Written and recorded in just over an hour! This started with @artie playing around on the guitar and grew from there.
Artie: Guitar things, mixing things, lyric things
Debs: Lyric things, melody things, singing things
THEME/PROMPT: "PRETTY"

You are so pretty
Such a pretty little thing
My head is captivated
My heart is on a string
You’re just so lovely
You’re the apple of my eye
And when the day is cloudy
Oh, you bring all the shine
Let’s move out of the city
Into a pretty little house
On a tree-lined street
I’m getting kind of giddy
Thinking ‘bout what we could do
A life that’s so damn pretty
Together me and you
Let’s move out of the city
Into a pretty little house
With a big backyard
I’ve got a little theory
That we could go all in
My money’s on the table
I cashed my voucher in
Let’s move out of the city
Into a pretty little house
With a front porch swing

Returning to the roots of morph2. Wow, this is kind of the diametric opposite of my gloomy, bombastic blues song. But they're both about moving in houses! So that stuck. This is so... pretty. Your voice just never fails to make me happy.
@nadine Feb 2022
Time to listen to the song where my morph chain started. Uh its a bluesy love song. What a cool jam, I love the vocal phrasing and the guitar picking. My version is not thaaaaat far away but more sarcasm than happy lol.
@charliecheney Feb 2022
I cashed my voucher in... yes yes yes.
Love hearing your voice!
@loudlemons Feb 2022
Great vibe with the guitar and great lyrics writing. I can really picture that pretty little house
@cowboydick Feb 2022
Direct and lovely. Great "casual" guitar, too.
@mikeymason Feb 2022
Such a wonderful old school vibe. So well done!
@psyt Feb 2022
I'm getting Postmodern Jukebox vibes from this. Gorgeous performance, and feeling so nostalgic. Lovely song.
@cicpisces Feb 2022
Very interesting musically with the sound you achieve. Lovely sweet vocal. Tell a nice story. Great collab. Great use of the prompt. Nice work.
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
Dang so gorgeous and so professionally done and can’t believe it was done in an hour! Can’t believe you two were able to coordinate to do something this realized so quick. Enjoyed it! Love the playing and the voice.
@thesoundof Feb 2022
Such a delightful song. I love the lightness in it. Although: "A life that’s so damn pretty" do I see a little bit something else there? I love hidden doubts and darkness too if this was it.
@scruffyblues Feb 2022
Really beautiful song, right up my street. Love the playing and the vocals, really compliment each other. This is a very pretty song.
@stuartbenbow Feb 2022
Great collab, I loved the effect of the 4 line/3 line lyrical flow. The guitar and vocal delivery was a great blend, too. Well done!
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
Such a lovely jazzy number. The two parts work so well together - a great combination. And so impressive to collaborate successfully in a skirmish. I can barely communicate with myself to get a song done in an hour (and never to standards as high as these).
@paulroe Feb 2022
This would brighten up a festival in any part of the world. Vague touches of Xavier Rudd - as in drawing from the same wellspring more than in a derivative way. The twangy guitar meshes well with the vocal style. Cool stuff.
@apolez3 Feb 2022
Great DUET, works very well together..
@sunfire Feb 2022
Sounds great! Nice collaboration.
@tcelliott Feb 2022
Ooh, some tasty rhymes. And your melody and vocal are sweet. That guitar work is nicely done. Great job on a collab in a skirmish. Good to hear you again, Debs!
@improvyssey Feb 2022
Yay, Debs and Artie! Nice upbeat little tune, and lyrics that mesh nicely with the guitar part. Just very pleasant to listen to after a day of stress.
@johnstaples Feb 2022
Well, this is a delightful little tune! Love that guitar that just moves this little gem right along! And the lyrics are a wonderful love story song! Debs' vocals are the delicious icing on this yummy cake! She sings it so damn pretty! Nice work you two!
@popmythology Feb 2022
So good. Great job, guys. Hearing this also makes me happy because no FAWM would be truly complete for me without something from @debs, since she is part of the reason why I got pulled into FAWM in the first place, years ago, as a "listener only." :)
@writeandwrong Feb 2022
Hey, glad to see ya here this year and hope you are well! I love this ditty! Jazzy, delightful visuals from start to end. The performance has a sweet flair, sophisticated. What an amazing skirmish!!!
@whispermouse Feb 2022
SUCH a classic sounding song. Wonderful skirmish!
@tunecat Feb 2022
This sounds like it’s been around for decades - in a good way. It’s retro and accomplished like it’s stood the test of time !! Beautifully executed too well done guys !!!!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
This is really classy, great delivery of a very nice lyric. This is straight out ready! Has that lovely relaxed feel. Top stuff.
@metalfoot Feb 2022
What a lovely song! So wonderful to hear Debs' pretty voice and the pretty guitar work of Artie together. :D
Yay for a pretty song full of hope and joy!
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
This has a cool 30s/40s vibe to it, with a contemporary twist at the same time. Very clever lyric, and very pretty too :)
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Love the wonderful feel to this and all of the happy pretty images of the dream. Sweet and lovely! I like the chucking guitar and the flow of the melody.
@sapient Feb 2022
Ooo, yeah. Smooth AND happy.
And I LIKE it!
And that's me of the screams and thundering guitars.
It's made me smile :D
@pearlmanhattan Feb 2022
Well done. perfect lyrics, perfect singing, perfect song! Thank you for such an enjoyable listen! Great skirmish!
@musicsongwriter Feb 2022
I missed hearing your gorgeous voice! What a beautiful song and collaboration. Sounds very organic and beautiful. It drew me right in and kept my attention from start to finish. Very beautiful singing and playing. You are very good team. Thank you for the pleasure of listening.
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
I love this jazzy sound- sounds so natural and easy, and it really shines in all the details- fantastic work all around! great writing, playing and singing!
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
So good to hear your voice again @debs. This is a beauty of a collab. Is it autobiographical? @artie Killer guitar work in a classic groove.
@jackketch Feb 2022
Love this - has a real classic feel to it, like something from the 1930s. Great lyrics, melody and vocals!
