  Erin, I love your look, melodies, lyrics, instrumentation, and voice. And to think I knew you way back when! Great work!

•  natrin 2 months ago

  You're awesome!

•  michaelepic 2 months ago

  You're awesome!

•  emkeev 2 months ago

  Some of the best songs tell more than one story...
  
  thanks for the comments... I need to get back on commenting myself!

•  nickdickies 2 months ago

  This reminds me - we should have more pianists on FAWM! Great playing, great voice!

• alyssa2 2 months ago

  WE DID IT!!

•  natrin 2 months ago

  yay winner

•  errol 2 months ago

  No no no... you are supposed to RECORD VIDEO FOR ERROL.
  
  That's what you do the first thing FAWM is done.

•  natrin 2 months ago

  TIED YOU
  
  ^.^

•  natrin 2 months ago

  heehee I'm glad that someone realized that I pluralized my heart

•  songsville 2 months ago

  Oh thanks a bundle for your lovely comment -- I'm trying out these random-sounding lyrics and yes they are harder than they look! You have hit the nail on the head and given me a boost that I can get somewhere with them -- you know, have an actual underlying meaning and not sound too forced, as you say ... Only 4 more to go for you -- a busy weekend should sort it!

• rbarreda 2 months ago

  Hey Erin... thanks for stopping by and listening to my train song. I appreciate the kind words.

•  avidfanman 2 months ago

  Hi Erin - thanks for your kind words about my strange song!

• kelvindobson 2 months ago

  Wow, thanks for your comment. I'm so glad to have been able, in turn, to find your music. Your voice is beautiful and I've so enjoyed listening to your songs. I was particularly captivated by the Train Song. Keep up the great work!!!

•  natrin 3 months ago

  my profile is set to badgers what? I'll buy a few copies of your album too!

• shanepalko 3 months ago

  Make an album. I will buy it, twice, maybe even three times!

• omgitsclaire91 3 months ago

  eriiiiiiin mangiiiiiiin i was too scared to see the comments that people posted because i always assume that people will pull a sara selgem and tell me i am terrible haha. but thank you for all of the nice things you've said. i miss you so much and i'm so impressed with how great your songwriting is (i already knew that you had a beautiful voice obviously.) hopefully i will be seeing you next time i'm down in delaware, we will have to sing together #trumpetduet

• alyssa2 3 months ago

  I just had my mom listen to "A Toast to Love" and she couldn't figure out who was singing what part. I think that's a good thing. Hehe. She also said she thinks it's adorable!

•  errol 3 months ago

  Ha haaa! I left you and @natrin a video! Although, one of you saw already.

• monkeyman 3 months ago

  Thank you so much for the comment! I'd like to hear it with music, too - hopefully I'll convince someone to write some eventually, I'm complete rubbish at that part.

• lazyafro 3 months ago

  Thanks! I'm all for making people dance... in fact, I'll have a few tracks later in FAWM that are sure to get some people movin

• matthewhalley 3 months ago

  hey erin, @emkeev and I are getting together again on Monday for some musical collaboration...want to join us for some 3-part harmonies?

•  madthesinger 3 months ago

  Thank you so much for your comment on my song Finally. You are on my watchlist and I can't wait to hear more of your songs. (:

•  nicksypniewski 3 months ago

  Erin, thanks muchly for the compliments on Faded Glory. It really is one of the favorite things I've done for FAWM. Very much appreciated.

•  simonwaldram 3 months ago

  My pleasure. It's a really excellent song

•  dreamscuba 3 months ago

  Thank you very much for your comments on "Don't want to say it's true". Very much appreciated.

•  tiedyehero 3 months ago

  yeah i'm no good at it but what's FAWM for

•  errol 3 months ago

  You know what I should have done. If I knew I was going to have this video response tag fun, I would have done the videos on the Debs and Errol account... which would be great for publicity and all (I think about marketing a lot now I'm in a band).
  
  But I didn't want to sully up our account with videos of me talking, which is why I used that account.
  
  Ah well... learning something new ...

• followawackymoose 3 months ago

  Honey Badgers - greatest name ever. why didn't I think of that? Kicking myself

•  errol 3 months ago

  Allloooo you... yet another vid!

•  artslut 3 months ago

  Thanks again for your comment. Hey, how do you get your voice so nicely recorded? It sounds bright and close and full. Do you sing close to the mic or further away, eq it or use compression? It is a great sound I am still trying to find a way to not sound like I'm singing through a blanket.

•  tiedyehero 3 months ago

  okay i've got some ideas bouncing around. I don't know if we'd be able to pull this off online but I think it'd be neat to try, you play violin, I play flute, I think there's something there. Maybe. I may try to compose something fairly simple.

• omgitsclaire91 3 months ago

  i found yewwww

•  tiedyehero 3 months ago

  thanks for you comment. I really like your stuff. This year I've been writing a lot of duets... would you be up to collab? If you are that would be okay! If not, that's okay too.

•  shay 3 months ago

  Thanks Erin - I had a fun time writing 'Twenty Twelve' (Blue skies & Sunshine Spells).
  I hope someone hears something for it too! Cause you don't want me singing LOL. *Cheers*

  Thanks for your lovely, kind and thoughtful comments. I feel the same with you about music skills I'm in the same boat exactly. I think your doing great though and look forward to hearing more.

•  errol 3 months ago

  Oh, ya, did I say your video response was awesome? It was.

•  errol 3 months ago

  Allloooo! I bragged about you on the forum! And totally visit us in Canada!

• rbarreda 3 months ago

  Hi Erin, welcome to FAWM. Found you and natrin from emkeev's page after hearing her on the FAWMcast. Weird the little trail that will lead to finding some FAWMers. Anyway, welcome. I've been listening to your music on The Honey Badger bandcamp page. good stuff looking forward to hearing what you and Michael put out this Feb.
