FAWM: "Away"

Away

Lyrics

Written & Recorded 2/4/2026

Out on your own Hand on stone below Cold as the snow Birds leaving, for they know

They’ll get away Wind only sways so much Watch as they go Fade from our minds to a past life

Sun it may rise Squinting our eyes as we wake Stretch our arms Embrace the warmth as we burn

Try it again Swim up the stream There to source Dream of the love that we’ll feel

This is amazing! Nobody (yourself included) mentioned the time changes from 5/4 to 6/8 (or 3/4) but they're so cool. Kept me listening the whole way, drumming on my lap. Masterful writing as well, some really awesome and vivid lyrics.

Gently contemplative. That guitar figure makes me think of falling snow. Can't think of better advice than "try it again" either. Nicely done.

wow, thank you for your comments and thank you for listening 😄

So warm and calm, love your soft guitar and vocal delivery. Dreamy lyric that could be speaking to a loved one who has passed. I love this.

Thank you for listening and for your comments!

Your song reminded me of how it felt to wake up in a three sided shelter when hiking in the White Mountains. Cool, open aired, expansive. Adore the fingerpicking, a perfect rippling underscore.

I love when I'm listening to songs and they evoke images and and I'm happy mine were able to do that for someone else. Thank you for listening 😀
