Joanne,
A lovely melody on the chorus and nice sentiment in the lyrics.

We've listened to #1 and #2 and will soon listen to the others. As others have
said, "Great start." Your production work over the last couple of years has really
hit the high bar. Everything sounds so nice on our monitors. And as I've said
before we are in awe of you folks who can write this prolifically. Amazing.

Robert, Sergio, Bud and Janice. Thanks for listening and commenting. I sure am learning a lot! Bud, I have learned that I am maybe not so prolific with lyrics as I am with the music. BIAB is THE most marvelous tool for songwriting, especially the music side. Sometimes I really feel like I am cheating because it is just such a great help. I am finding that if I get a concept and it has some rhymes and it has some story I can make a song out off it pretty quickly. That is why to get going I used some public domain poems that had all these ingredients and also why I am finding the lyrics by Elizabeth Petty so easy to set to music. Enough rambling. Here is song number 6. Another cowrite with Elizabeth. LOVE WE SHARE (A LOVERS LULLABYE) Lyrics: V1 will you pull me in so tight gaze at me in soft moonlight show me that you love me more and more each day will you kiss me goodnight whisper that it is alright hold me like tomorrow may never ever come C yesterday's love is such a gift tomorrow's might not be there and so tonight I want to feel our love.. the love we share V2 I will pull you in so tight gaze at you in soft moonlight show you that I love you more and more each day C yesterday's love is such a gift tomorrow's might not be there and so tonight I want to feel our love.. the love we share B I'm not afraid of loving too much But only that I've loved enough Realtracks: RealTracks in song: ~1121:Bass, Acoustic, CountryWaltz Sw 085 RealTracks in song: ~822:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Country Waltz Sw 085 RealTracks in song: ~824:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Country Waltz Sw 085 MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1) Supermidi country waltz piano (using Dimension Pro) Midi piano and Dimension pro that follows the melody

halfway there!! I quite like this one. Not my usual genre but always good for a change. DECEMBER It is based on the public domain poem "December" by Claude McKay, 1889 - 1948 Last night I heard your voice, mother, The words you sang to me When I a little barefoot girl Knelt down against your knee. As tears rushed from my heart, mother, And passed beyond its wall, But though the fountain reached my throat The drops refused to fall. Last night I heard your voice, mother, The words you sang to me When I, a little barefoot girl, Knelt down against your knee. ‘Tis ten years since you died, mother, Just ten dark years of pain, And oh I only wish that I Could weep just once again. Last night I heard your voice, mother, The words you sang to me When I, a little barefoot girl, Knelt down against your knee Realtracks: RealTracks in style: 2421:Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlapBoomChicka Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: ~598:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~599:Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealDrums in style: TambourineTrainEv16: a: Tambourine b: TambourineTrainEv16

A very fine collection of songs, Joanne.
All well sung and all well mixed. And all with your stamp on them.
Come To Me is my favorite (so far).

Robert, Kenny and Floyd. Thanks for the latest comments. Floyd I just knew which one would be your favourite  Here is one with a guest vocalist. Elizabeth Petty posted these lyrics on the FAWM site and said she could see something "Jazzy and sulty". I loved the lyrics but know my limitations. I said I would love to put music to it but my jazzy and sultry skills are sadly lacking. BUT, I said I know someone who can. So I contacted my old band mate of 20 years ago who lives in Oman and roped her in. Within 24 hours she had come up with the melody and I had two decent vocal records (done on an iphone with no microphone and sent to me via WhatsApp!!). I mixed those iphone recordings in and this is the result. It is certainly different from all my other stuff and I hope you enjoy it. CAN YOU FEEL Lyrics: can you feel....... the temperature rising can you feel....... the ember's red glow can you feel....... the fire spark on my skin... kiss me.... then you'll know.... V2 can you feel........ the ocean waves rising can you feel....... the warm river flow can you feel...... the waterfall coming touch me...... then you'll know.... C kiss me touch me hold me I will love you through this night kiss me touch me hold me I will love you always in this life C can you feel..... our love's magic rising can you feel.... my desire grow can you feel... how much I love you hold me .... then you'll know C kiss me touch me hold me I will love you through this night kiss me touch me hold me I will love you always in this life Realtracks: RealTracks in style: ~2285:Bass, Acoustic, JazzSwingRonA-B Sw 140 RealTracks in style: ~2289:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzSwingKenny Sw 140 RealDrums in Song: JazzSwingLewis^01-a:Brushes, Snare , b:Brushes Swirl, Busy Snare And a midi sax made from the melody line

RichMac and Dani48. Thanks for the latest comments. Rich where ya been? Song number 9: HOOK LINE AND SINKER (with Cynthia Wolff) Cynthia offered me this wonderful set of lyrics and I do hope I have managed to do justice to them. It started out as a folk song but ended up a pop one. Cynthia said about these lyrics: A nod to Marcel Duchamp and Beatrice Wood and the Dadaists of the early 20th Century...a bunch of original Boho's who liked to cross dress and sit around talking, smoking ,drinking and making masterpieces... "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even" is Duchamp's masterprice and can be viewed at The Tate in London Lyrics: Absently sipping absinthe at the Cabaret Voltaire i aspire to cold detachment while you look so debonair... Beatrice flirting in her black beaded dress Marcel on the staircase His lipstick is a mess... You got me…Hook Line and Sinker yeah it was….Hook line and sinker oh yeah You cast a spell and down I fell ah ha…yeah yeah you cast a spell and down i fell ah ha... United by emptiness true confessions we share I got away with nothing as if you really care… Discret Detectives lying in wait we study one another waiting for our fate You got me…Hook Line and Sinker yeah it was….Hook line and sinker oh yeah..Hook line and sinker.You cast a spell and down I fell ah ha…yeah yeah you cast a spell and down i fell ah ha Marcel and Beatrice are really quite the pair gaze at each other and the brides that are stripped bare. Looking for questions cause the answers waiting there… Misjudgement lurking at the bottom of the stair. You got me….hook line and sinker….yeah hook line and sinker…yeah yeah Hook,line,sinker you cast a spell and down I fell ah ha yeah yeah you cast a spell and down I feel ah ha..

Hi Joanne,
I've been popping in every now and then to hear how FAWM is going for you. I'm now listening to "Hook Line and Sinker" as I type. It's terrific.... a great sound, very creative and really well put together. Your singing is excellent. It sounds like you are thoroughly enjoying performing this.
You've certainly got a good collection of material growing.
Regards,
Noel

Hook, Line and Sinker is one fantastic song. I liked everything about this one. Your production work is getting better and better!
Two thumbs up

Joanne,
A very original and interesting lyric and your melody is a great fit. Your vocal chops are sounding back to their best and production nice and simple.
This would make a cool subject for a video.

Noel, thanks for checking back every now and then. I appreciate it. David, what "photo shoot" are you referring too? Thanks for the comment. Mario, thanks for popping it and robert for your ongoing support. It is not unnoticed.
I seem to have hit a bit of a roadblock and dont seem to be able to put music to these lyrics I wrote. They are based on a story told by Sigrid Rausing on Desert Island Discs. I am posting them in the hope that somebody clever can make a folk or country song out of them...sort of in the style of Emmylou Harris or John Denver. Anyone like to have a go?
Heather and juniper
There once was a field
outside my back door
of heather and Juniper
Council decided
to dig all this up
Replacing it with conifers
Chorus/tag line
In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper
One night after dark
My father woke up
He so hated conifers
He took us with him
To dig up the trees
Planted amongst the juniper
In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper
But when I knelt down
To pull up those trees
Hiding in the juniper
with a lump in my throat
I could not complelte
And left alone the conifers
In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper
bridge
Years have gone past and
One breathless day
I went to the see the juniper
And in that field
Stood tall and stood proud
those beautiful old conifers
In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper

December is, indeed, different but most enjoyable.
Hook Line and Sinker struck us as having great vocal
dynamics. Very powerful.
We will catch up on some of the others. You are amazing!

Bud and Janice. Thanks so much for your comments. Here and on Soundcloud Btw... I think you guys are pretty amazing too! Bob, thanks for the comment. Bob has beafed up the lyrics for Heather and Juniper and also written the music. I have a melody in mind, just need to "internalize" it before recording. Here are the next two songs: ONE IN A MILLION (WITH ARTHUR ROSSI) These lyrics were written by the very prolific Arthur Rossi. Arthur has written about 70 sets of lyrics so far this FAWM and about 30 of these have been set to music by various FAWM participants!! An absolutely amazing achievement. If ever you are feeling uninspired during FAWM you can go to Arthur's page and pick a lyric that appeals to you and away you go. Thank you Arthur! Lyrics: when I got lost in this big city, could you supose that you would meet me there in all this mess…? At First it was just bashful glances, and then we knew… (well,) That the chances ` were minute I guess (Chorus) One in a million one in a million almost impossible flash in the pan hopes and wishes just like helium once released Can't be caught again Our Feelings burst just like grenades it seems as if it were decades that we haven’t met… Now it is awkward to accustom, You've gotta wife I’ve a husband, what is it with us…? Chorus bridge You can ask me "what are the chances", Dont ask, you will not like my answers, Chorus * 2 Realtracks: RealTracks in style: 379:Bass, Electric, Country DoubleTime Ev 088 RealTracks in style: 2024:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryJohn Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 378:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming DoubleTime Ev 088 RealTracks in song: 2718:Guitar, Nylon, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 085 RealDrums-TambourineEven8ths

Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
