My last song of the season! I’m so grateful to have been a part of this unique creative community for my second year. This song sums up my feelings about the whirlwind of ideas and emotions that the last 28 days have brought.
I’m now going to show my appreciation by going and listening to as many new songs as I can! See you next year.
Peace and harmonies,
~ Natalie
Thank you, friends, I’ve learned a lot
But now it’s time to go
I wish you health and happiness
May your cups overflow
I've laughed and cried and stayed up late
I've doubted and rejoiced
I've tried a lot of things
And gotten tired of my own voice
Your songs have been an inspiration
So much still to hear
I couldn’t take them all in
If I listened for a year
We all learn from experience
But it's rarely this much fun
And although I’m gonna miss it
I’m kinda glad it’s done
Thank you, friends, I’ve learned a lot
But now it’s time to go
I wish you health and happiness
May your cups overflow

Natalie, This is lovely, and what a fitting end to FAWM. I especially liked this verse:
We all learn from experience
But it's rarely this much fun
And although I’m gonna miss it
I’m kinda glad it’s done
Just perfect!

Did i even know you did this one? and its so so beautiful to hear you singing and playing your uke. and its like i'm back on koh phayam with you, even though its more likely ranong with the traffic noise. To be able to create such purity out of such a simple flowing melody is really heartfelt and beautiful. even though you know how much i adore your vocal, and love all your amamazing harmonies. To hear your solo vocal soaring like this over the uke is a sunday morning treat . MASSIVE congrats you incredible musician

Lovely song.
Bet that was planned when in a background there was some lorry of something driving :)

Congratulations on getting your trophy! You have summed up the real 'reasons why' we all do FAWM - the experience, the camaraderie, and learning by listening to others' music.

Perfect final song for FAWM, summing up all our feelings so beautifully (and succinctly!) Looking forward to hearing ALL your songs now that the big push is over (happy sigh)!.

lovely goodbye song, and so much what I think we're all feeling, happy, tired, wore out, exhilarated, but also glad all this inspiration is only for a limited time. Thanks, Natalie, for putting that all in a song for us. Catch you next year, I hope.

"We all learn from experience

This is FAWM in a nutshell. It's something truly wonderful and lovely and creative that you're kind of happy to leave behind, it's just so intense :D
A beautiful song on a shared sentiment. Thank you for this!
