  Thank you so much Wolf. And you are very welcome, always so amazing to hear your songs!!!
  Here is the link to Childhood memory on youtube:

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Thank you very much Wolf for your great support!!! Yes it was amazing to hear Mike's vocals, instrumental backing and the lyric!
  Happy Spring!
  I'm finishing working on the slide-show/video for our collaboration, will send you the link when it is ready. Fingers crossed my computer doesn't have different ideas... It keeps shutting down, I think it's chocking on my music lol.

•  valeriecox 2 months ago

  Hi wolf. Thanks for listening and the nice comments. Thanks too for guy's link, but I did already discover that my mic problems result form dropping the dang thing one too many times.

• gerrybhoy 2 months ago

  So you should be my friend, both of you, bet the lyricist is doing sumersaults.

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  

• shutyatrap 2 months ago

  Thanks Wolf for commenting on some more of my tracks. I am now back to 100%. Your input assists me as I am trying to think of some good ideas in remixing and re-recording some bit on the FAWM 2012 tracks.
  
  I also look forward to catching up with more and more of your tracks over the coming weeks as I found your works amazing. As for Karan I fully agree that she is just so amazing and I have enjoyed her works very very much this FAWM.

• kristi 2 months ago

  Thank you for your very kind comments on "What Does it Matter." Nadia and Valerie really bring the lyric to life! Glad you enjoyed it!

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Thank you so much Wolf for your wonderful comment on my collaboration with Kristi and Val.

• heidiwiencko 2 months ago

  Wolf, it was a pleasure knowing you through FAWM. Clearly you're the big man on campus, a big asset and an integral part of keeping the momentum of FAWM alive. Thanks a lot for not only encouraging me, but hundreds of others. Means a lot!

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Thank you so much Wolf for your amazing support including leaving your beautiful comment on my new website. I can't thank you enough for all the kind words you said about my music and collaborations. Your comments are very inspiring. Wishing you a very happy weekend.

•  rhymetime 2 months ago

  A last THANK YOU, Wolf, for all the comments left on my page. I am amazed at all you accomplished plus all the support you offered people.. That is pretty wonderful, like having double home runs. You have won a large fan base which is really nice.
  Many Thanks for all the help and uplifting replies.
  Annie

•  rosieposy8 2 months ago

  thanks for your kind comment, much appreciated! Its one of my favourite songs I've written.. Hope u had a good fawm!

• jamestoffee 2 months ago

  "I was continuously enjoying - very much."
  
  LOL.....Thanks for the post on this and the others!

•  attim 2 months ago

  OMG Wolfie ... you've really outdone yourself this time! Are you going for the "Most Prolific Fawmer" award?
  
  We're kind of polar opposites this Fawm ... as I had no songs til the very last day!
  
  It will take me a while to listen to all these ...

• jamkar 2 months ago

  Oh and Happy Leap Day! : )

•  jadesongbird 2 months ago

  carrie dot treder at g mail dot com

•  jadesongbird 2 months ago

  Collab, you say? How do I appear not too eager? (squee!)

•  jadesongbird 2 months ago

  Catching up with you!
  
  One, the "Strange Skies" demo is fixed. I'd left the "e" out of "jadesongbird" in my file name.
  
  Second, thank you *so* much for the feedback on "The Gun's Still Smokin'". It's one of those that needs work, but I can't always see what it is about a song that's bothering me. You are right about that last verse.
  
  Lastly....three songs... I am so nervous! I'm going to do the 8 PM EST skirmish tonight, and I have the chords for another song started... I was thinking of doing something a cappella, with layered voice....

• mrblitz000 2 months ago

  thanks for all of your comments during this fawm. at one point, you had wondered about the bass being panned so far left. my guitar is tuned way down, so i tend to try and separate bass/guitar left/right, because sometimes the bass and guitar get in each others' way. regardless of that, what i 'finally' went with on this 'fawm album' was to pan the 'high bass' far left, while keeping the 'low bass' more in towards the middle. yada yada. anyway, thanks again for all of the listens and comments! it was great hearing your material, too.

• jamkar 2 months ago

  : )

• jamestoffee 2 months ago

  Hi Wolf,
  
  Sorry about the technical problems on hearing the songs. I understand not wanting to risk computer problems. I only have them on soundclick, but I had never heard of that kind of problem with soundclick either.....thanks for the attempts!

• heidiwiencko 2 months ago

  Finished the instrumentation of my 13th song. 1 more to go! No where near your mega 38 song collection, though.

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Hi again Wolf, I've sent you email

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Okay, not sure if I can do anything by the end of tomorrow but I could post it as an idea and add you as my collaborator. Would that be okay?

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Triple winner!!! Three times congratulations! No, more because not only you have a great number of songs, because you have great songs!!!

• arthurrossi 2 months ago

  Thanks a lot, Wolf! Anyway, I think I will fail this time... You know, this number does not really show the number of actually written songs as there are some double-postings when 2 different artists have chosen the same set of lyrics or when some of the songs were posted again to be "in the time line", but I missed to delete the previously posted set of lyrics because of laziness, so actually, I am lacking some more than only 5 songs to reach that magic number... however, I hope this will be a great incentive for next FAWM...
  By the way, you did a great FAWM 2012, too... You won it far beyond twice... and you write songs, which, at least according to me, should count like lyrics multiplied by factor 10...
  Great job, my friend!!

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Hello Wolf, thank you so much for listening to my zong I've enjoyed so much composing it, I'd love to have a go at another one and I'll be delighted to collaborate with you. Thank you so much for offering, always a treat to collaborate with you!!!

•  karan 2 months ago

  Oh YES, please, let's collaborate - alas, I'm afraid it will have to be next year, I've got plenty of work to do tomorrow. Make sure you'll be back!

•  jadesongbird 2 months ago

  Thanks for your comments on "Most Days", Wolf! The ticking was actually intentional, my guitar pick against my iPhone, to simulate a ticking clock. I can see how it would be distracting, though. Hmmm.... I'll have to play with this idea in a different, less straightforward way.

• shutyatrap 2 months ago

  Heres a link to a song I did for Jessica and it has her in our home playing while I sing. I hope you and your family enjoy this!

• shutyatrap 2 months ago

  That song with your 4 year old Grandson is fantastic and myself and Jessica both enjoyed it greatly. Lots of love you your family and well done on such a great site showing your excellent music.

• shutyatrap 2 months ago

  Hello Wolf this is Jessica speaking. "Thank you very much for the comment on my song. Whats it like in Iceland? I have never heard of Iceland. Bye."

• shutyatrap 2 months ago

  Thanks again for you great support today. I really appreciate it so much. I will probably think about giving 50/90 a crack this year. If you get time could you please check out the song sung by my Girl Jessica. She is hanging out for a comment and I'm sure it would make her/my day.

• jamkar 2 months ago

  My pleasure to hear your comments on @dawnsoap collab. : )

• jamkar 2 months ago

  Appreciate your kind comments on Rush w/ Heidi's help. Thanks! Do check out OK in LA
  @dawnsoap as well.

•  jadesongbird 2 months ago

  Well heck. It's been a tough year, and I'd resigned myself to less than 14 songs, but with encouragement like yours, how could I give up??

•  jadesongbird 2 months ago

  Hey there, friendly neighborhood Wolf. I wasn't sure if you'd wanted me to tell you each time I upload something new, or if you'd been checking in, but I have some new stuff! Including my very first song skirmish!

• chriddof 2 months ago

  Thank you for the nice comment!

• shutyatrap 2 months ago

  Hello Wolf. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my song tonight. Its one of the better moments of my day and makes me happy I made some effort.

• lhcisco 2 months ago

  Hey thanks for the feedback on "Walls" man. Good lord look at all your songs dude! I need to get my behind in gear!

• jacindae 2 months ago

  27 songs? Good golly you are a machine! It's going to take me awhile to actually catch up with these, but I did want to say thank you for the kind words and I'll absolutely let you know when things get fixed up. ^^

•  snoozin 2 months ago

  Hi Wolf...I really appreciate your feedback on 'Behind the Door'...will be back to listen to your work after the skirmishes subside.....

•  katebirdrex 2 months ago

  Hey, Wolf! Thanks for the heads-up, I'd left a letter out of the URL. It's fixed now!

•  tcelliott 2 months ago

  Wolf: Rules are for breaking. There really isn't a time limit for a song. Most seem to hit around 2-3 minutes, though. I've had shorter than 2 minutes and felt okay with them. And I've had nearly 4 minutes and didn't like em at all. So... to each their own, i guess. If you are happy with it, then that's all that counts.
  
  thanks for listening.

•  tcelliott 2 months ago

  thanks, Wolf. A lower case d got me a fail.

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Thank you Wolf

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Thank you so much Wolf for taking time to listen and posting your beautiful comment. I love Billy's music and demo

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Hello Wolf, I have good news. Billy created beautiful music and demo to "She couldn't forget her sad past" which I think would be better titled "if she was loved she didn't care". If you get a chance would you kindly listen to it please

•  blindkiwi 2 months ago

  Thanks for the encouragement wolf, I gotta check in here more often, last time I looked you had 7 songs up then all of a sudden there's 24! I will be workin my way back through them

• jamkar 2 months ago

  (Bows at the crowd clutching said kewpie doll and displaying a hole in pants.)

• jamkar 2 months ago

  Hee hee that would be fun! Thanks Wolf for bringing me a chuckle!

• jamkar 2 months ago

  Just got back from Matt's house @followawackymoose. Do have a listen.

• jamkar 2 months ago

  Thanks for the vote of confidence over at Heidi's place Wolf, looks like your the "goto guy" for a lot of folks here at FAWM.

•  rhymetime 2 months ago

  Hi Wolf,
  Thank you again for both your help with the title and your very kind comments. I hope I never have that much trouble again. I am glad you like the song. There is never enough time to learn a song during this short month so it is a challenge to record a song that is unknown. But I like to try all the same. /Annie

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  

•  musicsongwriter 2 months ago

  Hello Wolf. Thank you so much for your amazing thoughts on my keyboard submission. I was hesitating to post it and I was thinking "What am I doing?" I came to check thinking I'd have to delete it lol. Well, I'll keep it since Wolf thinks it's ok
  Thank you so much for all your support!!! It means more than you can imagine!

• mrblitz000 2 months ago

  thanks for all your comments! on 'raven woman,' i'll probably put a keyboard solo at the beginning. the vocals had all of the 'spaces' cut out, so they're pretty much continuous. on 'trust fund baby' you had mentioned a 'moog' sound. that's probably dblue glitch vst on the guitar.

• mannyc53 3 months ago

  Thanks Wolf

• theawkwardsleep 3 months ago

• jamkar 3 months ago

  : )

• heidiwiencko 3 months ago

  wow, 21 songs already?? You're just breezing through February aren't you?? I just came back from a camping trip and have a couple of songs already up my sleeve. I'll post those as soon as I record them tonight, hopefully catching up in time!

•  brzan 3 months ago

  Thanks for such high praise for "You Don't Know Me" Wolf!! It means a lot!

•  jadesongbird 3 months ago

  Thanks again, Wolfie. Your comments and wonderful advice for "A Different Light" made me smile. I'll be playing around with it for sure.

• jamkar 3 months ago

  Wolf my collaborator Stanimir was reluctant to have our collab posted here, and frankly all I needed was a half song anyway, so up jumped the elevator song!

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  Haha! I just went on my page and saw 14 songs thinking how come? I knew there were 13! I saw my lyrics posted twice. Who was that strange person doing that? LOL! Anyway, I deleted the one without a comment, went on the one with a comment and what did I find? My friend Wolf read the lyric already!!! WOW! Thank you so much for being there and letting me know of the posting twice. All sorted. Now I am off to listen something amazing. Looking forward to hearing your new song

• jamkar 3 months ago

  Got two up this am Wolf. I guess 'productive weekend' is a relative term.

• jamkar 3 months ago

  Got two up this am Wolf. I guess 'productive weekend' is a relative term.

•  brzan 3 months ago

  Wolf, You Don't Know Me is up, but I can't get it to work on Soundcloud, so I hope the FAWM link works for you!

•  rhymetime 3 months ago

  Wolf, you are much too kind to me. I am pleased that you used the word cello because that is what I think I am doing when I play the nyckelharpa, a traditional Swedish instrument which I play on my lap with a small bow. It has 4 rows of wooden pegs that hit the strings when touched.. all of it is muscle memory because you can't see your hand touching the pegs. one dozen sympathetic strings sit beneath the four main strings which are tuned like a viola. That is my mental cello. I always appreciate hearing from you . Thanks so much!

•  rhymetime 3 months ago

  Hi Wolf, Thanks for your suggestion, it worked and it's up now. You are so nice to want to drop by and see what's new. I am moving very slowly as you can see. I was amazed to see all you have achieved . Congratulations on a pile of fresh songs. a CD's worth of work. Clap Clap!
  Annie

• jamkar 3 months ago

  Productive weekend. Thanks for asking!

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  Thank you Wolf for your beautiful comment on my piano piece. Your support is totally amazing, thank you so much, it means a lot to me as it is coming from an amazing songwriter! Congratulations on 20 new songs. Many more to come!!!

•  tissueman 3 months ago

  Thanks for your comment on my song. Not a fun topic to write about, but it was carthartic.

•  toms 3 months ago

  Thank you for the kind comment, Wolf! Congratulations on your killer win!

•  petemurphy 3 months ago

  Hi Wolf Kier, thank you so much for the comment. It's my first upload to fawm, I've been nervous about putting anything up due to a great lack of confidence. I feel that my voice is my biggest let down, and I wish I could 'own it', but I don't know how to improve (I've been singing backing vocals in my band for years, and thought it would've 'toughened up' by now, but it hasn't). Cheers!

• jamestoffee 3 months ago

  Thanks so much for the listen and post!.....and congrats on the songs.

•  blindkiwi 3 months ago

  Too much work and too little play makes for an unhappy muse I am afraid Wolf. I've got about 10 songs in various stages of incompletion, If I can get two of them finished before Feb 29 I will be happy.

•  roelvanveldt 3 months ago

  Hi Wolf, yesterday I went to your site and listened to 5 albums in a row or so, and I didn't grow tired of your music. No no, I love it!
  
  Wanted to let you know that I uploaded a mix of "Winter Morning Sun" that shouldn't have the clipping in it. Thank you for your comment, btw!

•  skullcrush 3 months ago

  Thanks for your comments as well, glad you like my stuff :]
  The idea of actually HOSTING a FAWMCast sounds a bit intimidating, although I know there are easy instructions for it, and I'm quite sure I can pull off any amount of talking if I run out of music etc etc... Maybe after we come back from London, so during the last week. MAYBE. Thanks for the encouragement!
  
  //EDIT: Congrats for winning to you too!

•  sueremus 3 months ago

  I fixed the problem with my song not playing, the URL was messed up! Thanks for the advice:)

•  axl 3 months ago

  Hey. Congratulations on "winning"! Not that I'm surprised at all after what you pulled off at 50/90

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  

• jamkar 3 months ago

  Looks like fawm may be seeing a Wolf Kier double album this month! Thanks Wolf for giving my 1/2 song entry a listen, with a nice comment included!

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  One more and you are the winner!!! Thank you very much Wolf for your beautiful comment on my mysterious piano piece

•  skullcrush 3 months ago

  Oh, so nice to hear you actually liked to listen to me chatter away

•  samsorrow 3 months ago

  thanks for the comment on my songs. I really enjoyed listening to your stuff as well. this is what i love about fawm, hearing the crazy cool stuff people come up with. Thanks again

•  joetime 3 months ago

  Wolf, thanks again. You're right, fills are something I haven't experimented with yet, and they would def help me out. I've got 7 more songs to practice on
  I guess what you're saying is more 'build up' during the course of the song. In which case I agree. I'm running a little behind so I'm cutting down on my arrangement/mixing time. But I'm def gettin faster at getting the basics down without too much trouble, so that's the next step...
  
  Congrats on finishing 12 songs!

• the3queens 3 months ago

  Wolf, thx for comments. The mix is down because I was using Edirol rather than direct with mic through audacity. So no mic on voice, and no mix actually. I'm having some time constraints due to my schedule so it was easiest and fastest way to post. I'll probably rerecord when I get a moment, over Predisent's Day long weekend.

• jessicagraae 3 months ago

  Thank you, fellow Viking!

•  fendertele71 3 months ago

  Wolf. thanks for the comment on Changing Tides. I have noticed the distortion, still trying to isolate where it's coming from. The song actually flows right into I Wonder (An earlier track I wrote). the songs play together seamlessly (I posted a link to the MP3s so people could get the idea). thanks for listening.

•  jadesongbird 3 months ago

  Thanks for the compliment, Wolf, it was fun to write.

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  Thank you very much for your beautiful comment on my nostalgic composition Wolf. I have a good excuse-it was released on 12/02, not on 14/02 So yes, hope is in the air

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  Well, since you've asked lol, here is my piano piece to my lyric. Warning: sad, nostalgic, romantic... http://fawm.org/songs/24632/
