nikki122496 3 weeks ago

Actually right now I'm kind of busy, I just got a puppy, so no new songs coming up. How bout you?
Roel van Veldt 3 weeks ago

Wow Brianna, so you're already a FAWM-winner too! No reason to stop, don't you agree? On the contrary, I love the taste of FAWM-collaborations.

I'm really glad you like my music, & thanks for the nice comments!

Now that you know my style (and that I love yours), I give you "the right" to add me as a co-writer for any lyrics you feel would suit me. And I'll happily make a song out of any of them. Do you take up the challenge? I'm prepared for mine!

Hi Brianna, thanks for the kind words about my mime song. I like the collabs here and look forward to reading the rest of the lyrics (and hearing the demos when they are made). You have a lovely honest style of writing that lends itself to many styles of music. Keep up the good work!

Stephen Colbert is an American TV personality. He has a fake news commentary show. He's hilarious.
Linzi 3 weeks ago

Hey there Thanks for checking...but no (lol), 'Uh Oh' won't be up for a little while, I'm still farting around with the lyrics, heehehe! I'm trying to dumb them down which may sound odd, but the 1st verse is way too complex for the 2nd and they don't match. Music is fine though - sounds like all the rest!

How on earth have you written 18 songs You're on fire!
I must drink more coffee or something...

I posted a rough demo of my song "Hollow Man," which you were nice enough to leave a comment about. If you're still interested, you can find it here: http://fawm.org/songs/2665/. Thanks and take care!
Billy Sea 4 weeks ago

Very cool. I'll start working on it then. If you want to hear a demo before it is posted, send me an email a my gmail account (seabilly) and I'll forward first
Billy Sea 4 weeks ago

Hey, the electronic loops are hit and miss with me (not near as easy as guitar which I just strum 3 chords and done, lol) but if you don't mind it maybe taking awhile, I'd love to give it a try (unless of course you wanted something in guitar) Anyway, I'll assume electronic loops for now unless you say different

It is really hard to say, I would cut it down to the important bits but it is difficult when you feel everything is important. I tend to keep my songs to a maximum of five verses with choruses (which is about 3 min song).
Halfpenny Orchestra 1 month ago

Brianna, thanks for signing up for Halfpenny Orchestra’s Loteria Challenge. You have been dealt: El Mano (The Hand, No. 21). Something Tae Kwon Do-related, perhaps? In the description of your song, please include the subject of the card and its number. Also, please include loteria as a tag. Have fun!

Hi Brianna. Thanks so much for your comment on Bathroom Mirror Geometry.
Reading your bio, I see you are a very accomplished and determined young woman. Not many of your age could say they've had a go at writing a novel in a month while training for a black belt and doing everything else one does on a daily basis. Not only but also - you joined 4 days ago and you're nearly done here!!! Aah you put me to shame

Brianna, thank you so much for listening to my songs. Keep up with the brilliant progress, you're almost there! I suspect you're going to exceed that 14 mark "Whoop"

You are so fantastic for noticing the Leaf on the Wind lyric. My brain thought of it first just for the song, but after I was re-reading it I saw that line and cracked the frak up. Reminded me of Wash too! Think my brain was subconsciously telling me to keep my humour. :B Thanks for the comment!
accio inspiration 1 month ago

same here. I made it to 50K (barely, I literally wrote all day on Nov.30th and finished with about 15 minutes to spare...) but my novel's still not finished. I've had to take a really long break from it because I'm really sick of all the characters and my awful plot!! haha but I definitely hope to finish sometime this spring
negasi 1 month ago

Thank you for the comment .
accio inspiration 1 month ago

Hogwarts related? Maybe. I'm trying to do an even amount of both, because it's really easy for me to write Harry Potter-related stuff (I mean, there are already people and events to write about... it's way easier!) and of course it's a lot of fun, too but I definitely plan on writing some non-Harry Potter songs, haha

and is it true you came from nanowrimo, also??

thanks so much for the comment!! I'm glad you liked my song I really love your lyrics too, by the way
