Bio

My second FAWM after completing FAWM and 5090 last year.

As you can see, feel free to use my lyrics, instruments I sadly lack!!

Yay did 2XFAWM for Burr (finished with 16 minutes to go!! - ok it actually wasn't 16 minutes but I thought that it was due to time zone differences!!).

4 of 4 official challenges done!!

    Thanks for your kind words, and identifying the song for Ben... This year was tough. Life got in the way the year- sickness, and events at the school where I teach, gigs, promotion for a CD I just put out... Next year, I'll rock it.

    It looks like you did well! I need to catch up and LISTEN the way I did last year. Even that's been a stretch!

    Congrats on finishing yet another FAWM! Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to this past month!

    I ended up getting that version of "Mother please" recorded, I really like how it came out, feel free to let me know what you think. Your lyrics were really natural to sing.
  •  Billy Sea 2 weeks ago
    Thanks so much smile BTW, you have an email smile
  •  Julie 2 weeks ago
    Yeah... it's me!!! I realised today when it happened with nearly all the songs (but not on hubbie's computer). I'm having a heap of trouble with streaming and wireless connections with my supposedly new computer!!! It's already been sent back about the wireless connection. Not happy Jan!
  • groundhog591 2 weeks ago
    of course! we can collaborate in 5090. smile can't wait! and congratulations! you made it! big_smile
  •  Julie 2 weeks ago
    CONGRATS lapetitekiwi big_smile

    I finally got a demo of "Gave to You" up... it only took two weeks!!! Sorry about the delay! (Took me ages to sort out the file hosting situation Plus I have just resigned for the first time ever and it's all been a bit difficult.) I hope you like it at least a little bit.
  • stolie 3 weeks ago
    thanks for the lyrics! it was fun!
  •  kristian 3 weeks ago
    hope you like My Mornings version! Thanks for letting me use your lyrics!
  •  Billy Sea 3 weeks ago
    Thanks for your comment on my latest effort. It took me a week to get that one done (which is around 6.8 days more than my normal songs smile

    Still need to try something for verses 4-6 (which we went over in yesterday's service. Hope to have that finished in the next couple days smile
  • adventuresofmimi 3 weeks ago
    but again, I do understand that it hurts. Please don't take what I say as criticism, I'm honestly trying to resolve things. I can't be there for him at the moment (and he's super sick right now!! so not cool), and I know he needs friends because everyone seems to have left, and noone seems to have really listened to his side of it. I guess I'm just really hoping that you can find it in you to try to at least see his side, and that you and Stephen can both try to be there for him just a little bit. I know he did things wrong, we both have made so many mistakes, but there's noone on the planet who hasn't made mistakes, and we're both trying to do the best we can in the situation we're in. Can you find it in yourself to help? To let Stephen at least help? For my part, you should know that I am broken up over the part that I've played in hurting so many people. I am so sorry that you were hurt.

    I hope this helps you in your journey to forgiveness.
  • adventuresofmimi 3 weeks ago
    honey, you can't really lose someone who was being paid to be there for you. When a counsellor finds a new job, you get a new counsellor. That's a part of life, the same as when your accountant leaves the accounting firm, you have to get a new accountant. I get that having your counsellor leave is a lot harder, it's happened to me too, and you do feel betrayed. I'm just not sure that you telling his flatmate about the songs you'd written about him constitute you hoping he wouldn't find out about them... and being human too, he left because his life was a complete mess, you must at least see that much. And being human too, he's been hurt by your reaction, which seems from his side to be incredibly self-involved. If you cared about him as much as you claim to, it seems odd that you've not really asked how he's doing, or tried to help him when he's needed help. He's needed a lot of help, it's like he pushed a giant self-destruct button on his life, but all you seem to care about is you.

    yeah, well... I called my rose bush a tree...
  •  Errol 3 weeks ago
    I was being... sarcastic. big_smile
  •  Errol 3 weeks ago
    See, it would've been easier for me to figure it out if you put like, some type of kiwi in your icon. big_smile
  •  Lara 3 weeks ago
    Thanks for the comment
    & i didn't *mean* to put myself down tongue
    just meant I do like your lyrics & will try to live up to the inadvertent comparison smile
    I am still trying to learn how to NOT cram too much into a line, but I am lazy sometimes. I like the way your lyrics flow.
  •  Errol 3 weeks ago
    Oh, btw, everytime I come on FAWM, I have a new song. *LAUGH*

    You guys are great. big_smile Did you want me to do instrumentation on that song? If you have the singing thing figured out?
  •  Errol 3 weeks ago
    AUGH! I'm a moron. Sorry about that. I got icons confused. AAAAUUUUGGGHHH!!

    I'm SORRRRYYYYYY.....

    Don't worry, I DO know who you are. *sigh*

    *weep*

  •  Roel van Veldt 4 weeks ago
    Hey Siob (is it ok I call you Siob?),

    So you live in New Zealand but you're actually french? Did you know there are 32 other FAWM-Kiwi's? wink
    I live near Antwerp(en), and I work in Brussels. Btw, congrats with being a winner already. I seem to be one too, but I still have many songs to be recorded... Much fun work to be done. big_smile

    Roel

    P.S. If you agree, you can easily make a new demo-page for the "My Mornings" lyrics, so Kristian can take the musical challenge too. smile
  •  Billy Sea 4 weeks ago
    Yay, you win (and I'm late congratulating you.....I'm so bad) sad

    Way to go (and this is with your new job), really great effort smile
  •  John Crossman 4 weeks ago

  •  Jen Distad 4 weeks ago
    Sorry about the delay - your file hosting info should be in your inbox now. Thanks for keeping me honest on that. wink
  •  kristian 4 weeks ago
    Hi! So I'm currently in love with your My Mornings lyrics so I wanna make a song out of them if you don't mind! Already asked Roel since he's already made a version and he's cool with it, but since you're the genius behind them, its your call! big_smile
  • Brianna Rose 1 month ago
    Thanks, you're almost finished as well!
  • yojayoung 1 month ago
    Thank you for your comments, btw.
  •  Roel van Veldt 1 month ago
    Hi Siobhan,

    I would love to try to put music on some of your lyrics! "My mornings" and "Same condition" inspire me. If you like my style, can you put me as a co-author?

    Thanks a lot! big_smile

    Roel
  • Brianna Rose 1 month ago
    Thanks for the comment smile Which verses would you recomend cutting out?
  •  Julie 1 month ago
    Woah... you go girl big_smile
    Thanks for adding me ... now I'll have to find time over next few days. I think you'll have done the winner thing by then. wink
  • testthebest 1 month ago
    It's great to be back! Thanks for your great comments! Wow you've been busy...I'll have to give all your collabs a listen.
  • groundhog591 1 month ago
    Haha. Yeah! I am! We should do a collaboration again this time. smile
  •  marklberry 1 month ago
    Wandered over here from "I'm Not Nancy Rost" on Helen's page. Glad I did. Rock on!
    Cheers! MLB
  •  kermy 1 month ago
    no worries...after a recording - i'll be asking for a video...and if you give me a video,...I might want a plane ticket to go with it!
  •  Bruce H. McCosar 1 month ago
    Greetings, then! I've been teaching for six years. The thing I like best about my job is being in the classroom. The think I like least? Being a political piñata every election year. You know, whack us hard enough and prizes fall out. But beyond that, it's an ideal job for a science guy like me.

    English ... although I like creative writing, I always hated studying the dusty corners of literature. Utilitarian writing? For crying out loud, we could teach an entire 4 year course on just the 20th century -- without digging up those old tedious nightmares big_smile
  • adventuresofmimi 1 month ago
    also, names have clearly been named, and discussions been had, else we wouldn't know about it, now would we??
  • adventuresofmimi 1 month ago
    You should know that everything published on the internet can be found again. And the person now knows that your songs exist. And now -I'm- so angry.
  •  Julie 1 month ago
    I didn't know how to save all the stuff on 5090 etc and didn't have time to figure it out - so I appreciate your friend being too busy to do OE spoke word wink ... I hope I still have my stuff on my digital recorder. Will have to try to find O Te Puke.
  •  Julie 1 month ago
    Hi little kiwi smile
  •  Billy Sea 1 month ago
    Great to see you back up in full force smile I have some ideas for a couple of your songs but need to wait until everyone in the house is awake. See your general invitaiton to use you lyrics under your bio so whatever I come up with I'll post as a new song, and if you hate them, I'll just kill them (and bury them in the lawn) lol.
    Enjoy the job. Wow, teenagers? I hope you don't get any students like I was as a teenager smile
  • wazanegi 1 month ago
    Managing the teaching/writing gig I see! Putting me to shame (only one up) haha. Have fun!!
  •  devin 1 month ago
    I accept your invitation without the slightest reservation....I have some ideas, but I wish to practice them some more to provide a better demo. I will update soon!
  •  Helen 1 month ago
    Either way is fine. I have an idea for it. I just need to get around to recording, which I may do tonight, or else tomorrow, hopefully.
  •  squirt 1 month ago
    I want to do it right is a cool collab. I like the way the music really supports the 'mood' of they lyrics. smile
  •  Billy Sea 1 month ago
    Well I was going to only do 14....then I saw Burr's goal of 14K so figured I better increase it to 100 smile
  • wazanegi 1 month ago
    LaPetite! smile still massively impressed! I also teach so feel free to vent about how annoying the little beeps can be!! haha. PS sneaky writing once classes are settled in to their work is 1000% acceptable wink
  •  Halfpenny Orchestra 1 month ago

  •  Errol 2 months ago
    Hey Lapetite! I used this software for my novel:
