Ding Ding! Round 5 in FAWM World. This year we shall be trying for something more complete, less ramshackle and about as eclectic as before. More is More.

Facts:
1) There are three of us.
2) We live in London which is the capital of somewhere.
3) We are super excited to be on the fawmpilation this year and would like it if you told us how you thought the track came out.
4) We have a brand new studio that will either make things easier or harder. We don't know which.
5) If you write it down it will probably come true.

We like to comment and like to be commented on, don't be afraid to tell the truth, we are big boys and won't cry. Hopefully we will be able to give you some quality feedback.

Ask us anything. Yes you do.

Thanks for the comment on 'dream'. Nice to hear what's there works. I hope it will become more than promising one day but I have no idea what to do more with it right now. But it'll work itself out.

Hey PlushBaby,

Thanks for your nice comments & the interesting advice. To read the original poem that inspired "Life is just so little time", you'll find a link on the lyrics page now.

You're right about the chorus, I want it to be more consistently higher. That will be a challenge for the next version.

If you say, a "really large scale production", do you mean a pop/rock song with drums, bass, guitars etc? In the month of March I'm intending to arrange 3 or 4 of my FAWM-songs, so more detailed proposals (which songs & how to arrange) are highly appreciated!!

Thank you very much!

Roel

P.S. One of my other goals is to check out all songs on my watchlist this Month, so you'll see me around. If you could use my help or advice, don't hesitate to let me know.

I felt like 'I in Team' was going to extend out for ages at the end, but I guess my attention wandered and it ended up short, as my songs generally tend to do. I'm going to redo some of the guitars (there's a fluffed note right at the start that really annoys me!) so I might lengthen it a bit... we shall see. Cheers for the feedback!

Looking forward to checking out your other songs when I get a moment, I've only heard the first 8 so far. 'Hark Toledo!' is definitely one of my favourite songs of the year.

Y'know...for the longest time I thought you weren't FAWMing this year. I was wrong. And you've got tunes. I must listen.

Thanks for the kind comments! Get some more songs up, you guys. The current two have me BADLY wanting more!

I normally use different keys (usually in the A/D/E family) for verse, chorus, and bridge. But Going Rouge came in a frenzy of inspiration, so I'm keeping the chorus as it is. The song wrote itself, after all.

As for the MIDI-simulated guitar: I agree it sounds unique. The "Distortion Guitar" instrument surely differs between synthesizer brands and makes. But for me it was always a stopgap measure while I learn to play my guitar better. I can now, so that initial demo was just a quick kludge I hacked up during Palin's speech. The guitar version's coming soon, so you can compare.
