I really like this. The lyrics are super relatable and the bass is lovely. There’s a sense of self acceptance here which is really nice considering the subject matter and the potential to become self deprecating. Well done.

I love the "I'm falling apart"/"the world is falling apart" overlay - and you do it so elegantly with spare language. Verse 4 is my absolute favorite - a knot of tangled threads/where do i begin/dignity in shreds/sense in a spin. I love all of the tactile/textile-related images that you assign to your internal state.

Wobbie!! I was not prepared! I know comedy is your usual thing so I was expecting something in that vein, but this is so emotional and real. I looove all the bass sounds and the sense of tension and, yeah, on the edge of falling apart but staying together so beautifully! I love the lyrics, I think they're perfect and relatable and are simple but so effectively express the struggle of it all. I really love this a lot! Thanks for pushing through and finishing it!

i’m sure it’s already been said, but i love that all the (non-vocal) sounds — from melody to drone to percussion — came from your larger-than-life instrument, a really great take on the challenge. "try to pull myself together / as the world falls apart” — i feel this line, for sure.

Lovely singing here Wobbie. Nice to hear your bass. and all that unsettling fiddling about adds to the suspense.

I can relate to this as I've got a mess in the storage room, a mess in the closet, and a mess behind me (thankfully covered from the zoom view). Plus all the other messes in earshot. Liking the double bass and gentle vocal on this.

This is my favorite of the all about that bass challenge. I like the variety of textures in the sounds you discovered. The pensive lyric works with the ever present scratching/bowing(?) of the strings.

I have a long life of living with untidy people, and I am guilty too - There is such a stigma - I keep friends and neigbours outside so they never see the truth. I love that you are expressing the there is nothing wrong with it, its just part of the human condition. I enjoy your plainspoken style and this song is no exception. I think everyone in FAWM is searching for their style - your is out there and shining bright

Wobbie - that first bit seems to come from a capsule deep in space, then that gentle sweet sung lyric - that feels like the I want statement song in the first act of a musical. So much beauty in the middle of this mess we call the world.

Ah the double bass...love hearing that Wobbie. I like the spoken word intro and then its leads into a mournful lament about your mess, metaphorically speaking. We all love you like you are Wobbie!!!

whoa..... great layering of bass effects smooth crunchy and grunge, so moody and almost cool jazz... and of course words that fit so well...

This is great, from the intro to the ominous build up to the sweet lyrics. The spoken word is mysterious, but then we get a friendly giant bass and a friendly voice asking for just... understanding. It's lovely, I love how it turned out, how all the different parts come and go.

I like the break. Love the rawness that is your lyrics. Great chorus and production!

This is brilliant. "Might take me forever cos I don't know where to start" is the story of my life...nice job giving shape to these thoughts with your inventive bass parts! Really cool track!

Yup a great motto I reckon! Take me as you find me. I’m pretty scruffy a lot of the time as well in what I do. Good thing is I mean it! Good lyric and a very nice delivery! Love your double bass!

That intro is awesome. And acoustic bass :-) :-). I think we can all feel the mess right now. Let hope we can ll pull the eorld together together. sigh. Like the trippy hippy melody bass.

I like the dark atmosphere. Sounds like one of these cutscenes from movies...

"I don't know where it came from: it just exploded" haha, that explains everything. Original instrumentation for sure, and definitely says "clutter" even without the more than relatable message.

Trippy and inspiring. The cluttered soundscape has space in it. Maybe it's the reverb? And the jagged cello/bass ...and the rhythmic boom... it's all quite unsettling but it keeps you hooked. It's like taking a peek inside a mind troubled by chaos.

i love the basses. they are not untidy at all, yet the way the vocals are placed in the arrangement emphasizes the theme of messiness

This is the first time I have felt personally attacked by a FAWM song 😆

That aside, I really appreciated the music, lyrics and mournful vocals. The spoken word at the start really did sound like a disaster report. Then the sparing vocals that were like someone gently collapsing into a pile of laundry, but poetically. Choosing just bass for a lead instrument was inspired! But the thing I liked most was how the scratchy, buzzing strings made me feel the endless discomfort of knowing there's stuff I should be tidying and how it keeps nipping at the back of my mind. I'm trying not to look at my livvy, currently.

Love that spooky, dark intro and the double bass is a lovely touch. The minimalist backing really works well with these lyrics. Great job as ever Wobbie!

A double Double Bass? The song's structure makes me want to join in and untangle; the whole piece has a magnetic pull. It completely lives up to the #allaboutthebass challenge. Great listen.

I find you a superb tunesmith on this. Percussion on the edge of chaos, but reliable throughout. That lovely growly drony bowed bass is like a drug.

"a knot of tangled threads where do i begin dignity in shreds senses in a spin" That's more relatable – and perhaps more universal – than anyone might suspect.
