Feb 2022 folk acoustic fawmd20 goodnews
Snuck one in right before midnight :)
used @ianuarius 's #fawm20 guide, as well as #goodnews for a prompt:
https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/mysterious-object-unlike-anything-astronomers-have-seen-before/
Is it God?
Does it have a name?
Or is it a light in the sky all the same.
If it doesn’t matter, then why do I care?
Vocabulary is beautiful, but it’s a human affair.
I used to think that I knew everything,
but I like knowing nothing at all.
I could have talked on for hours
but i'd rather listen to the call
Of the people doing good, wherever they fall.
Is this on?
Do I have the stage?
Or am I looking through the glass to outer space?
If there’s no matter, then why should I care?
About the floating debris that may or may not be there.
I used to think that I knew everything,
but I like knowing nothing at all.
I could have talked on for hours
but i'd rather listen to the call
Of the people doing good, wherever they fall.
This is the part where I figure it out
But I don’t really mind the mystery.

This feels like staring at the sky in the middle of the night or at the ocean at sunrise. Than transitions to a feeling of tumbling through outer space and then shouting from mountain tops, then back to the starry blanket. Love the way you sing it.

This is really nice. The music and words go so nicely with your vocals. So fragile at the start, which is perfect. Really enjoyed that.

Beautiful. Had me from the beginning to the end.

Beautiful! What a great FAWM start!
The melody really drew me in.
I love the first two lines of the chorus.
Perfect.

"I don't really mind the mystery" cool.
