Skirmish prompt: Valentine (https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12682/ )
Look, I know that everyone knew this was coming from me. I don't care. I am not ashamed of my obsessions! (OK, I'm a little ashamed.)
In all seriousness, I'm happy with this came out, especially the music. The lyrics / vocals were quite rushed - I admit I didn't really try for anything new on this one. :) But I think I'll probably be repurposing this music track for a more thought-out song at some point.
Live baritone ukulele, keyboard bass, programmed drums.
Everyday
I want to be with you
Every night
You’re in my dreams too
When I wake up
I am so glad you’re there
How I love you
My sweet facial hair
This is my valentine
To my beard (To my beard)
You tickle my nose
With your sweet caress
You keep my face warm
Make me look my best
You’re always true
With me to my grave
You’ll never leave
‘Cause I’ll never shave
This is my valentine
To my beard (and my ‘stache)
You’re my everything I could
Ever want
You’re my every wish come true
You’re my every dream made in
Keratin
Without you what would I do?
What would I do?

This is an ear- worm! Funny!!
@fuzzy Feb 2022
Yeah, I agree, great music for sure.
I am indeed loving this music.
And of course the lyrics are gold.
A day with a new song by you is always a good day.
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
A wonderfully playful take on the prompt. I've not sung to my beard, only through it. Fun skirmish.
@robynmackenzie Feb 2022
I really like the varying strumming patterns throughout the song. Really fun and catchy!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Ha ha! Why did I not suspect this? It cracks me up! I suspect there are not many other Valentine love songs that are quite like this!
@musicsongwriter Feb 2022
Beard Valentine Song! So cool, fun packed, catchy and happy. Brilliant take on the prompt.
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
This has such a cool feel, right from the off. And the perfect topic for a valentine song! Beards rule! Excellent job!
@whispermouse Feb 2022
Nice, it's not easy to get three instruments plus vocals done in an hour. The love between a man and his beard is a think of pure beauty.
@zeekle1998 Feb 2022
Well I just spit my tea out. Got to the "facial hair" line and you got me... you really show some true love - to your beard. Absolutely loved it.
@berni1954 Feb 2022
I just had to LOL when the "facial hair" line came in! Glad I didn't read ahead! Ha, Ha, Ha! Fun song!
@blindsheepdog Feb 2022
“you’re my every dream made in keratin”…….. genius
@blindsheepdog Feb 2022
this may be my favourite thing in FAWM so far…
@arthurrossi Feb 2022
This is such a fun to listen to! and I guess it is the only Valentine song so far dedicated to a beard... The melody is awesome and I like the sound of that baritone ukulele...
@pattie Feb 2022
OMG I can't wipe the smile off my face! My son has a beard - a nice one - so I get it.... I love this song - Love the musical portion of this - very upbeat and I love it. John says pure gold - totally agree!!!
@johnstaples Feb 2022
Ha! This is GOLD! PURE GOLD! As a fellow beardo I can so appreciate the sentiment! I intentionally did not read ahead because I knew you'd have a surprise in store for me! Really loving that baritone ukulele! And your classic vocals...well it wouldn't be FAWM for me without your fun style!
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
OMG Odilon !
Clever lyric word play, and the funniest thing of all... is that's its all so very true !
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Of course what else! it had to be!
@andygriff Feb 2022
This is an excellent work for an hour and lots of fun! :)
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Haha! My husband could sing this! Love it!
@majormajormajormajor Feb 2022
Haha, fantastic! Now that I've found a happy medium, I've got to say I feel similarly
Eta: my every dream made in keratin is great, very clever
