Lyrics

Did you hear about Lewis? Sounds like he bought it. I hope that he got everything he wanted.

Say, how did he do it? I bet the house is still haunted. Let’s finish all those paintings that he started

You never really know, do ya? You never really know

They’ll talk about him on Sunday He’ll get a cut from collection They’ll wonder how to circumvent the next one

They won’t mention the sad part They’ll call it a celebration And they’ll complement the flower arrangements

You never really know, do ya? You never really know

Great stuff. Original sound and feel. Seems you are crushing your FAWMling experience. Love seeing that. Pure joy to listen...Gonna listen to another one of yours right now...

[pic]

Love this. Your chord progressions are so satisfying and unexpected, as are the variations in your guitar playing. The lyrics tell a story without giving too much away. And that's all before we get to your vocals. Just a great song all around.

Love this one too. Lewis is… fictional? The storytelling is so spare but evocative, feels like there’s a whole world behind the lines. And then you deliver it with such manic energy and cool chord choices, that the song just hums. Great bookending with the dissonant picking. Poor guy indeed.

Whoah such cool clever lyrics- dark but also not! Well done!

RIP Lewis. This is amazing. Your songs are all absolutely blowing me away today. If this song wasn't already done this could easily be built out to an absolute banger!!!

[pic]

Hell yeah, this utterly rocks!! The amazing bluesy jazzy chords, the gritty vocal delivery, the fact this was done in one go, what an absolute banger! I loved it start to finish.

[pic]

Thank you!! That means a lot 🙏

[pic]

Oooh! Love this! Such a powerful performance, you carry so much emotion and keep interest with just that guitar and vocals.

[pic]

Thank you, that's so kind!!

[pic]

Love the dissidents in the chords man. So cool and unique really top tier stuff! Keep it up!

[pic]

Cool tune. Gritty and pretty. Good combo.

[pic]

Hahaha an amazing complement, thank you!

[pic]

This goes my dude! Love the transition from this dom chords to the major7-y angelic change. Kinda has a like gypsy jazz pompe meets blues meets punk with a pop sensibility thrown in too. Great song great performance

[pic]

I love a genre salad 😁 thanks so much!

[pic]

Fantastic performance and I'm always a sucker for that secondary dominant change. Great stuff!

[pic]

Awesome song. The melody is so good and I like the contrast in dynamics. Great work

[pic]

Thanks! I hope I'll hear more from you soon, your first track was killer!

[pic]

This is awesome! I love the juxtaposition of strong pop melody with weird dissonant chords.

[pic]

Thank you! I've been really enjoying what you're putting up for FAWM!

Arrived via the random button and am glad I did. Great vocal melodies and your enthusiasm shines through. A really terrific song. Following for more.

The random button is the true hero of FAWM. Thank you!!!

Really enjoyed this. The acoustic performance has great energy and dynamic movement, and the vocal melody keeps things interesting with some strong shifts along the way. Lovely chord choices too, and your voice really shines, especially on the higher notes.

[pic]

Thank you for the encouragement!

[pic]

Cool lyrics and beautiful chird changes!

@mhol

This is a great haunting track

[pic]

Thank you. It's a hard thing to write about, I'm glad that came across

[pic]

Really like the energy in the guitar and your voice... which has a ton of gritty verve. The jazzy chords and the raw quality tp it all off. Intriguing lyrics too. Nice.

[pic]

Really like the guitar work! The bouncy jaunty tune really contrasts the lyrics!

Thanks so much!!
