Liner Notes

First FAWM25 effort - very rough and lots to work on with this. Inspiration taken from Bob Dylan’s Nobel address. Needs at least one more verse, possibly a chorus and bridge. Rhyme scheme very rough at this stage. Written solely on iPad and recorded on holiday in Phuket - hence background sound of parrots!!

Lyrics

Looking at you picture hangin on my wall
Your spark ignited so many fires
You lit those torches and saw them burn
Even though you wanted to be a complete unknown

Messy hair, cherub face
Lines that changed the world out of place
Where you came from ain’t on any map
The answers you went for are blowin in the wind

Cool tune but yes needs some more fleshing out. You could definitely put a lot more sly Dylan references in there like you did. I also like the Parrots in the background.

The parrots are great. This is a good start to work from. I think you are right in that it would need some other section to provide a bit of contrast. Enjoy your holiday!
