Hi, I’m Robyn (she/her) and 2024 for me marks 16 YEARS OF FAWM. Holy crap.

This year I'm focusing my output on spirituality and recovery, as that's been at the forefront of my mind. It's also the first time I've made an album cover pre-FAWM. I'm currently taking leave from work so I'm looking forward to be able to really lean into FAWM as a spiritual practice.

[...]

Until 2018, I worked with the beautiful artists over at @vsaredfish,and had 5 wonderful FAWMs with them. You can still check out the music we made together at https://soundcloud.com/vsa-red-fish-studios

Hi Robyn, thanks for checking out my song "marry me" a few weeks ago! Your comment about it having a classic country sound was very validating for me

Hi Robyn - I love where your music is heading here - nice mix of indie pop and retro-psychedelia. Would love to chat further - sent you an email.

Hi Robyn, thanks for checking out That’s What Being Dad’s About and leaving your thoughts. Much appreciated. Congratulations on another Fawm win, too!

Thank you so much for busting my Zong! And for the nice comments. :) I plan to listen more now that the crunch is over.

Hey, Robyn - Congrats on getting #14 posted. I’ll be back in March to listen to more.

Hi Robyn. Since you loved the Melons In Lingerie song, I thought I let you know that I just came up with a sort of a sequel, prompted by someone who thought that song inspired him to think of the phrase, "Gourds In Girdles". Well, that prompted me to write a followup. I hope you'll take a listen and comment. All the best,
[avatar]
Robin, thank you so much! You made my day with your comment regarding my song, "Melons In Lingerie". The news piece struck me just so odd and funny when I heard it yesterday (Saturday) that I immediately started writing lyrics to it, and they came to me almost immediately. I admit that I needed to come up with an appropriate rhyme for 'melon'. There are few - watermelon, felon, and 'enfelon' (the latter meaning to make fierce anger).

But the others just came to me, such as the inner rhyme in the opening verse, ..."news that really great to toot" and ..."many ways to ameliorate your fruit". Those somehow came out of my brain.

Maybe a bit over an hour I had the lyrics, and then I came up with the music. The song practically wrote itself. Thanks again!

I'm honored you put my Top 40 tune in the recommended thread. I've been in that thread only a few times and it means a lot, thanks!

Wow! You're fast on the draw with "A Moment Away". I barely got it posted and you listened to it and posted a review. Glad you liked the minimalistic approach.
[avatar]
Thanks for listening to "Why Are Guys I F*ck On Cruise Ships Always Mean To Me?"! Glad you had a better experience on your cruise! 😂

Thanks for listening and commenting. I think there are too many throwaway lines for the sake of rhyme is my Dragon Slayer song (something that happens very often with FAWM songs, right?), but if I decide to follow through and continue to perform it, I will fix that!
[avatar]
Thanks! I'm not even sure what the lyrics mean. I wrote them the other night when I was pretty drunk, they probably meant something in the moment but that was lost on me this morning when I was recording them, lol
[avatar]
Thanks for the kind words about "Girls with Black Hearts"! I appreciate it!
[avatar]

Thanks so much for your kind comment on “Sionainn’s Song”! (After I listened to it again I hated the plinky ukulele, so I added a low-G uke and re-mixed.)

Ummmm, parallels between masking and the Groundhog, totally accidental! But I love that you saw that. Happy accidents, right?
