Fool's Gold

Liner Notes
This song was written for the #CommentsFirst challenge: https://fawm.org/forums/3649- Banjo, synth, vocal, uke/clap percussion, windchimes... I used all the comments, at least gave them a try, although I would not say it is a suitable drum kit, it works ok for the perc on this track. I LOVED doing this challenge, it was a wonderful distraction to this crazy world today, THANK YOU TO my commenters!!! Here are the comments- comment on "Fool's Gold" @marilisa That repeated banjo riff really is something!
comment on "Fool's Gold" @theflyingcelery Why did I waste all that money on a drum kit??! I had no idea you could build a whole rhythm track with just hand clapping and knocking on your uke!! Mind blown.
comment on "Fool's Gold" @savvyaz I love the inclusion of the wind chimes in there! How unique!
comment on "Fool's Gold" @joshalmond 19h That's some far out synthesizer you have there! And is that is 3/4 or 5/8 ?
Lyrics
Fool’s Gold
It shines like the real thing Like when you hear the angels sing. Just when you think you’ve won it all That’s when you start the fall
Fools gold Story told What to do with the grief you hold Fools gold Hard and cold Can’t buy back the soul you sold
Your head is high your spirit low Your feet don’t know which way to go It looks so clean it looks so fine That metal with it’s bogus shine
Fools gold Story told What to do with the grief you hold Fools gold Hard and cold Can’t buy back the soul you sold
I’m a fool you’re a fool Living on this big round school Look real close and you might find The treasure is in being kind

That is one of my favorite challenges thank you. I’m really happy with it!
This is really quite beautiful and unique! I enjoyed it very much 😍
thank you!!!
Yeah banjo unity plunking in the background. The synth rhythm that kicks in 3/4 of the way through is fun. Interesting juxtaposition of both a weary and playful sound.
thank you, I had so much fun putting this one together
You did great with these comments! It sounds so cool! I really love the lyric Can’t buy back the soul you sold.
Thank you!
This challenge is so fun. So many uniquely wonderful songs that wouldn't exist otherwise. Nicely done, I enjoyed it and the lyrics too 😀
