I am a native Irishman living in the Uk for the past 36 years. I am on the last legs of my "paid" working life and will be escaping shortly. Should be able to do a bit this year and am as ever looking forward to meeting some new people, some old friends and some new and interesting collaborations.

Happy to collab in any way you needs, recording engineering mastering, singing, bassisting, music to lyrics, lyrics to music.

Hit me up if I can help in any way and I am always looking for singers who would like to try one of my songs.

I am using Cubase Pro 12 this year instead of Logic pro, pretty impressed so far with the product and the workflow. I got a new vocal microphone as well which sounds pretty awesome.

I am definitely aiming for quality this year so will be carefully choosing lyrics to work with if not working on my own.

Peace to all and very happy and productive FAWMing

On "Give it Back", what were your thoughts?
I'm not sure on what you would do with it...
[avatar]
@squirrelhavenstudios
Thanks for the kind words about "I Hope It's True". I appreciate the listen and comment!

@cindyrella
Thanks!

@chrismyth02
Thanks for checking out Glimpse! I used to sing Muse in the shower - definitely a vocal influence.
[avatar]
@cindyrella
Hey Dave. A songwriter friend of mine asked what all you used in this recording (Graffiti)?
[avatar]
@thomekk
Thank you.
[avatar]
@nadine
Thanks for your comment on "Glimpse" , so glad you enjoyed! Nothing wrong about Muse, I love them!
[avatar]
@scubed
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, especially on “Ireland Knows Your Name” - I deeply appreciate it!

That must have been an amazing motorcycle trip. I’ve been on several stretches of it between Westport and Kinsale - spectacular!
[avatar]
@kahlo2013
Awe, that was so kind of you! I love Marthie’s music and hope she will be able to send you the music for S & S song as your orchestration would be phenomenal!

@arkka
Thanks for the comment!

@nightwing521
Thanks for your comment on "Cardiokleptomania". I agree a wierd word.

However, I believe that there were several other songs on this skirmish (I *know* there was at least one!) with the same title or which at least used the word.

Nice! I just got back into the spitfire BBC orchestra pack last week. They sound great.

@sheslin
Yup I put your link in the liner notes of my version - looks like the same link - I am confused 😕 ??

@farmyardorchestra
Thanks, David, for your Sad Seed comment!

@kahlo2013
Dave and @sherrycanary there is (and has been) a comment that I posted on the actual song link liner notes for your awesome version of the song!
[avatar]
@daveyboy103
@sheslin Look forward to hearing your version. Not heard a thing from @kahlo2013 about this version yet though.
[avatar]
@sheslin
I have to get going on my version before I dare to listen to yours - I have one collab ahead in the queue. Congrats on winning 😀 !!

@didge345
Thank you for your kind comments on Buried in a Pile of Possibilities. Any of us raised by parents who went through the great depression know about this little viewpoint I imagine.
Thanks again.

Congrats on your early WIN!!! Keep writing!

@cindyrella
Yes, I am actually a happy soul! I do seem to pick up other's sadness though. On this one I'm not sure why that movie came to mind. I think too, that I have (what do they call that?) Seasonal something disorder. I've found when it's cold and gloomy out, I write more dark stuff.
[avatar]
@tiias
Thanks you for your comments on ”Puppet master” and nice that you enjoyed the vocals (they are all female and mine, so no gendering needed😅). Nice to hear your music, rock on 💪🏻
[avatar]
@wehappyfew
Hey really pleased you like the vibe of ‘Sleep Will Come To All’! 🙌
[avatar]
@chris_buono
Stoked that you dug the female vocals on "Puppet Master," man! I wanted that title track to stand out in a way unlike all the other stand-out lyrics in song making up this album, and when @tiias took on giving Puppet Master a female power voice in song, I knew it would rock like no other and push further listener thought on the album and Puppet Master. Was so thankful she was able to contribute her time to bring my lyric to life. Thx for stopping by, cking out my lyrics, hearing the song, and leaving your comment! 🤘.

Hi David... thanks for the heads up about my song not coming up properly... I re-posted it, so hopefully that works... I've also listened to some of your songs and can identify with most of them... keep up the great work...

Hey David,
Do you have an MP3 of Afterglow I could have?

@nicetrip
Indeed, I feel almost like a native here: the locals are so open and welcoming, and the Irish nature and culture deeply touch my heart. I couldn't be happier than being here.

Hi Davey, thanks for the comments, plays ok from the site here, so not sure what the problem is??? Carl Sagan, sorely missed.

@jessespillane
I have some Irish in me on my dad's side. Spillane certainly is an Irish name. I've never been to Ireland though. Thanks for your comments as well :)

Thanks for the follow fellow UK FAWMER :)

@mattwdunn
Ireland showed their class in that first 25 mins. We were just leaking penalties for fun. I’m sure Gatland will knock them into shape though 🤞

Hi David, good to see you! Looks like you're off to a super start! Cheers!

I haven’t written anything ‘new’ in a while so I’m like a broken tap at the moment. The songs are just leaking out.

@valeriecox
Hi David. Thanks for your comments on Splintered. Very kind.

I might be able to sing something for you. It just depends on if the lyrics strike a chord with me and I feel like I can make them work. Send me something and we'll see what happens.
[avatar]
@cindyrella
Thanks for your comments on Splintered. Yes, how did she do that with a phone?
[avatar]
@theenglishassassin
Thanks for your kind words. I definitely get and appreciate the Kraftwerk reference. One of the hardest things for me is knowing where my music 'fits' (when it comes to promoting it) so having a band or genre to hang it on is super helpful. Cheers!
[avatar]
@crisp1
Yeah, the piano's amazing and I especially love the little guitar solo after the first chorus. You're the bomb!
[avatar]
@cindyrella
I can't wait to hear it!
[avatar]
@mattwdunn
I’ll check it out. Some of these more tender tracks could use some strings I think
[avatar]
@katestantonsings
We definitely need to collab sometime...I'm purposely trying to take it more easy this time as I had major surgery late last year and am still playing catch up at work & home!! Can I get back to you later on in the month? I'm loving the celtic and dreamy vibes! Perhaps we can do something like that soon :) You're rocking this FAWM though, man!!!

Lol my pitbull, Macho is a sweet boy lol he was trying to console me

I can't wait to hear it! Thanks so much!
[avatar]
@billwhite51
would you like to do something with this lyric?
ECHOES

When the word ties you to another
All else is echoes

doing nothing
being nobody
the pure joy
of existance
the unity of unity
a persistance of vision
without dividing
the division

echoes
of history unwritten
the living
speaking to the unborn
the unborn
speaking to the dead
echoes
of life, like food,
consumed
then finished

sometimes the echo
precedes the shout
sometimes it comes
by the opposite route
we did not
ignite this flame
the war was here
before we came

and now we are tied
to another war
echos of which
have come before

but when the word
ties us to another
previous echoes
are torn asunder
[avatar]
@johns
Yes, you're probably right.

Oh, well done - living the dream then (hopefully)! Looking forward to listening to what you've got.

@brisk
Glad you liked Clissold Park - and blimey - you're at 3 already??
[avatar]
@jorh
Sorry I should have probably clarified in my liner notes that it wasn’t written from personal experience. I unfortunately know people who’ve been through this, so this ones for them, and I hope we both did it justice 🤞thanks for the collab, hopefully we get to do it again soon 😀
[avatar]
@jorh
Wow that was quick! The song far exceeds anything i was expecting - i love the classic, elegant arrangement with the keys and guitar, and the raw emotion in your vocal. I particularly like your additions at the end of each line in the verses, and the layering of the vocals. That guitar instrumental at the end of the first verse is fantastic too - it encapsulates grief and the passing of time so well. Thank you for setting it to music - looking forward to hearing your other songs, you’re on 🔥 so far.
[avatar]
@saxylizbeth
Hey! Thanks for the follow. UK Fawm is usually pretty busy, I think it's just the password things have messed up a little. Look forward to listening to what you have to say :)
[avatar]
@sheslin
LOL re the the 5th interval jump. I had to do-re-mi to figure out which interval it was! Super effective in your melody and it really stood out in a good way 😀
[avatar]
@jorh
Fab, sounds perfect!
[avatar]
@jorh
Hey,
Yeah if you like that one more than happy for you to take it - also feel free to make edits to lyric as I know they don’t always fit perfectly with the music. However if you’d prefer something different let me know as I’m always happy to write something specific for our collab 😀
[avatar]
@johns
Yes, go ahead David, look forward to seeing what you can do with the words.
[avatar]
@coolparadiso
no we have listened a lot chatted on the show but collab i am pretty sure not. okay we should for sure - would you like a lyric or what would you like me to do
[avatar]
@skylermf
Makes sense! I’m in Eastern so it’s seven hours or so ahead here - even so, really impressed with the mix!
[avatar]
@jorh
Yep lyrics would be preferable haha as i'm inept at playing any musical instrument!! When i've collabed before I usually write the lyrics and send over, or someone picks an existing lyrics - does this sound ok? Are there any particular themes / styles you want me to try write to :) Also hope you have a great FAWM!
[avatar]
@geoff61
OK, cool :-)
