Lyrics

Melt Away

You move like you love me Don’t you baby You give like you almost really really need me

Sequins and rubies Create beauty You give like you almost really really love me

(But) when I try to hold you You turn away All the diamonds that you gave me Melt away

You brag all about me Don’t you baby It seems like you almost really really own me

The cage where you keep me Is always lonely It seems like you almost really really own me

(But) when I try to hold you You turn away All the diamonds that you gave me Melt away

Smudge you have done it again with those vocals. Nice EDM groove. "The cage where you keep me Is always lonely It seems like you almost really really own me'....deep lyrics here!

@smudge 1w

Thanks for noticing these details :)

Hi @smudge, I really enjoyed this; terrific melody, for starters, and. your vocals are so pure and spot on pitch. I was thinking of The Pretenders!

@smudge 1w

Thank you so much @mckillop

@strumandstress 2w

Great vocal, great groove, very enjoyable

@smudge 2w

Thanks a lot @strumandstress

Here's just another example of how amazing the musicians of fawm are. One hour, a prompt and boom... a song.

When your voice came in I was reminded of Aimee Mann of Til Tuesday fame.

Really well done, Smudgie. Amazing actually.

@smudge 2w

Ah thanks so much for your kind words and for listening Wren! I hope you are enjoying FAWM! :)

@kayo 2w

I really like the juxtaposition of the dancey beat with the mourning nature of the lyrics. Great song, nice work!

@smudge 2w

Thanks very much! @kayo

@cathreu 2w

funky, but in like a soaring/floating way. Love it!

@smudge 2w

Thanks a lot @cathreu

@nwhosings 2w

Such a cool floating melody over that dance beat! The evolution of the 'really really' phrases tells a clear story, and it's so condensed.

@smudge 2w

Thanks so much @nwhosings

@corinnecurcio 2w

This is very cool, the arrangement especially Love the song and your voice.

@smudge 2w

Thanks @corinnecurcio Appreciate it!

@johnstaples 2w

Damn, this is really beautiful! Your voice is awesome and the melody you've created is stellar! I am really digging that indie pop vibe! Your lyrics are spot on for this style and tell this story so well. And, did I mention how in love I am with your voice yet? Well, I am! And this is an excellent song!!!

@smudge 2w

Thank you very much @johnstaples
