the both of you!

Perhaps it’s already been recommended, but this collab by @jeustan @cleanshoes @srcoops is so freaking charming and sweet.
https://fawm.org/songs/131922/ -
@petemurphy Feb 2022
So my all time music hero, James Hall, is doing FAWM this year.
This is the person who I've looked up to and been inspired by both musically and personally since I was 21 (waaayyy back in 1996), the person who released my all time favourite album, the person who took me to breakfast when I flew over to Atlanta to see him perform, and then invited me to his house for dinner the day after he'd played two nights of two hour shows in a row and was probably completely exhausted, the person who sent me one of his guitars back in 2004 which is the nicest gift I've ever received.
Go show James some love...
https://fawm.org/songs/131970/ -
@aflinner Feb 2022
@bethdesombre @ductapeguy Wow, thank you both for recommending my songs to this thread! :-D

@chrisshepard Feb 2022

"Life Looks Like" https://fawm.org/songs/133231/ -

https://fawm.org/songs/128004/ -
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Umm, you're not likely to hear a song quite like this anywhere else on FAWM. Drink in the vocals and the harmonies and the guitars and the perfection of everything.
https://fawm.org/songs/135802/ -
@emkaydeebee Feb 2022
This is amazing… from the 7/8 groove, to the metal whispering, to the most brilliant pronunciation… this is well worth a listen or ten!

4 days ago, @reliabletoaster dropped a whole 18 song concept album called MARK at once. Many of them are still zongs. It is a fantastic concept: Write a point of view song for one character (or group of characters) from each chapter of the Gospel of Mark. Some great acoustic storytelling here. Plenty left to de-zong, though I'm working my way through.

@oswlek Mar 2022
"Little Dreamer" by @musicsongwriter, @musicbymichelle and @kristi deserves some extra attention.
https://fawm.org/songs/136831/ -
@majormajormajormajor Mar 2022
@ampersandman posted this in the rush to the end and it's just fantastic. He's made some great noisy pieces this year and this is that and then some! Great dynamics and you must listen through- the ending solo through the finish is just crushingly, chaotically perfect.
https://fawm.org/songs/138417/ -

@ryako created 15 episodes of a story that will blow your mind. She created an individual movie backing track for each one. You listen while you read one of the most well written stories you have ever read. If you want to see true talent and someone who gave so much of themselves this FAWM....don't miss this effort.
