Liner Notes
beebeesmith says: The music and lyrical melody was written by myself along with a smattering of lyrics and a lot of humming to demonstrate a lyrical melody idea. I then sent the whole recording to @greengrassgirl who is a master lyricist and she did her normal magic. As I can not sing to a level that I would impose on others I recreated my vocal by singing @greengrassgirl lyrics into an Ai program and then edited the now female vocal by removing artefacts and blemishes as best that I could in Logic Pro. DAW. As Ai is increasingly a part of our lives I tried out one of the many software programs to make an accompanying video. I am a firm believer that an accompanying visual illustration to a song enhances and emphasises the listening pleasure and so here we are as amateurs able to add that element at a standard that is at least now presentable but far from perfect. . 😂 Hope that you enjoy and approve.
@greengrassgirl says: I am always so flattered when @beebeesmith shares his music with me and invites me to write lyrics for his songs. I think this track is absolutely gorgeous, and the words almost wrote themselves. I just followed the music and the way it made me feel. I love the way he put the video together to match the message of the song.
Lyrics
I Know A Little Bit © Patty Lakamp 2026 (Revised)
I know a little bit About our love Where we came from What we have become Over time
And I know a little bit About our life The way we tend the fire Devotion in your eyes Matching mine
That’s how we are One guiding star Finding it all in each other
Holding on tight We got it right Safe in our endless summer Endless summer
And I know a little bit About our love Our moments in the sun The miracles that play on One by one
And I know a little bit About our life Hidden inner fire Passion in our eyes Yours and mine
And here we stand The two of us With a different plan Than what we imagined once We go the way that is right for us We’re still us two Our hearts just the same
So I know a little bit About our love Where we came from What we have become Over time
And I know a little bit About our hearts They know what they know Where we like to go And that is home
They know what they know Where they like to go That’s home
The place we like to go The little bit we know As home

Thanks, John. Glad you liked it.
Nice chord progressions and great lyrics for a love song. Perfect for Valentine's day! Good collab guys!
Thanks, Paul. Really glad to see you here at FAWM, and so pleased you liked this collab. It was great working with @beebeesmith.
Just lovely, The repetition of “I know a little bit” is really effective and feels grounded and intimate. The melody and piano create such a calm, steady emotional space. I'm curious what program you used for the video.
Hi , the program is Neural Frames a German company. It seemed to offer what I required compared to others but it was all sort of alien so there could be better options. Please advise if you research and find something else to consider. Good luck. Beebee
Another well penned love story . The soft piano is a great mood setter and is perfect for this sentiment .
Very nice lyric.... D
Beautiful lyrics. Such a great classic love song. There is definitely part of me that's wanting to hear the original vocal, warts and all... there's something much more visceral and moving about human voices.
Hi, I understand what you are saying as the Ai vocal is so pure, on the line with every note and a human voice can’t actually achieve that, close but still off, so that is what we are used to, we embrace those human imperfections as the norm. I guess some people have a greater tolerance of certain imperfections but I just cannot gain any satisfaction, any listening pleasure when confronted with a vocal which is bland, tuneless, lifeless and potentially not within the normal acceptable limits of a tuneful vocal. The above describes my vocal, so no sorry I could not, will not inflict on others which I must endure for myself, ha ha
Thanks, Dani. So glad you appreciated our song. You're right that an AI vocal is often has a slightly different character than the human voice. I suppose that will change in time as it gets even better at learning from all of us. It's an interesting era we live in. Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment.
I like the hypnotic repetition of ‘I know a little bit’ and how you test different aspects of the relationship - lovely sentiments throughout this lyric. The melody settles really well with the words - really nice write
Oh, thank you. I liked that aspect of the music, too, and that's what made it a pretty fast write. I see from your page that you often have that same experience.
Absolutely Beautiful.
Perfectly legitimate use of AI for vocals, in my opinion. As my voice fades, I'm looking into programs that might help duplicate it one day--Audimee, for instance. Great lyrics, great composition--really nice collaboration! ❤️
wow- very moving song. Had me at the first line. I love the lyrics and the melody. Hard to believe those were written by two different people. I have mixed feelings about the ai but it does certainly kick it up a notch having great vocals and visuals. Hoping if you decided to record it, that you would still hire a human to sing about human emotions. But this works very well as a demo.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to have a listen and comment. Very rewarding considering how deeply any Ai content can be received and rejected. I can’t sing so up until now hired a vocalist, I haven’t saved much cash though as I have now invested in Ai video content, worth it I thought. Thanks again from myself and @greengrassgirl 👍
This sounds so good that it could be from a film soundtrack or on the radio...bravo! 👏👏👏
Thank you, Gwyn! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the song. I know how busy things get during FAWM, so I really appreciate that you took the time to let me know your impressions. If I come up with a lyric I think you might like, I'll be knocking on your door. (You don't have to answer the door!) 😀
Emotionally rich and beautiful. I love the vocal melody singing "guiding star". Nostalgic and lovely!! Well-written.
Kate, this means a lot, especially coming from you. Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment.
The lyrics and melody are beautiful. It is a sweet, emotional love song.
Such a pretty melody, and some lovely lyrics to match! I love the use of repetition throughout the song of "I know a little bit / about our love/life/hearts", all culminating in what our hearts know as "home". Great collab!
@cola, thank you so much for your comments. I so admire your songs, that I hoped you would find this one and like it. Thanks! I just loved writing to @beebeesmith's music. It was almost easy.
Good job y'all.
Hi, Andy, I'm so flattered that you enjoyed "I Know A Little Bit." Working with @beebeesmith was great. He sent me the music, and the words just sort of fell into place. Sort of like a "connect-the-dots" puzzle. And then he made the video, which is way beyond my pay grade, Glad you liked the song and took the time to let us know.
Just simply wonderful. You two are made to collaborate with each other. You took me on a wonderful venture through the well crafted, personal, sensual lyrics matched to just as strong melody and production. Made me want to hug you both. Great offering.
Great music and lyrics, but I'm avoiding any AI stuff.
Hello, it's such an interesting way to work that has resulted in a very beautiful song. I'l continue to drop by to follow your FAWM journey and to hear new compositions. There are some lovely changes in melody and harmony to support the fine lyrics. It's a great title too "I know a little bit". It's humble yet assertive at the same time. Paul
Wow...That was impactful. Not entirely sure how I feel about AI (maybe a little freaked out...) but that was a pretty darn cool experience. Top shelf lyrics and thoroughly entertaining.
Very strong lyrics and I do like the melody and chord structure.
Ahhh @greengrassgirl is at it again!! Creating lyrical perfection! The melody is beautiful and honestly so impressed that you figured out how to use AI to make this! Great job you guys!
Vocal is so rich and powerful. I feel taken care of in your tone and songwriting <3
Appreciate the openess about the use of AI, I think you have prompted it well and the video and vocals suit the song. The song had an ease to it. Lovely work!
Gorgeous. It sent me into some kind of a beautiful trance and when it was over I nearly wept. I don't think I care how it came to life.
Oh, Jeff! What a wonderful comment on a song that means so much to me. Thank you!
Hi Jeff, thank you for your kind comments they always have the feeling of sincerity. I will empathise the melodies and music are human but to be fair from the music side the Ai vocal made the song. The lyrics are a separate entity and as usual @greengrassgirl just waves her wand and they sort of appear by magic.
Lovely song and great lyrics. Always a bit uncomfortable with Ai , butI’m happy to just Iisten . Great Collaboration !
Cool track and video, very nice words @greengrassgirl. Love the vocal Performance too
Beautiful lyrics, the way the melody is paced to let those lyrics breathe is quite brilliant! Also, what a very cool journey you took me on through the video.
Well this is just effing gorgeous! Good on you and @greengrassgirl for this collab and the excellent use the the dreaded AI.
We have so many tools at our disposal - good use of them to create a really nice song here - the vocals deliver the promise of the lyrics.
This production is top notch. And the singing and lyrics are wonderful! Great work!
Gorgeous
A beautiful combination of melody and lyrics. Love the sound and the relaxed pace.
Really appreciate this use of AI. Collaborative as opposed to "cop-out." At least you modeled the melody with your own voice. At that point it's like selling a song to a singer and them singing it. Was an enjoyable video to watch as well. At first I though, "How did they record a music video already?" :) Some really special moments in this song.
What a great collaboration! Lovely lyrics and gorgeous vocals. The repetition of "I know a little bit" is so powerful - you've made this song specific and universal at the same time.
Erin, thank you so much for your lovely comments. So glad you enjoyed our collab. I wrote the lyrics to Beebee’s music and it affected me so much, the words just flowedl Like you, I was impresed by the music video. Something like that is way above my pay grade, but he seems to think it’s rather easy. :)
These lyrics are so touching. This is such a beautiful song about an enduring love with a history, and tying that to the concept of being home to each other is so lovely. I love melody of the verses - the perfect marriage of words and melody to my ears. The space between "a little bit" and "love" adds a tiny bit of tension - waiting for what is known. Nice collab - and great to see you back Patty!!
superb ballad, chord changes very good, lyrics nailing it! Great collab
