Probably not going to get to 14, but I'll do my best. Hope y'all like what you hear. It'll likely be pretty straightforward pop with a couple acoustic mopey songs to round out the bunch.

    I had you on my watchlist from last year and was upset that you might not be posting this year. But I just found your song and got so excited!! Great to see you back! big_smile

    Thanks for the comment. Jagged Little Pill was constantly in in CD player when it came out.

    I think you have more vocal power than you realize. A bit of training, and I bet you'd blow the house down.

    Hey TTB, I made a track for you to sing a melody to -- I used @hammersmith's common drums from last year, so the verse has a reggae lilt but the chorus is pure TTB rocky I think -- I've been shamelessly asking my idols for collabs this year, so I thought a title might be "Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained" ... big_smile it's at http://www.songsville.org/ttb the timing is a little ... ahem ... fluid ... but see what you think!

    Great... just GREAT. Thanks a lot for upping the ante and actually posting one. I'd better get busy now, eh? I sat down tonight and have ideas for five recorded. I am starting to have some hope. big_smile

    I unlocked Nerdfighter Like. I can't sing and play at the same time so I figured I'd sing the lyrics at least and post 'em!

    I really loved Bend and Break and Break You (version #2) from last year. I still listen to them from time to time. I think your voice really ties in with the guitar. You were really channeling some good vibes last year! I can only hope to get as good as you!

    Hey! Are you going to be doing FAWM this year? I really hope so. It wouldn't be FAWM without your amazing music. smile
  •  wyatt 1 week ago
    I'd be honored to collab with you.
    I'm going to put my first lyric up directly that I'd hear as Rock but could be country or Pop or whatever

    Glad you're back...loved 'Streetlight Song' over the summer.
