Liner Notes

#10x10 #25x25 #brillbuilding #lovesong #28wordslater #capochallenge #trope #guywithguitar #acoustic #pop 25 x 25-second brill building love songs in one track. https://fawm.org/forums/3606 I was aiming for a 50's -60's Brill Building sound mixed with my own style. All sweet 'boy meets girl' and love songs. Plus I wanted many doo whap's and sha la la's. 😄 Why 25-Second Songs? Well, I've done 5-sec, 10-sec, 15-sec and 20-second songs during previous FAWMs, so I raise the bar every year. https://website.beacons.ai/maxvanremmerden/websites/live/bf399778-73b1-46cf-993d-4d9d53295e71 I know it's a lot to ask to listen to this track in its entirety. No problem at all if you only listen to a small part and don't leave any comments; I completely understand.

Brill Building got my eye... interesting group of short songs... I've read a lot about that creative groupings of people...mctown

@kahlo2013 20h

Absolutely great! Fantastic variety and great sound! I love the 50-60s styles and all the love and sweetness! You nailed it!!!! Made me smile!

@spirulence 1d

Wow, all these challenges together! Swaying in my seat here. Your patience to knock these all out is pretty impressive.

@mckillop 2d

What a smorgasbord @max ! Loved them all - you have a huge vein of song gold to mine! Also loved the stylized video, very cool! Great pop tunes!

@caitlin 2d

I love this to the max, Max! I have it on while I do some tedious tasks working from home today and I love all the catchy shoo-bops and doo-wops and ring-a-dings woven throughout. I feel transported back to a 1960s sitcom with each episode bringing a huge smile to my face.

@songbird63 2d

I just LOVE this Max. So many stories. Very very very inspiring. 25-stars review. Writing this comment while your songs float by brings a big smile on my face. Every 25th second is a cliffhanger! It's ike a good old 'dia-evening' with slides fo forgotten holidays. "Not so quick, can you show the previous one again?" Btw: I listened until the end and will play it again one of these FAWN days.

@harsmuse 2d

Very Impressive and a cool idea! Lots of nuggets there for other songs if you chose, though it doesn't sound like you're lacking in ideas. Thanks!

@kkd 2d

A journey of love! This captures so many parts of the journey. Love the vibe, your voice and the guitar. So many pictures in this.

@alicelimoges 2d

Whooooa what an amazing concept! I’ve never seen anything like this. Every single one is a bop. So precious. I love the 50s/60s vibe you chose. I liked the strawberry shake one. I can just imagine the lovebirds in their poodle skirts and rolled up sleeves.

@gardeningangel 2d

Feels like one of those late-night infomercials for golden oldies compilations that only plays a snippet of each song... in this case, a double-disc set. Sign me up TAKE MY MONEY 💰!!! I wasn't familiar with the Brill Building so had to read up. That was a fun little history lesson. Perfect inspiration for the challenge, cranking out the hits. I think "Button Baby" was my favorite but they're all little sparks of brilliance. I'm seriously impressed, this is a double-FAWM win and then some (love that bonus track!) 🏆🏆

@wacha 3d

This is fantastic, I loved the Brill Building feel that you achieved with this. That's a whole lot of short songs to write and weave together and you did it quite well, nice work!

@froggymagee 3d

I just love, love, love your vocal delivery! The way the energy shifts in different sections is like a musical roller coaster!

@rogerhammond 3d

This one has so much Maxness in it that it's hard to know where to start on it. Jam-packed with sweet melodies and catchy rhythms. I think it deserves a longer review but for now I'll just say that it's brilliant and I can't pick out a favourite. A lot of your influences come through in the snippets. I expected to see the late 70s and early 80s but there's a lot from the 50s doowop and 60s in there too. And nice to see some fingerpicking in there... and you're name is surprisingly rhythmic too ;)
