"Just look the other way" : FAWM

Just look the other way

6 days ago by @deadhead

Liner Notes

A continuation of the lovingly nicknamed "Jimmy gets cancelled" rock tragedy from last FAWM.

Leading into this stasimon, Jimmy was just kicked out of their community for expressing opinions that others did not like. This choral piece represents the ways the community copes with this harsh event. Eg, by focusing on anything but what just happened.

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1] At least the coffee’s warm It masks the bitter taste The light outside is harsh and bright Just look the other way It's soft and warm, just look the other way

[Interlude]

[Verse 2] The curtain is fading It needs another hue Find a gray to swap it out Improve the room's mood Restore its old beauty to improve the room's mood

[Interlude]

[Verse 3] The last echos have faded The silence is too strong Start the conversation To explain how he is wrong Keep the chatter going, to explain how he is wrong

[Interulde]

[Outro] The feed will drown him out Erase him from this scene The room must stay warm

I'm always insanely impressed with how you can just crank out these rock opera type tracks. Not only that but the musicianship in here. Pacing, chordal, melodic etc. I still need to know when opening night is. What happens to Jimmy next?!

@andygetch 5d

Wow, this one is like a movie!

@ductapeguyTEAM 5d

This all by itself is a movie of the week. The lush harmonies in the choral parts are wonderful. The guitar solos transport me.

@sapient 5d

Wow - this is RICH! What an absolutel delight for the ears - so much going on, yet it never gets too busy oor overwhelming. I do love compositions like this 😀

This is nicely arranged. The piano sounds good and I greatly enjoyed the opening guitaring. But it's choir/voices are a nice touch. The bass came in strong but works well with the story line. I'm enjoying the guitar a lot.

I vaguely remember the idea from FAWM but when you release the project please let us know. Interested.
