Feb 2022 poppy upbeat weather observational
Finally we can post! Have a great Fawm everyone, here's my first one this year.
It’s a stormy Monday morning
And the trees are bending down
And the air is full of portents and warnings
And there’s no one, not a soul around
In my mind, the lies compete with the truth
It’s my overactive imagination
I see the signs but I’m looking for proof
In my head, there’s an endless narration
The weather mirrors my darkest feelings
A sudden change and my mind is reeling
After the storm, the clean-up begins
The streets are shiny and there’s order again
And still, my mind looks for solace within
Push down the thoughts that it cannot contain
The weather mirrors my high expectations
Reminds me of my greatest fixations
I’m under the weather again
I’m under the weather again

I like all the sideways rain in this song
@ohljazz Feb 2022
Some lovely lyrics here!
@davidsnyder Feb 2022
Hey this is really cool. I will have to check out more of your tunes here! Very indie. I like your sound! :)
@daveyboy103 Feb 2022
Wowee you are certainly productive Gordon.
Nice job on this
@pvk2020 Feb 2022
Love the lyrics. Good reflections. Good song composition: verse and chorus. Living the PN always under the weather lol. Gives me the fuel for my own lyrics. thanks
@erucaesounds Feb 2022
This is cool, your voice has a great sound, really lends itself to the minimalist approach with the music. Harmonies as well! Nice work!
@jessi14 Feb 2022
You created lovely melodies here, the song carries a touching sombre sentiment!
@rxzzo Feb 2022
i love the timbre of your voice!
@tafkavince Feb 2022
I like the laid back groove. It sets a good mood. Great harmonies.
@cblack Feb 2022
This hits me hard. It's got a goth rock vibe mixed with some Beatles maybe? Really interesting sound. The voice is great, the constant strumming creates such a mood, and the drums serve the whole.
This was really good! More like this please!
@beatsbycamel Feb 2022
love the warm tone of the guitar, also great lyrics!
@kanttila Feb 2022
Nice start! I really like the tune here, nice melody and singing. Some fantastic lyrics here.
@dukongp100 Feb 2022
Great drum track underneath that nice guitar tone. I like The continuation of the chord into the 'the weather...' Section.
@mahtowin Feb 2022
wow! " In my head, there’s an endless narration " - I think I know, what you mean. The Harmonys you sing are pretty cool.
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
Favorite line: "The weather mirrors my darkest feelings." Relatable. Like, I picture the grey, gusty days that always make me feel that way.
@sapient Feb 2022
Should I be playing "guess the guitar"?
Is it the Vintage Les Paul?
Whatever it is. It's got a lovely big sound :D
Dark lyrics. Loivelyt harmonies. Recognisable events in our street. All the boxes very nicely checked!

Great starter this is. Have fun creating the other 100plus songs :D
Wishing you a wonderful FAWM.
@yam655 Feb 2022
