FAWM: "Disconnected"

Disconnected

Liner Notes

Started this one this morning and was pulled away by barking dogs, lunch bells and grocery runs. Wrote another song in between writing luckily, not much to finish off tonight.

This one will need practice but I think it's a fun one.

Lyrics

an old box on a shelf content to sit there by itself Full of cables cords and wires

It was a nuisance there I don't know why you even cared But last spring you threw it out

Now I found my old camcorder The battery is long dead (dead and gone goddamn it) For lack of a cord I'll send it to the heap with all the rest Disconnected

old dusty pickle jar On the workbench near the car Full of nuts and bolts and screws

kid bumped it down All those fasteners went flying all around Swept up, recycled

Now there's a cover falling off My daughter's old beat-up Honda I had the bolt but now it will rattle for all time Disconnected

Kazoo solo

I'm all alone I lost my phone (somewhere goddamn it) Seeing the world For the First time in so long Disconnected

Disconnected

Very nice - I really like your voice. Very evocative mood and lyrics.

Ah good, you've written my biography for me. 😜

Musically, some great Nashville-style singer-songwriter stuff, well performed. Kazoo solo makes me very happy. And it will rouse any audience members who've been distracted with other happenings! "I had the bolt but now it will rattle for all time" is an evocative line. Neat tune!

Sweet this is why we never throw things away - one never knows what even the most beat up of us will be needed. (And I am here for the kazoo solo - now I have put it on my "to do" list, right next to "never throw out my box of cords...)

Cool lyrics! I have drawers full of cables and cords, that I will never again need, but will never throw away regardless. lol

@kayo 2w

I really like the turns of the lyrics here and the ways you show the different kinds of disconnection. Lots of poetry in the quotidian stuff! Nice work 😊

@ruby 2w

The beauty in the ordinary, everyday stuff. A box of junk or a box of treasure? Kazoo skills, love this.

Lovely little number you got here. You have a really swell guitar and vocal combo. Feel like this this could be the soundtrack for a third act in a movie. Good work
