Influences:   Nick Drake, Paddy McAloon, Mark Kozelek, Joni Mitchell

I've been songwriting for around 12 years. For the past five, I have played with four other talented musicians, in our band – hazeyjane. I have collaborated with some of them. I sing and play guitar. Never done FAWM before cos I am stupidly slow at songwriting and 14 songs just seems, well, impossible for me; I don't think I've ever written 14 in a whole year. This year I just thought WTF.

  Thank you for your interest. By all means, do go ahead and work with 'Hiraeth'. 😊
  
  The word is pronounced 'HEE-rye-eth' (emphasis on the first syllable) or the simpler 'HEE-reth' will do. But the 'r' sound needs to be rolled a little so that it sounds Welsh.
  
  I listened to and enjoyed 'Fire on Marlborough Street', 'Last Boat Leaving', and especially 'The Rose'. They gave me a feeling about your musical approach. I'm confident you'll create lovely music for the nostalgic 'Hiraeth'. 😊
  
  If you'd like to email me, you can click on the envelope icon near my profile picture. (I can send you an Audacity file with the pronunciation if you like.)

  You cannot tell at all that you struggled with the key. It really does sound lovely.
  Would love to know your thoughts on some of ours when you get a chance.
  So happy FAWM has inspired you to write so many new songs 😊

  Hi, thanks for the positive comment on Stars.
  The music inspired me to write a set of lyrics, if they inspire you to write another set of lyrics , that's fine by me.
  Cheers

  Hi @hazeyjane, it's downloadable for you because you uploaded it, but not for the general public. In settings, however, there's a specific checkbox you have to tick to make it downloadable, which isn't on by default.

  Thanks for the nice comments on "New Shades" - gonna try them Gm chords after FAWM is over!
  Best to you!

  Hi Chris, thanks for your kind words. I'm not able to write a lot of music at the moment, so if you want to have a go, please do.

  Thanks for your kind comments on "The Devil's Rain". Glad to hear soundcloud fixed the issue! Looking forward to hearing more from you as well

  @sourcedecay  Feb 6

  Hi Chris, I did just go ahead and move things to soundcloud. Hopefully that'll take care of the issue for good. Thanks!

  I tried the alternative link you provided http://files.fawmers.org/FAWM_2021/sourcedecay/The%20Devil%E2%80%99...
  
  and it doesn’t want to work either. How frustrating.
  Maybe try Soundcloud?

  I wonder if I'm doing something wrong with how I'm linking to the files when uploading them? I'm hosting them on the fawm files site but I've had issues here and there getting them to play myself. Hmm.

  Do you know the song ‘How to Make Gravy’ by Paul Kelly? You remind me of him. Love discovering new music like yours on FAWM- thanks for sharing!

  @mariekevinkmusic  Feb 4

  Thanks for your nice words. I shall strive to put another obscure word in my next song 😀

  @majordanby  Feb 4

  Thanks for your comments. The chords are different because I’m an idiot and forgot tune the Open D properly. My tuning is DADF#BD
