FAWM: "The Fool"

The Fool

Liner Notes

Collab w/ my bandmate Soraya (IONNA). She started ad-libbing this chorus and we leaned into 80’s fantasy-pop for the feel. We released the first IONNA record this past October, and in the process, learned how to be a band and collaborate. This was a fun exercise to throw together a pop song from scratch together.

Lyrics

What if I bet, what if I bet everything on you What if I change everything for you Wouldn’t I be every bit the fool What if I bet everything

It was only yesterday You said you were thinking of me I was thinking of you too How effortlessly…

You move, you move me

What if I bet, what if I bet everything on you What if I change everything for you Wouldn’t I be every bit the fool What if I bet everything What if I bet everything

You move, you move me

Up late at the club What if I get messed up Makin’ up for lost time Takin’ a chance What if we fall in love Like it was the first time

What if I bet, what if I bet everything on you What if I change everything for you Wouldn’t I be every bit the fool What if I bet everything

What if I bet, what if I bet everything on you What if I change everything for you Wouldn’t I be every bit the fool What if I bet everything What if I bet everything What if I bet everything

Sparkly blissful sweetness loaded with layers of seamless harmony 🔥🔥 power duo. It took me to different rooms and feelings and I'm here for it!

Dreamy, upbeat and playful! All the makings of a great pop song. 💗

There are many wonderful things about this song. Maybe my favorite aspect: the huge contrast between the super-sweet production (vocals & keys) and the dark / desperate premise. Can't wait to see this one live!!!
