Liner Notes

2 years later…I'm in a different place - physically and mentally. I'm halfway across the globe, graduated with many trips under my belt, saw family and friends old and new, and much much more. With all of the many things that have happened, returning to FAWM feels like an old friend, reminding me of where I was back then and connecting it to the me now. I'm ready to share new bits and pieces of my life through the medium of song <3

Starting off with an idea that originated while abroad, this month I hope I can clean/clear up the back burner of musical ideas collecting dust on my hard drive whilst developing new ideas. Stay tuned!

Lyrics

[Intro]
piano + instruments [Gm7 C7 F7 BbM→/A] x4 [piano riff for 2 repeats, then full band]
I’ll see you soon (on the piano riff into the main)

[Verse 1]
[gm7 dm7 gm7 dm7 cm7 F7 Bb]
Checking into dorms and rooms, so late [checked into my dorm, my room]
Staring at the moon, I’m jet-lagged half past 8
How it goes
In a new place I have yet to appreciate

[Verse 2]
Checking into labs and class, orientate
Feeling overwhelmed, adjusting to the ways
I’m finally here
Get my bearings, adjustment every day

[Chorus] {x4 riff}
[Gm7 C7 F7 BbM→/A]
Checking out checking in
A new chapter in time
Checking out checking in
Ending’s done let’s begin

Checking in checking out
A new chapter begins
Checking in checking out
Time to go from the start

[Chorus Solo] {second half solo with my acoustic guitar(add later?)}

[Bridge]
[Cm7 F7 BbM→/A]
All the time spent scrolling, you could be sketching
Perspectives of living, when they change it’s strange {Welcome Back~}

Is it time for breakfast
The clock strikes 0100 oh no
The jet lag woes
It comes and goes but we heal

[Verse 3]
Checking into feelings, thoughts that I may have
How am I doing - happy, fine, or sad
Check in with friends
Knowing love I feel for them is to that end

[Chorus]
