Liner Notes

Heya FAWM friends! Thanks for listening.

This is just a therapeutic "note to self" song to remember not contribute to the dumpster fire of the world. I started with lyrics and melody and kinda heard a funky band with horns playing in my head. Thought the Double Flange guitar effect in Logic ProX was fun. Just added a Logic ProX drummer and MIDI bass and horns for funsies.

GO FAWM!!!!!

Lyrics

Gonna mix it up Ride a new groove. It’s a brand new day with a fresh new mood gonna sing with the sparrows Dance with my muse In a top hat and a Technicolor suit. If they stare I don’t give a damn if they want to join in? I’ll reach out my hand We’ll march the streets like a circus band spreading love and light all over the land

CHORUS I won’t live in darkness, gonna be gonna be the light. x 4

you’re sipping your coffee And you hear us shout peek out the door And see what it's about G-go on drop what what you’re doing And come on out We’ll show you how to get up To get on down

Repeat chorus

Bridge If they wanna call it a fight Let them come Be the daisy in the barrel of their pointless guns

Wow! Such a different direction for you! Super funky and groove-able. Disco that's got a message!

@damschen 6d

Groovy! Love that you are fighting darkness with light! That last line of the bridge makes me imagine a Looney Tunes cartoon where the barrel of the gun curves down and flowers come out. Great imagery.

@clo 1w

Groovy fun way to make great points or commentary. Great images, especially the daisy in the barrel!

@linl77 1w

I love this! So catchy! Beautiful! Love the layered lyrics at the end!

@bethkille 1w

Thank you so much!

@jramonewi 2w

Super fun! I think maybe you've inspired me to attempt a dance type song. I'm basically Justin Timberlake if he wasn't as handsome or rich!

@bethkille 1w

OMG - I was just saying the other day how much you remind me of JT!

@hbusse 2w

Groovy and fun, Beth. Love how you punch the “technicolor suit” line in V1! And that daisy in the barrel line, love the image 😊

@bethkille 1w

Thanks Hanna! Can't wait to check out your tunes!

@aaronnathans 2w

Great bridge and wonderful call to optimism and bringing joy to this world. The funky upbeat feel is perfect! Could vocal delivery of that catchy chorus. Love the bass and this horns shine!

@bethkille 2w

You’re always so kind Liz!

@mikegtz 2w

The chorus is totally great and the icing on the cake of yet another great Beth Kille song. I like the orchestration in particular.

@bethkille 2w

Thanks my friend! Excited to check out your tunes this year!

@ndavies 2w

Very catchy! I loved the octave part on "Technicolor suit"

@bethkille 1w

Gotta have a litte fun sometimes :)

@paulmilne 2w

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Very inspiring groove for one of my songs, thanks for making my day. Upbeat but determined. I like it, good work!

@bethkille 1w

Thanks for the kind words!

@casijohnson 2w

A very groovy disco feel...with heartfelt lyrics. Another great song from someone I find so inspiring!

@markblevis 2w

Great groove and important lyrics. This has a Flashdance/Fame meets Men at Work vibe. That's in the pocket of my formative years right there.

@bethkille 1w

Ha! Totally my formative years too!!
