NOTE: Please use my handle only on this platform even if you know me irl. Thanks!

Sassy, honest, and completely out of forks to give. I have the Costco Fun Pack of conditions and music has been great therapy for the body and soul. I love the creative challenge of FAWM and 50/90, and the inevitable release and growth that comes with it. I don't care about commercial viability or song length or even if something is "good" or not.

Update for 2023:
Still working on irl priorities, so I'm only posting lyrics. That's what works for me. Will possiprobably work through some more trauma, too, soo... you've been warned. My goal is to have fun, enjoy the community, and reach new creative levels for myself while keeping the plates of my spoonie life spinning without too much effort. Production on any level is not a concern. Period.

"BuT yOu caN jUsT Do a VoIcE aPp dEmO" ...I said what I said.

COLLABORATIONS:
Probably not an option this year. My limited resources are otherwise directed. What I post here will not be available for collaboration. Thank you for respecting that.

Let's do this!

2022 50/90: 21? Maybe?
2022 FAWM: 17/18 (1 was a lyric morph)
2021 50/90: 60/63 - someone discovered skirmishes! 3 were the result of morphs, so I only take credit for 60 songs.
2021 FAWM: 17
2020 FAWM: 14
2017-2019: we do not discuss these years
2016 FAWM: 1
2015 FAWM: 14
2014 FAWM: 14

Many Thanks for your kind words on "From Your Valentine" and for hosting the skirmish which inspired it. :)

Hi! I saw your message on my thesis post, but I just logged into bandcamp and didn't see any notifications. Feel free to email me, my address is carley {at} carleybaer {dot} com :)

Thanks for the comment on "Rumors", and thanks for hosting all these skirmishes!

Thanks for the nice comment on "He's Hot For Her." I've been trying to add another layer to the story without wrecking the fun I had with that flow. We'll see!

Thanks for your kind words on my song 'Only Way To Go'. You've been watchlisted!

Thank you so much for taking a listen to "Babies, You've Got To." I appreciate you mentioning the lyrics that stood out to you. I love knowing what resonates with me also resonates with other people.

Not to worry! I'm the same this FAWM, really working to maintain balance for myself. I got your email, so I'll send you the take soon.

HI! So, I was completely inspired, and I sang a full one-take version of Pour One Out into my phone. If you are interested in hearing my take on the song, let me know where I can send you that little snippet. If you like it, I'll work up a full demo and we can have a collab! If you don't like my take, no harm done and your beautiful words can stand on their own.

Thank you for your comment on Never Stop Singing. That line you picked out has very specific meanings to it, and bears to your point that the audience doesn't need to know all the specifics to feel the depth behind the words.

Thank you so much! My apologies to all of your neighbors 😄

Thank you so very kindly for your message! And yes, the patriarchy (or, well kyriarchy if we want to use the all-encompassing term) doesn't stop at login screens. Not here, not anywhere. It's super important to protect those who need protection, and I really hope that we will get this feature sooner than later.
Have a great February! 😘
