Thank you so much for your note. It means a great deal. I'm pretty proud of that album.
I just realized that I hadn't checked out your bandcamp page in my big run earlier this year. I've got it bookmarked to look at before bandcamp friday.

Thank you for the kind words on "Tell Me I'm Crying", there were points (particularly in the bridge) where I really excited because I thought @katestantonsings along with the arrangement touched on Kate Bush a bit.

Thanks for the feedback on my collabs. I appreciate you taking the time.

Congrats on finishing, Michael--and then some! See ya at The Mediator.

Mike, I just listened to "The Last Day of Sun" twice and I love what you did with it! I particularly like the chorus, and it's exactly the kind of song I was imagining. I can absolutely imagine this being performed on Sesame Street.

Thanks for commenting on my collab song "Back Down" with Cindyrella.

It’s lovely. Thank you! ❤️🙂

Just sent you the lyrics!

Ah, ok, I was kinda waiting for you to email me first. The lyrics are already ready. I'll email you this evening after dinner!

Hey, Mike! 🙂 You are welcome to add music to “Clouds,” if you like.

Hi @mikegtz! Thank you for your encouraging post about "New Relationship Energy". I look forward to checking out your music!!

Sounds good! Looking forward. I've just been listening to your songs here and I think I know what I want to send you! :)

Hi, Michael! Not too late at all! Yes, please, go for it and we'd be thrilled to have you. And just let me know if you have any questions at all. You can email me at popmythologist[at]gmail[dot]com or you can also always just post any questions directly on my FAWM profile page. Excited to have you on the challenge!

Ok, got something for Kool Aid Chalet in the works - will keep you posted.

Not sure if I can get to Kool Aid Chalet - I'll check back with you when I'm through my backlog!

Thanks for the collab :) the guitar is sounding great, especially the little flourishes you’ve added in the ‘I’ll bounce/ walk’ sections. Really enjoyed the chilled out but expressive delivery too - it captures the care free vibe of the lyric perfectly!

Yep. I’m here. My life is going better than it has in a decade, even with the current pain I am dealing with. Hoping we can plan a March song circle/FAWM over party. Miss seeing you all!

Ahh good, glad you like :)

Sorry don’t know why it didn’t work! I came up with some lighthearted lyrics cause I could see the humour in the ones you’ve posted. Feel free to make edits 😀 if you like it, then I can post - or feel free to make the music then you can post when ya ready!

In moderation:

I’m off trampolining
They’ve warned me I may die
If that’s true at least I will
Go out on a high

I’ll bounce, I’ll flip
If I fall and trip
I’ll scream ‘oh shit’
Then get back to it
Go out on a high

Cotton wool is in her pockets
Down his shirt, and in their sockets
Health and safety, has it gone mad?
In moderation, it ain’t all bad

I’m off tightrope walking
They’ve warned me I may die
If that’s true at least I will
Go out on the fly

I’ll walk, I’ll dance
If I fall, I’ll land
I’ll scream ‘oh man’
Then rebalance
Go out on the fly

Cotton wool is in her pockets
Down his shirt, and in their sockets
Health and safety, has it gone mad?
In moderation, it ain’t all bad

When I’m drinking, smoking
Rocking, rolling
I’m living, owning
My decisions
When I’m drinking, smoking
Rocking, rolling
I’m living, owning
My decisions

103 with no fun is a pittance
103 with no fun is a pittance
I’m living, owning
My decisions

I’ve pinged you an email 😀

Sounds good - I'll try get something to you tomorrow evening. I can drop you an email first to check you like it 😀

Hey Mike,

Sorrryyy someone is already working on that one - i should have made it clearer that any with a needs-collab tag are still up for grabs, and any where I’ve removed the tags are being worked on - hopefully I’ve got to you in time and you haven't started yet, please accept my apologies! Are there any other ones you fancied? - if not more than happy to write something new for us but might take a few days 😀

Hey,
Nice to meet you :) I’m easy! If there’s any lyrics I’ve posted that you like setting to music feel free to grab them, or alternatively I’m happy to write something new - is there any prompts you‘d like me to write around?

I'd love to. Give me some time to work something up.

Are you suggesting I splice in a section of "Say A Little Prayer For You"??? I love that so much. I hadn't thought of that at all until you mentioned it, but it's freaking genius. 😍

Hey, Mike - so much fun to randomly collaborate with you. Thank you for your rendition of My Pontiac’s Been Wrecked.

Hello Michael! Thank you for your kind words. 😀

Thanks for commenting on my song "Choose".

Thank you for your kind words about Wild Heart and Let Go :)

Hey Mike! Thanks for reaching out. That’s so cool that we have those similarities. That’s basically my life in a nutshell. Thanks for your comments too. “One of a series” is a great idea, although the inspiration seems to be so short lived right now, I’ll take it where I can get it.

Thanks for your comment on "Right side of the road"! I love morph challenges cause you never know the twists and turns of other musicians. And it's my happy spot as arranger to come with weird ideas without asking for permission :) Feel free to check out other songs. My FAWM content is very raw in comparison to the full versions.

good to hear from you mike. ill be checking out your songs as well.

Hey my friend, happy to see you again!

Hi Michael, thanks for the welcome!

99! That's awesome. I suspect I'll be around, though I don't play out anymore. If you make it to Parkway Brewing Company in Salem, that's my watering hole.

Hi Mike! Rest assured, it's gonna get a little weird. :) Welcome back to the FAWMs!

Hey Mike! Year 2 for me, thanks again!

Happy FAWMing Mike!

Hey Mike - have a great FAWM!

Hi Mike! I hope you are well!

Happy FAWM 2023!

OH WOW, so happy to see you, I have been looking for you and now all is right with the world!! Happy FAWMing!!!

Yay, you're back! I was just remembering the FOP at that coffeeshop with the big vault... was it called Bloc 9? Because I tried looking it up and I guess now it's just Bloc. Anyway, good to see you again :)

Hey Mike!
Happy FAWMing. 🙂
