A #twinsies collaboration among three awesome FAWMers who share the Korg avatar:
@outinpublicdrummer (kick-ass drum track, ripping bass guitar)
@conorg (awesome lead and rhythm synths, masterful mixing)
@prsongsmith (lyrics, vocals, acoustic and electric guitars)
This was my first bona fide intercontinental collaboration, and it was a blast from start to finish! Thanks to Rin and Conor for their musical wizardry and for making it a great experience! Korgies forever!
Analogue Man
[SONG NUMBER 13 for FAWM 2022]
I’m an analogue man
In a digital world
Searching in vain
For an analogue girl
INTERLUDE:
I just know that she’s out there
Waiting for me
She’ll have spring in her step
She’ll have strings in her heart
Resistors and tubes
And an analog spark
CHORUS
I’m an analog man
With a flesh and blood heart
Searching for someone
Who can take me apart
No simulation
I want the real thing
I like needles and knobs
I like levers and bells
I’m an analogue man
In a sheet metal shell
CHORUS
I’m an analogue man
With a flesh and blood heart
Is there anyone out there
Who can take me apart
You’re all speaking in code
I just want to sing
No simulation
I want the real thing

Feels like an updating of Cynical Girl. I like the sensitive robot feel of the singing and music. Great arrangement.
@roddy Mar 2022
Great vocal delivery and amazing synth sounds along with a very emotional track. So many cool sounds here and excellent playing.

Who knew the randomizer would bring you together, and a strong result comes out of it!
The images this conjures...for sime reason I keep thinking of the Tin Man, but for all its lighthearted wordplay, there's something very dark about the idea of looking for someone to take you apart. I'd very much like to know the next chapter in this story!

This is so great! I love the crooning vocals over the frantic space sounds. It's quirky and fun but also really sweet and relatable. Excellent triangulation of talents!
@audrey Mar 2022
Intriguing song. I like the robotic feel of this. It's a good melody too. What a great collaboration!
@elesimo Feb 2022
Oh, so cool — a triple collaboration! And such a great song! Well done, folks!
@nadine Feb 2022
Wow, you even teamed up with 3 people! Congrats. This looks like a fun "random" collab and I am so happy that it worked. Fun lyrics
