FAWM: "Leaving"

Leaving

Liner Notes

Okay, no more 6/8 for a while. And no more sad.. or at least not without some rocking backtracks. This is getting depressing.

Weapons: Firefly Acoustic Guitar Squire Jaguar Bass Superlux S241 small diaphragm condenser

Lyrics

I don't want to be here I don't want to see you cry I don't want to be here As you say goodbye

I wish I could help you I don't know what to say Wish I could make everything okay

I don't want to tell you I don't want you to make believe I don't want to tell you That it's time to leave

I wish I could help you I don't know what to say Wish I could make everything okay

I really like your vocal on this. The music is perfect for the message, and the whole thing just works! Good job!

Relatable song at one time or another, for many of us I imagine. Excellent lyrics. I really like: "I don't want you to make believe." Very nice.

@spotlightkid 1d

I like this very much. You sound a bit like Toad the Wet Sprocket here, dontchathink?

@spirulence 1d

Straight up delivery. Nice economy of words to put it all together. Tasty guitar and bass. Challenge fulfilled.

Great stuff. Very heartfelt, and awesome vocals here. The 6/8 really works for the track so don't stop just for the sake of it!

6/8 is just the best, can't beat a double waltz! I've been stuck writing in 3/4 for most of the time this week, in dire need of trying to get away from that, haha! Anyways, your song is beautiful and melancholy, but that guitar riff is so uplifting, wonderful!

Hey TC! Every time I hit your stuff during FAWM, I'm blown away by the fact that you're doing literally everything and making it sound like a top notch live band. This has a bit of a Skynard vibe to me, which I'm very much there for. The words are disarmingly simple - the repetition is the thing that really makes them work, for me anyway. 'Wish I could make everything okay'.... well, that is kinda sad man ;)
