Artist Bio
Influences: All genres and styles - from Baroque and Blues to Renaissance and Rock.
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers or They/Theirs
After many years of loving deeply, learning broadly, laughing freely, and living fully with a wild and crazy muse as my guide, I began writing songs and started to play music as inspired by a fellow former FAWMer. We made an album together. That was in 2013. I have since had the remarkable opportunity to collaborate writing music with many awesome FAWMers far and near who inspire and delight me with their talents and passion.
I am grateful to you, my fellow FAWMers, for your inspiration, encouragement, and generosity! You never cease to impress and amaze me. I am sure this FAWM will be no exception! Enjoy!
Always open to collaborations, challenges, and co-writing! Happy to write lyrics for you or have you put music to mine.

Glad you liked it; sorry I didn't have time to develop solid A/B/C sections for the instrumentation, so I tried to handle the transitions on the vocal. Thanks for letting me take a try at a ballad!
-
@kadmad202 Mar 19
Great to meet you at FOP! Next year I'll practice a little more before coming, but glad you enjoyed the (poorly-executed😏) songs anyway!
-
@msculli1 Mar 16
Thanks for the comment on Like much appreciated.
Wow over 1000 comments and 136 songs. That's a phenomenal achievement. Well done. I checked out a few, not the whole 136 that would take about 28 days to analyse them properly.
Thanks again. -
@tamsnumber4 Mar 13
Thanks for commenting on my collab songs "Hope Beyond Hope" and "Reach For The Stars", I appreciate the listens!

@metalfoot Mar 11
As you are probably aware, I'm really not good at playing piano. So I figured out the chords on the piano then rewrote the whole thing on the computer in a music notation program, output it to a wav file using a piano sound font... then recorded my vocals. So it's the computer playing piano so beautifully on "Gimme a Straw". Thanks for listening!

Hello Kahlo!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the journey into the spirit waters and the dolphins! I'm flattered especially as I have been admiring your work through other mutual FAWM friends. I'd love to collab with you sometime?
Congratulations on an amazing output of new material. I get the feeling you are quite prolific during the year as well!
Cheers,

@tamsnumber4 Mar 7
Thank you for commenting on my song "Doll", I appreciate the listen!
-
@wacha Mar 6
Thank you for your kind words on"Something Doesn't Add Up" I was pleasantly surprised with how that one turned out.
-
@santadharma Mar 6
Thank you so much for your comments. Would love to read/listen to all 135 but likely won’t get there. Always love to see how your lyrics inspire so many different types of songs. Great work!!
-
@barbara Mar 5
It does my heart a whole lot of good to know that a song I made had the power to transfer an uplifting spirit. I think that's a bucket list item for me! I'm so happy it hit the spot for you today. 😀
-
@jamkar Mar 5
Thank you Liz! And big Congratulations!
-
@wacha Mar 4
Finally catching up on my thanks yous. Thank you for your kind words on "Love's Muse". I really appreciate that you take the time to listen to and comment on my songs.
-
@tamsnumber4 Mar 3
Thanks for visiting my collabs "How Long" and "Since We First Touched" and for listening and commenting, it is appreciated!
-
@splittybooms Mar 2
Hey Kahlo! (i realize I call you by kahlo and not liz...sorry if you'd rather me not! I just like that name for some reason!)
Just wanted to say congrats and that I truly appreciate your skill and talent, and for wanting to team up with me again. It means a lot for someone to want me to work with them. So yeah, I just wanted to say thanks, congrats, and hopefully see you during 50/90 so we can make something else! -
@wacha Mar 2
Thanks for taking another listen to "Barbra", reading the lyrics I can definitely see how it could be taken as a lost love song. I'm glad people can connect to my songs in any way possible. I'm really glad the song works on more than one level otherwise I'm just writing about zombies.
On a side note, after "Night of the Living Dead" George Romero realized he could use the zombies to get people to come see his movies which were about much more than zombies so I find it fitting that I'm writing songs about zombie movies that have much more meaning than zombies movies and their characters.
One of my dearest musician friends told me to stop telling people when my songs are about movies to let there be some mystery. I still will say some of the Joan Crawford stuff because the songs are about more than just the movie but I don't just say, "This is about the classic Joan Crawford movie The Damned Don't Cry" anymore. -
@roddy Mar 1
You did 135 songs!!!!!!. Amazing work, glad that we did a couple of collabs. Sorry not to have had time to finish your 'Winds blow through' lyrics but you got a brilliant piece from @andybalham. 50/90 in just a few months 😀
-
@leomozi Mar 1
Thanks for all the listens and comments! I hope your pup likes "BEG," and I'm sure you're far less sadistic than the narrator of my song. 😉

Wow never too late!so many songs wow!
If you have time once Fawm winds down won’t you check out my album https://itunes.apple.com/za/artist/ne... well done -
@moonraccoon Mar 1
Hahaha! My wonderful Amanda and I don't do the lovey-dovey stuff. She got the dedication for Murder Bunny b/c she takes justice for children very seriously (as I like to think we all do). The lines that hint strongly are "Thinks of not a grown-up she would sa-a-a-ave." and "Icky midnight thieves incarnate, she could kill ‘em all and ne’er reclaim what they took."
-
@tamsnumber4 Mar 1
aww, I'm glad you are ok with it, if I had more time it would be better, but that is a beauty, thanks for letting me sing it and surprise you with it!!
-
@matthew62 Mar 1
Thanks for listening to so many of my songs and for the kind comments.
They are truly appreciated. I also wish to say that I am a big fan of your writing. You're one of the folks whose songs I always look forward to checking out. -
@mmmmarcus Mar 1
Thank you so much for the comment on tonight, tonight, tonight and for your continued support throughout FAWM! And wow your output has been insane here! Awesome job with all the songs!
-
@cindyrella Mar 1
We tied! Although you have more total songs Congrats!

@samsorrow Feb 28
Thank you for your comment! On you don't know I do have a demo but you are still welcome to take a crack at it.
-
@metalfoot Feb 28
Hi, I went ahead and did something. Easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission and all that. Hope you're not too mad at me! 😀
-
@metalfoot Feb 28
We, uh, haven't done a collab yet. Oops. Sorry. If my sinus headache settles I'll dig through your list and see if something jumps out at me later on.
-
@leomozi Feb 28
I’m glad you liked the music I set to your wonderful lyrics! I am grateful to have gotten you as my random collab partner, and I hope you’ll share some lyrics with me again next FAWM.
-
@sjbatavia Feb 28
So glad you like it.
-
@matthew62 Feb 28
First of all, I am truly astounded with your prodigious output this FAWM!
Secondly, thanks for your kind comments regarding Pretty. Much appreciated. -
@splittybooms Feb 28
Ok its done for now.
Do you want to post it, or do you want me to? -
@splittybooms Feb 28
Oh wow! Well that's ok with me as long as its ok with you!
I need to check out the other person's! Maybe its something we could mash together lol
Welp, I'm almost done with mine and will be posting this evening/tonight...its going to be quite rough as I'm rushing trying to meet the deadline - that's a mix of trying to perfect things that don't need to be perfect for a demo and also distractions.
Hope the other person doesn't mind... -
@sjbatavia Feb 28
Just posted a quick recording of If I Could. It could use some work, but I think I captured the emotion of the lyrics pretty well. You are a writing machine!!!!
-
@factorytale Feb 27
WOW, 118 song!! You are very productive!! well done! and thank you for the nice comment on my collab with @ajna1960!
-
@theresaj Feb 27
Thank you for the sweet comment! It’s actually because of you that I even did fawm this year. I had practically made up my mind to skip it then I saw “You Are Beautiful” and knew I was supposed to do your song and that got me started. So thank you for creating such touching, meaningful songs. Congrats on a gazillion songs! You’re amazing!
-
@splittybooms Feb 27
Hey just to let you know, I actually am in the process of tackling 'Disconnect'...got started tonight and will finish working on it 2moro, hopefully posting it 2moro, too!
I hope you'll dig the vibe 😀 -
@valeriecox Feb 27
That's is for your comments. And thanks for the congratulations, but I haven't actually made a double FAWM yet. Still need 4 more songs. It's a premature congratulations. 😝
-
@barbara Feb 27
Liz! Thank you for greeting my song so warmly at the gate! I really needed that. Hugs to you!!

@berni1954 Feb 26
Just a short note to tell you the full version of Amanda's "Expectations" with a rock setting by yours truly is now up.

@andybalham Feb 26
Hi Liz. I'm glad I returned to 'Simplify' as well. Thanks again for your lyrics and also for being such a great person to collaborate with. It's been such a pleasure.
-
@oaksnprairie Feb 26
Would you believe my bread machine just started to beep as I read your comment? Thank you for listening and commenting. I'm absolutely floored by your (as I write) 114 songs. Well done.

@davewermers Feb 26
Thanks for your comment on "Loose Ends". I had great lyrics to work from @cindyrella !

@darcistrutt Feb 26
Thanks so much for your support! I am grateful for FAWMily!
-
@andygetch Feb 26
Hey Liz! Here is a link to our backwards lofi corpse https://fawm.org/songs/97903/ and I named @ballyhoot as a collaborator. If you could also post a new song with a link to the recording and name @sph as collaborator then we all end up with a song credit. This is the one time I kinda miss the 5090 website cause we can name multiple collaborators. Thanks for playing, this was fun!
-
@roddy Feb 25
Hi, re 'Come dance' I must have been a bit imprecise in my comments. The words are fantastic, what I was suggesting was that the music and the vocal could move towards something more passionate in the final verse. It was the music that I thought could move up a gear, the words are perfect. PS I really like all your lyrics 😀
-
@jamesstaubes Feb 25
Great! I can't start working on the song until tomorrow night but I bet I can get it done in one session, since the lyrics are written. Looking forward to seeing what we get.
-
@susancantey Feb 25
I might have time to do one of your songs before the gong sounds. Would you be so kind as to pick a couple that you think would be a good fit and email them to me? Danke!
-
@hummingbear Feb 25
Thanks for commenting on Big Zero Birthday and Germaphobe Blues. KadMad202 did such a nice job with that! I really appreciate your supportive comments.

@rainchaser Feb 25

@billysea Feb 24
I'm thrilled you like it. I always worry when I collab with someone 😀

@roddy Feb 24
Thanks for commenting on my lyrics only Movie skirmish. I really appreciate that.
-
@billysea Feb 24
Having a bit of a problem adding you as collab partner. Will leave it locked until I can figure that out.

@nancyrost Feb 24
I always enjoy working with your lyrics, Liz! 😀

@donna Feb 24
Thanks, Liz. That's what I was after. 😉 I know exactly what you mean about all the letters and numbers. Nightmare territory. I'm dyscalculic, so numbers are enough to wreak havoc with my brain. 😉

Suffice it to say that you're an inspiration to us all. Great work. -
@donna Feb 24
Liz, can you give me the link to your 'Off Track' superskirmish thread? It was given the same number as one of the other skirmishes, and it's driving me crazy trying to track it down. Thanks! 😉

@wobbiewobbit Feb 24
thanks for the lovely message! glad to be an inspiration and encouragement. and it's hilarious about the bra thing! hahah!
-
@cindyrella Feb 24
Same here! We both have been writing like mad though! 😀
-
@cindyrella Feb 24
We are both at 100!! How cool. Thanks for listening to Easter Again. Marthie had asked for some Easter lyrics. I had sent her He Shows Up, and then she wanted a bunny one, so I did It's Easter Again.
-
@johncrossman Feb 24
Hey Liz! I'm sending you an email link from your contact email here on the fawms. Let me know if you're ok with it or feel free to post. I can always re-record. Fun.
-
@aprilm Feb 23
Thanks Liz - The Cave of Old Forgotten Women is definitely reminiscent of crones and the circle of power around them, but also the sadness of being relegated to the invisibility of being an older woman in our society.
-
@wacha Feb 23
Thank you for all of the great feedback on my songs this morning! I had "Black Ice" done but just needed to mix in the lead guitar part. I recorded "The Congressman" between skirmishes but didn't have time to post it. So it looks like I got WAY more done like like 20 minutes than I really did.
-
@stevenwesleyguiles Feb 23
OHM Y GOSH 91 SONGS!!!!!
-
@johncrossman Feb 23
I worked something old and red up yesterday and I wanted to sit on it for a minute. Them then my modem quit and now I must. But it's close, so I'll provide a link when it's closer. 😀
-
@splittybooms Feb 23
Those definitely caught my eye and ear...I have a reggae-ish track in the works that a friend is singing on; and 'Simplify' has a great feel to it already...
The problem is, I can't pull either off vocally myself.
But I think the synth vox might work on Disconnect.
6 more days left, huh? Hmm...I am going to try to do something with one of them...let's see... (i'm both excited and nervous! 😝 ) -
@splittybooms Feb 22
You are a machine!
Looks like you're gonna hit 100!
So I'm going to keep creating until March, and now I am going to be looking through to see if you have something I can try to put music to, if you'd still be ok with me doing so.
I'm limited with what I can do with vocals - I just have my vox synth, and it has trouble with a lot of words coming through clearly, so the simpler the better. -
@gregwere Feb 22
Thanks so much for your kind words about my song. Cheers Greg - I can't believe how many songs you've done in 20 or so days, amazing!
-
@leomozi Feb 22
In case you notice me posting other stuff, I am a little all-over-the-place with songs right now, but I will definitely complete our random collab with your beautiful lyrics before 2/28.
-
@wacha Feb 22
Thanks for the very kind words on "Running Scared" I had a lot of fun writing that one. The really dark ones are the most fun to write.

You've been very busy! Thanks for the listening and commenting. I truly appreciate it.

@unpronounceable Feb 21
Holy crap, you’re prolific! Sorry I hadn’t gotten back to you for our random collab. I should have some time this weekend. Are you lyrics only? If so, do we wanna talk about what to write about, or just send me lyrics, or should I pick one of the songs you’ve already posted? Let me know 😀
-
@leomozi Feb 21
Thanks for your kind words! I really like your writing too! Good variety of themes, mood, and genre.
-
@leomozi Feb 20
I can't think of a topic I'd particularly like right now. Maybe something non-political, because I'm enjoying using FAWM to give myself a break from obsessive news-checking. As for genres, I'm pretty much open; I usually just record demos with vocals and acoustic guitar, but I can play with virtual instruments and synths on GarageBand if that works better for the song. Thanks!
-
@roddy Feb 20
Hi. I finished the music for your song 'Chose the one'. It turned out more funk than rock but I hope you'll like it anyway. Still working on your 'Winds blow through' lyrics.
Here's the link to 'choose the one' https://fawm.org/songs/96053/ -
@wacha Feb 20
Thanks for the feedback on "They're Gonna Vienna". I had added glockenspiel but after playing it for Dori I realized not only was it not needed but it was totally distracting,
-
@leomozi Feb 20
Good morning! I'm excited about our random collab. I don't think I've collaborated on a FAWM song since like 2014, and that's a shame. Let me know if you'd like to write something new or if you'd like for me to put music to lyrics you've already posted.
-
@beesmusic Feb 20
Thank you so much for your kind words about Dance of the Tender Hearted and Keep You Safe. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and respond so thoughtfully. I'm also a little blown away that you've written 76 songs so far! That must be some kind of record!
-
@barbara Feb 20
What an insightful comment on "Not Broken"--probably so!
-
@mmmmarcus Feb 20
Thank you so much for the comments on my last two songs! Very glad to hear you liked them, and the lyrics has been very close to heart (making it natural to sing them with feeling then, I guess, although I always try to connect emotionally to what I sing). Thank you for taking the time! You've had a crazy output on here, congrats to all the songs!
-
@oaksnprairie Feb 20
How do you get up to 76 songs and still have time to listen and comment? Thank you for listening to me!

Hi Elizabeth. I managed to get a bit more time today than I thought and recorded 'Winds Blow Through'. I hope it pleases and thanks for suggesting it. Keep FAWMing!
-
@cynthiawolff Feb 19
Ha ha ..I listened to it and you’re not as bad as you think..
Unique and authentic sound to your voice....
You got some GB skills? Man I envy that...
But it’s all good right?
I’m on the road of continually trying to improve,
Make better songs be a better player learn how to record.. -
