This year I made it my goal to compose music only. I normally go more vocal heavy. I will do a few vocals later as I have told some of the FAWM folks I would collab with those that write lyrics only and set their words to music. So far though just my own. I am playing the piano on Garden Walk and Clarity (Note on clarity after playing the piano I then took it into Reason and started playing with instrument voices until I found something that I felt like fit in the albums flow so far. Angels bow I programmed into Reason. So far I have not used BIAB, but I will when I begin putting the others songs to music. As always I Appreciate any feedback!

Hi Robert.

You've been an amazing supporter of FAWM over the years. Your ability to compose so much in such a short time frame is incredibly impressive. You're certainly off to a flying a start in 2015 with these!

All the best,
Noel

Hi PGFantastic,

Some lovely tunes there. My favourite was probably Angels Bow.

Wow, I just looked into FAWM and saw the goal - 14 songs in 28 days! I think I need a rest just thinking about it, lol.

Hi Robert,

enjoyable listens. Like Receder I get dizzy just thinking of of a marathon of 14 songs in 28 days.
Good luck!

Good concept for this FAWM. I'll have to go over and leave some comments here and there at FAWM. I haven't been using BIAB for awhile, but i did do my FAWM #3 song with the help of BIAB.

FAWM is a cool place to be!

Robert,

I enjoyed listening to "One Day Off". I can understand why your getting so many requests for you to sing songs as your singing is nice.

Of the instrumentals you've written, Clarity is my favorite so far. All of them are nice but for some reason Clarity just sticks out above the rest to me.

You FAWMers are amazing. I'd be HARD pressed
to write that many in a year.

Enjoyed them and best to you for the rest of the period.

Hats off to you Robert. You're going to get some good stuff out of this. I love the opening chord progression and the opening lines to the last one - We've Got A Long Ride Home. "...headlights painting yellow lines..." and what a relatable hook.

Don't they do something like this in the summer too or at some other time of year where you write a bunch of songs in a specific period?
