4 -Way video collaboration song 1
@guatecoop - guitar/drums
@vomvorton - bass/mix
@wobbiewobbit - lyrics/vocal
@carleybaer - uke
she needs a little pick me up
a little something more
11 on a Monday morning
and it's a bore to do the chores
she makes a cup of coffee
in her favourite coffee cup
and reaches for a chocolate bar
peels the foil from the corner
inhales the rich aroma
breathes in deep
transported
a moment to herself
melting velvet on her tongue
reminds her of when she was young
she's earned herself a treat
savours the bittersweet
such a measured decadence
she's careful what she eats
just one square
her little piece of peace
escaping from the drudgery
one square
finding just a little release
a tiny slab of luxury
one square
such restrained extravagance
disciplined indulgence
one square
hits the spot yeah
and all in perfect balance
flavour floods her senses
she sinks into the chair
enjoying the attentions
of her own self care
pleasure on ration
taste the sweetness
of self compassion
she cannot beat this
one square
her little piece of peace
escaping from the drudgery
one square
finding just a little release
a tiny slab of luxury
one square
such restrained extravagance
disciplined indulgence
one square
hits the spot yeah
and all in perfect balance

The music has just enough melancholy to balance out what really are intense lyrics after reading them a couple of times. Musically it didn't swing to happy or too sad. Just right the touches everywhere. I love these kind of collabs. They just turn out awesome all over!

Just realized now that I never commented on this song. This is my third time watching/listening. I’ve enjoyed each listen. The chorus is catchy, lyrics entertaining, the instrumentation sounds great. The ending is hilarious too. Big smile over here…
@metalfoot Mar 2022
That is a really splendid lyric and the four musicians in this track are just *on*. This is a special treat of a song. One more square please...
@nancyrost Mar 2022
Great lyrics! Your parts all sound great, and it's great to see you in your recording habitats. Nice ending there, Carley ....
@owl Mar 2022
Love seeing all your faces, this is great! And bonus disco lights! I love the “one square” rhythm and hook in the chorus. Nice character portrait here. The uke and guitar combo has such a nice sweet tone and the bass line gives some extra melodic interest. Nice full production.
@unkept Mar 2022
Love that chorus pulse, really cool words.
"Melting velvet on her tongue
reminds her of when she was young"
Those lines and the delivery got me.
I am too nervous for video... I'm proud of you all! Excellent song.
@wolfkier Feb 2022
It's like visiting the leage of superheroes and watching magic happen. Well done all...
I can taste that cadbury from here! :)
@gwyn1234 Feb 2022
It is often said by those with inherent self restraint..."Everything in moderation" but I can't get enough of this treat. I stand four-square behind all the collaborators involved!
@paulh1237 Feb 2022
Such a great full band sound here - I love the rhythm in the chorus, especially on the "one square". The lyrics are fantastic and delivered wonderfully. I really want a square of chocolate now.
@jamkar Feb 2022
Great work! Sweet advice! Lovely sound!
@liz561 Feb 2022
A feast for the eyes and ears!
@ampersandman Feb 2022
Oh these videos are so great this year. Good job on the sound, really well done. Love the lyrics and @carleybaer taking a bite at the end is so adorable.
@nadine Feb 2022
You had a great jam session. You set the bar quite high for the 4 video collabs. The best I heard this year. You all perform well and the mix is just awesome. And what could be more awesome? Disco lights !
@tunecat Feb 2022
Great song great hook . One square ! Loving seeing everyone. Brilliant lyrics abd very tight ensemble and songwriting all round.
@airbagtester Feb 2022
"Disciplined indulgence" is the key phrase for me in this song. The chord progression, instrumentation, and singing are very well done! I like how this emphasizes like one little "mindfulness" type thing, maybe a private ritual someone has.
@nancycunning Feb 2022
This is just so great. I want to know how you do it.
The words and the music are wonderful. Did you all write it together?
Also cool that Release was one of the prompts for the SuperSkirmish.
Sweetness, You cannot beat this indeed.
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
This is great! Super performances all round - bonus points for the disco lights - and a cracking song. I love the line “such a measured decadence she's careful what she eats” - that is brilliant lyric writing! Top job!
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Love everything about this. As always, @wobbiewobbit shines in lyrics and singing, and all the instrumentals are awesome. Love to pauses in it. I love that this is such a slice of life but expanded. Amazing.
@dragondreams Feb 2022
This is just so many kinds of fabulous! Another FAWM supergroup is born!
@lowhum Feb 2022
Great studio rooms girls and guys, some disco balls, yeah! All very well positioned - girls up, boys down. Nice reggea going and serious tight delivery from @wobbiewobbit, The uke is also strong in this @carleybaer, and the boys give the tune its needed grounding.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Ha! I love this!!! It is great to see you all playing together and the music is wonderful! Out band has done a few shows via 4-Square videos during the pandemic which has been fun! This is such a relatable song… I keep my dark chocolate bar in the freezer and try to limit to that one square ….. Awesome job!!
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
ONE SQUARE FOUR THE WIN.
Wow.
I think @wobbiewobbit 's vocal performance is the best I've heard from 10 FAWMs. I like everything about this song.
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
I just keep singing ONE SQUARE!
@bachelorb Feb 2022
Ha!! now I can’t unsee that @elesimo
Really nice song. Perfect lyrics and singing. I know the feeling of the passion of chocolate.... I have the same passion for sour gummies.... :)
Really well done all
@zecoop Feb 2022
That is a great song! Everything fits together so well and it is always fun seeing people perform their parts. I immediately thought the same as @elesimo and wondered how I missed that door at Rob's house, haha - doh!! I am *not* on board with the one square concept for chocolate, though... I'll be very honest. I can't remember ever being able to have just one.
I loved hearing this song! Cheers to everyone!
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
Wonderful wonderful wonderful.
The whole one square concept is spot on.
I love it.
Who's playing the drums though? :)
+1 for @elesimo 's choc bar comment haha.
@elesimo Feb 2022
My first reaction was "is that a chocolate bar on the bottom left of the video or is it a weird door in Rob's studio?"
LOVE the song. Such a great mix with everyone playing together so well, and Wobbie's lyrics are poetry. My favorite line is "her little piece of peace", but I also love the rhymes (drudgery/luxury). And I love the theme, and how y'all were able to capture a small magic moment and bring it into song!
So good!
@gm7 Feb 2022
Wow...loving this. Great song and Wobbie Rocks!
My fav thing in FAWM are the vids which show the people working on the tracks...super fun!
