Hi Nadia, FYI...I've upload "Let Go" to my Soundcloud site and put the link in the song thread comments. Thank you for such an inspiring piece! It's a beautiful song!
[avatar]
Thank you, Nadia. I am well; how are you? I hope we stay in touch this spring. I have a musical video I think you'll enjoy that I wanted to share with you. I'll email you!
[avatar]
@cts
Hi Nadia. Congrats on the win (you REALLY won big). I sent an email to you.
[avatar]
Nadia, SO sorry, I got your name wrong. FAWM is doing that to me! Thanks for letting me know.
[avatar]
Thanks so much for your comment on Mid Life Spices! So appreciated!
[avatar]
Hi, Nadia, Yes, you perfectly captured what Jeff and I were going for in Always You. I can picture that cruise ship scenario you mentioned--or reuniting at a wedding years later. Yep! That's what this song is about. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
[avatar]
Thanks for your kind words on "When You're Famous" -- I appreciate you taking a listen to our song!
[avatar]
@nadine
Thank you, Nadia! Haha, many tried to convert me to musical and Disney music, but I guess this won't happen in my lifetime. I even watched some modern stuff - for example Hamilton or High School Musical - but hell no, most is just too lengthy and I'm not the kind of person who listens to songs telling a story within a bigger context. I'm the kind of person who listens to a genre or mood playlist on random.

I look forward to working with you on "Pay it forward". I restrung my guitar, but it's still out of tune. No idea if I can do some takes next week or the week after. I'm a bit busy in March, but I have it on my list. Caitlin will work in parallel.
[avatar]
Thank you so much Nadia! Comments about the music mean a lot to me coming from you. I hope you had a nice FAWM! You've been incredibly creative, prolific, and collaborative--so I venture to say you have dear friend <3
[avatar]
@paulvt
Yes, you can email me an mp3 version of the track for now, and I can use it to work on a vocal track.
[avatar]
@nadine
Thanks for checking out! I gonna do some listening the next days!
[avatar]
@nadine
I've updated my jazzy guitar jam. It's called "Overjoyed" and got some vocals now.

@jamkar
Thank you for your kind comments Nadia, on Winter's Tale.

Thanks for checking out "be my ghost" glad you liked it!
[avatar]
Hello, I just sent an email with a mix of "let go"
Let us know how to proceed. Thanks!
[avatar]
Thanks for commenting on my song "Losing Eternity".
[avatar]
@nadine
You're welcome - Thanks for checking back. Yes I like the power and emotion @deadhead added to my lyrics of "I love my life". It's our 2nd collab, we did "Good morning blues" last year (see YouTube). Completely different direction!
[avatar]
@nadine
Hey Nadia! We added a music demo for "I love my life".
[avatar]
Sorry, I must be half asleep 😅. Thanks again for having a listen and positive feedback, much appreciated!
[avatar]
Hi thanks so much for your positive comments on ‘Sleep Will Come to All’! Yeah, the lyrics aren’t great as a lullaby. 😅😊 Im planning on extending the song a bit for the final version. Cheers 🙌
[avatar]
OK, just tried to email you some a cello track. Let me know if you are able to access it alright...
[avatar]
Thanks for commenting on my collab song "Defy Gravity" with mikeb.
[avatar]
Thank you for your kind comment on "Knowledge From the Internet." :)
[avatar]
Hello, am about to add some cello to let go during the snow day I've experienced today!
[avatar]
@mikeb
Thanks for the comment on 'It Takes Two'!
[avatar]
@nadine
Thank you :)
[avatar]
@nadine
Thanks for your comment! Well, I didn't plan to turn "I love my life" into a full production, but maybe somebody feels inspired to use these lyrics. I'm loaded with projects for this year, and maybe also next 😅 Songwriting hiatus! Just waiting for the last bits to arrive to fulfil my 14 and that's it!
[avatar]
Hey Nadia, I've sent you an email :-)
[avatar]
Hi Nadia, I hope Version 2 is okay, as discussed. I'm going out of town for a week but will be working on another version that I hope will be more what you had in mind. Best--Andrew
[avatar]
Received! I'm not around recording gear, but hope to get to it soon!
[avatar]
@nadine
You're welcome! I also love your collabs. And congratulations for winning FAWM!
[avatar]
@mikeb
Thanks for the detailed comments on 'Defy Gravity'!
[avatar]
Thanks - it’s no problem, I’ve downloaded it from Bandcamp :~)
[avatar]
@nadine
Thank you! Yes I'm also looking forward to the further work on Backwards.
[avatar]
Thanks Nadia, I'll get to work on it this weekend!
[avatar]
For sure, I would be up for adding some cello! Yes you can use my website. I'm new to collaborating in this FAWM space, and look forward to trying this out.
[avatar]
Thanks for commenting on my collab song with crisp1 "All the Time in the World".

Thanks for commenting on my song "Lost Soulmate". Congrats on your Trophy!!!

@andrea
Thanks for checking out Dank Swank. I appreciate it. I starting to think about ideas for Frosty Roses. I am nursing a head cold, but still plugging along, just a little slower. Talk to you soon :)
[avatar]
Thanks so much for your comment on Glimpse!
[avatar]
@candle
Hi Nadia,

I got the email. I really like what you came up with. Now I need to come up with something to add to it. Thank you for suggesting we collab. I'll be in touch.

See You In The Shadows…
[avatar]
BTW -don't- feel obliged to listen back, that way lies madness! I've been very slow on my commenting and I'm trying to catch up with my watchlist, most of whom I haven't heard, and, and...!
[avatar]
Thank you for the "Mist Rising" comment Nadia. I'm still trying to find the photo that stimulated it (used as a backdrop in the ill-fated opera). And I've only listened to one Nadia track? We'll fix that right now!
[avatar]
@candle
Hi Nadia,

Sorry, I usually steer clear of the site on Pink Day. As such, I didn't see your note on my soundboard until just now. Thank you for the offer. If you're still interested, maybe you might send me some piano & I can see what I can come up with. My email is darbyspicer at gmail dot com if you're interested.

See You In The Shadows…

@oswlek
Thank you for giving "Mist" and "Carolina" a spin, Nadia. It's always a treat when you stop by. :)
[avatar]
Dear Nadia, I've posted "The Same" recording on "private" to give you a chance to hear it first. I've promised no apologies this FAWM, but I have concerns that you might not like my tweaking and adds to your lyric. (I'm also hoping you like them.) If you prefer, we could make this collab a separate song and someone else could have a go with your original lyrics. I really enjoyed working on this, and would like to make a fuller version with other instruments and a female singer if that's okay (probably in March). Btw, I'm a beginner with the Reaper DAW, so this is pretty raw. Cheers--Andrew
[avatar]
@nadine
Thanks for your comment on "Glimpse". I just updated the song! We're not finished yet but maybe 80%!?
[avatar]
@kristi
Thanks, Nadia! I had the day off today, so had a little extra time to try to write! I'll be in touch via email.
[avatar]
Hey Nadia, just wanted to let you know I'm open for new collabs atm if you wanted to maybe create an instrumental that you think could suit my voice and style. Or you could just surprise me with any mood/style, I don't care!
[avatar]
@sollis
Thank you for the kind words on 'Flow, My Tears', Nadia!

I'll go ahead and give you a premature congratulations on getting to 14 songs; with two and a bit weeks to go and just one song left, I have no doubt that you'll get there!
[avatar]
@jeff9
Thank you so much, Nadia, for your generous comment and encouragement on When I Get Home.

Really impressed with your productivity here. When we get towards the end of the month, I'll get more busy listening to them.
[avatar]
Oh sweet Nadia! There is absolutely nothing for you to apologize for, it was such an honor for me to be a part of your song! It was nice of Nadine to take the lead in communications for us. I do hope for more opportunities to collaborate together, you are very talented!

Thank you for the kind comment on @richaaaay and my collab! Looks like you're storming across the finishing line after just over a week - well done, Nadia!!
[avatar]
@nadine
Would you mind that I add a ❤ to our collab? I use this symbol to mark all songs that I want to turn into full production.
[avatar]
@sollis
Thanks for listening to 'Midnight Swim', Nadia! I really appreciate your thoughts regarding the vox / no vox question. Sometimes it's hard to make the judgement alone when you've spent too long on a song! I'll probably revisit it with fresh ears once FAWM is over.
[avatar]
@rowanb
Hi, yes I’m working on something now which I think might be greatly enhanced by your skills. I’ll let you know when I complete it.
[avatar]
@conorg
Yes I can work round the "no click track" thing, all part of the fun! If you come up with anything that you think could benefit from a few more layers send it over to me.
[avatar]
@nadine
Hey Nadia, I've created a new song. Please check and complete the song info. Thank you for letting me work on your song!
[avatar]
@nadine
You got a mail
[avatar]
@rowanb
I've stopped commenting on each of your individual uploads but I think they are all amazing! You are very talented!
[avatar]
Thanks for commenting on my song "Choose".
[avatar]
@nadine
I've loaded it onto my DAW. I could work out an arrangement when I adjust your playing to a constant tempo. Adjusting the drums to your rubato doesn't work. I can do a super quick drum draft for you to imagine if this is going anywhere of if it makes your playing too static. Please send me a mail, so I have yours.
[avatar]
@nadine
Got it, thanks!
[avatar]
Thanks so much for the comment on "Flaming June!" I do love melancholy (in a way). ;)

@nadine
Hey, I guess around 4-5 pm my time (= 3-4 pm your time, if I got that right)
[avatar]
Thank you for your kind feedback on Hey Minnesota! It was a little out of my comfort zone singing without music, but I enjoyed it!
[avatar]
Thank you for the comment on “Fish Baby Birthday!”
[avatar]
Thank you for your kind comment on A Winter's tale Nadia, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
[avatar]
@nadine
Didn't work right now. I'll try tomorrow after work. Have a nice evening!
[avatar]
@nadine
Sounds like a plan, thanks! Just hit me up, when you set up your Bandcamp. I'm online for 15 minutes and then I'll be gone... This week will be tough. Haha yes, we have sort of the same name. I hope it works, but I cannot guarantee, cause that's a new horizon for me as a producer.
[avatar]
@nadine
Thanks for your lovely comment, Nadia! When I wrote "High Noon" i just wanted to jam some blues and calm down a bit. Somehow this sound reminded me of a very dry desert.. and western movies.
[avatar]
Thanks Nadia for your lovely comment on Let Go, I'm glad you enjoyed it! That was a wooden tenor recorder on the intro, it does sound quite like a flute, and it is the first time I've got the recorders out for FAWM for some reason!
[avatar]
Hi Nadia, I've been enjoying working with The Same and hope to record today with guitar, at least initially. There's a role for keys and maybe cello, so I may wait to Tuesday 2/7 to finish, when a cable to connect my keys to the computer interface arrives.
[avatar]
Thanks for commenting on my song "His Sun".
[avatar]
Thanks for your response to my collab inquiry. I will post both poems on my Sound board. Thanks for offering to take a look at one or both
[avatar]
@nadine
Thank you, Nadia. I feel like a cold is approaching, so I'm trying to be gentle with my voice. Yesterday, I just wanted to get the morph done before it gets worse.
[avatar]
Thanks Nadia... I take that as a compliment coming from you...
[avatar]
@gslade
Nadia! Glad you're here this year. Hope it's going well for you, and hope you're having a great FAWM!
[avatar]
Thanks Nadia. Val recorded Splinter and it's incredible!
[avatar]
Absolutely, I think it would be fun to add some cello to your collaboration!
[avatar]
Thanks for your comments on "The Final Friday", I enjoyed writing the movie challenge and interpreting it into a song.
[avatar]
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on. my FAWM profile page! I look forward to listening to your music too. I got a little bit of a late start on FAWM this year, so I am playing catch up today.

@nadine
Thanks for your kind words. My throat is sore and I feel a bit weak. Independently, I still don't feel confident as a singer. My singing good enough for a draft, but not for a recording. My producer self wouldn't recruit myself as a vocalist, cause my quality standards are higher. Sometimes, I wish I were Hayley Williams or Taylor Momsen, but unfortunately I don't seem to have that raspy powerful rock voice.
[avatar]
@kristi
Thanks Nadia. I'll see what happens and be in touch. :)
[avatar]
Hi Nadia, are you okay with me playing with the lyrics on our collab? I'll show you first, of course.
[avatar]
@nadine
Thank you 🤗 I admire your emotional playing 😍
[avatar]
Hi Nadia, thank you for your comment on "The Journey Of 1000 Steps" and I'm glad you felt the inner light of the song :)
[avatar]
@nadine
Thanks a lot for your comment on "Princess"! I love the story you came up with ^^
[avatar]
Thank you very much for comment "Tribute to Dr.Who" I´m a big, nerdy fan ;)
[avatar]
Hi Nadia, So good to be with you here again. Thank you so much for your kind praise for my first song "Every breath is a gift". I'm so glad you enjoyed listening !
[avatar]
Hello again, Nadia. I'm so sorry to have missed out on so much over the past 2 years. I really going give myself as much time as possible this FAWM, to listen and comment on more of the music by you and more of my FAWMily!
Cheers,
John

@thetau
Yep... Lyrics are my weakness, so Collaboration makes it more fun and less stress on my aging Brain. Sumi is a Top-liner as well as Lyricist. I usually start out creating the music tracks, (sometimes including the Melody-line but not always). With Sumi, if I create a melody-line for it, she will generally re-write it entirely. Sometimes she ignores the melody-line entirely and does her own thing. Fortunately she has a brilliant lyrical sense, and her natural grasp of melody makes everything blossom. Her Beautiful voice is something that makes us all green with envy.

Theme song for a Film would always be a pleasant extension. But 1st we have already started moving it into a "Duet." We have already written the Male part of the duet as a separate song. I've been working with Chris @chrismyth02 on this one. It's not yet fully produced, but the song-writing is done, and we most likely will be showcasing it Later, here at FAWM. I'll keep you up to date.
[avatar]
@thetau
Oh yes I like "My rainy day," especially where the melody-line drops into a lower register, at about 0:32 secs. Melancholic beauty, difficult to express musically, but a huge magnet to the ear-worm.
Yep I suppose that turn-about is fair-play,. For me, it's like having more than one child, and later on you gain grandchildren... You love them all. So it becomes your latest one holds more of your attention.
My latest > "My Favorite Christmas Tune" with Co-Writer SUMI
