COLLABORATION UPDATE: if you are a musician looking for lyrics I have added (open for collab) behind the title so hopefully it is easier to find some. Or feel free to let me know what kind of style or theme you are looking for and I can send you possibilities.

FAWM!!!! Yes! I will do my best to participate as fully as possible but work obligations are busier than usual. I will listen as much as I can, comment when I am able, and post some lyrics and songs when time allows, and, as always, look forward to connecting and collaborating with you!

BIO: After many years of loving deeply, learning broadly, laughing freely, and living fully with a wild and crazy muse as my guide, I began writing songs and started to play music as inspired by a fellow FAWMer. We made an album together. That was in 2013. I have since had the remarkable opportunity to collaborate writing music with many awesome FAWMers far and near who inspire and delight me with their talents and passion.

I am grateful to you, my fellow FAWMers, for your inspiration, encouragement, and generosity! You never cease to impress and amaze me. I am sure this FAWM will be no exception! Enjoy!

Always open to collaborations, challenges, and co-writing! Happy to write lyrics for you or have you put music to mine. Would love to do more co-writing as well.

ALL LYRICS are OPEN for COLLABORATION unless I note otherwise. Just let me know! I am open to any musician’s minor tweaks and musical ideas! Also happy to share my ideas for a melody if that is helpful to you. Also happy to try doing simple music with your lyrics, co-write, do live skirmishes, or play some flute.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Happy FAWM to you!

Liz, Thanks for taking a listen to "Fear of Falling". Alain's lyrics were poignant. My singing was OK but the guitar accompaniment did not come throu well. I gotta learn how to use my DAW and get a clear reading of what's happening musically
It's amazing what you were able to do on "Introspective Edge" with just an iphoner garage band. I gotta learn to do that!.. Very cool!!
You will recover from that surgery and are encouraged to continue making beautiful lyrics and music!

Thank you, Liz! @mctown's lyrics really moved me, too. One can tell you have a huge heart through your lyrics, but to also hear your story with your son--thank you so much for sharing!! I hope and pray our society becomes more trauma-informed...it will only help us post-pandemic, war, etc. too. Being seen and heard helps with the healing process!! Nothing hurts worse than someone saying, "ah get over it" or "it wasn't that bad"...I sometimes wonder if those people mean well and cannot wrap their head around what some kids go through bc it is just too sad.

Glad you liked my sad tale of the electrician. It's based on reports I have read in the British Press. While Britain was still in the European Union most people accepted the influx of Eastern European skilled workers in Britain. But as soon as Britain left the EU, after the Brexit referendum, there was a rise in Xenophobia and many of those useful immigrants (doing jobs locals had no skill for) suffered abuse (can't say racial abuse, because the white English people insulting the foreigners were insulting people often whiter than themselves).
This has resulted in many of those families either returning "home", or like my narrator, heading over to Ireland, so their families don't need to learn yet another language. (Though the kids will be exposed to Irish at school 😉)

Now there is a massive shortage of skilled repair people in Britain - talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I thought I had offered to do your "Journeys through Memories". I thought it strange you had never got back to me on it. I concluded that I must have missed your reply. But I just checked the song's page and my post wasn't there. It looks like I mustn't have pressed send or something. Sigh.

Just listened to the demo Steve Johnson did and was astounded that the first two lines were almost note for not what I had recorded on my phone as a potential tune. I hope to find another lyric of yours that inspires me before FAWM ends. Is it just me, or has this FAWM gone by much faster than previous ones?

@ltunes 4w

LLLLIZ! right back at you :-) Thanks again for the great lyrics, for your generous comments, and for being so much fun to collaborate with. I am happy to have posted song #5 and am caught up to last year. My goal for this year is 9 songs; we will see if that happens. I am very slow on lyric writing but am committed to learning and improving (hopefully getting faster) I have taken up daily writing to help. But this is for sure - you have a special talent!

Glad you like my bluesy rant. Happy you picked up on the sense behind Verse 3.
It always amazes me that so many "normal" people will regurgitate that lie that "humans are greedy, selfish, etc" (the mantra of the right). while never displaying those characteristics themselves and probably rarely coming across it in their social circle. I see little acts of kindness on every walk I take through the streets and so many proofs that people are naturally gregarious and open to others, rather than out for themselves all the time.

Glad you liked my Empty Car Space Blues. I felt such a fool when I realised that I had been in the wrong place all that time. The thing that convinced me I was in the right place was that I remembered it was parked between a red and a white car at the bottom of the "field". When I went to the wrong waste ground, I went to the bottom of it and there was a space between a red car and a white car, so I convinced myself this was indeed where my car had been left. Once that idea took root, my brain stopped listening to the doubters and roared headlong into the single idea that my car had been stolen! What an embarrassment! I was lucky not to be arrested for wasting police time. 🤦‍♂️
