Thank you for your comment on Rats in Heaven. And I love your cowgirl profile pic. Happy writing!

Would be happy to have you be a lyricist in the Harmony Singers Challenge in the future. I'll probably run it in 50/90 later this year and definitely FAWM 2024.

It’s fun to figure out what you like writing. I started with mor prosey lines and had to work to move towards punchier and more rhythmic. Neat that you are starting from that end of things. A lot easier to find music that way.

I was able to upload the recording of "I'm Not Afraid of the Dark." Thanks so much for the collab!

I have a recording made of "I'm Not Afraid of the Dark." If you can add me as a collaborator to the song, I will upload it (I *think* that is how things work in the new version of the site).

> If/when I need to do anything, please let me know.

I'm working out the guitar and melody tonight, and plan to record it tomorrow. As I'm working through it, I have found a couple spots where I'd like to tweak the lyric a bit to help the scansion against the melody. Both are in the final stanza:

- In the second line, I'd like to repeat "peace" (so it would be "Peace, peace to my soul").
- In the last line, I'd like to finish on "mi alma" (where the ellipsis is now).

I don't think you need to do anything to your original version of the lyric.

I'm planning to make the third stanza function as a bridge, tweaking the chords an melody a bit.

> I'm intrigued to hear what you come up with!

Me too! I hope I can get it down in a form which matches what I'm hearing in my head.

I'm fine with singing on "Not Afraid of the Dark" -- that will make it a little easier to arrange. I just didn't want to take it for granted.

I'd be glad to try my hand at the lullaby setting I mentioned for "Not Afraid of the Dark." Are you interested in singing it?

Many thanks to you as well!!

I would like to thank you so much for your kind comment!

Thanks! :-)

Thanks for the listen and comment! Yes, the Monster at the End of this Book is exactly what I was referencing. Don't know why it popped into my head, but I read it a lot as a kid, with my dad. :)

@johnstaples thank you very much! I'm really excited about the whole opportunity!

@tseaver Thank you! I'm very excited to write lyrics and hear some of it set to music!

Welcome to FAWM! Hope you have a great month, and get to enjoy the community.

Hope you have a lovely FAWM!

Thanks! Me too :)

Yay, so glad you're here! :)
