Liner Notes

One of my favorite things about FAWM is taking a riff that’s been floating around and finally turning it into a full song. This started with a keyboard riff I liked, and I knew I wanted to do something with it. Tove Lo was the inspiration, but as the song took shape, it veered more into the sounds of Human League and Prince—artists whose music is practically wired into me from growing up in the '80s.

The first line of the verse came to me, and from there, the song took me on its own path.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I see you and I know I want to be with you
A blend of chemicals is starting to produce
A wave of heat I feel it coming through my skin
And with a look I know the story will begin

Prechorus
Come with me and forget
I will guide and direct
We can dance in the storm
Til the rain starts to pour

Chorus
Breathing in your exciting air
Smelling the perfume in your hair
Getting far from reality
Blasting further from gravity

Verse 2
Squeeze your hand and idolize your tempting face
And then we slide into another hot display
Heartbeats sync together, perfectly in time
And every pulse is lifting higher as we climb

Very cool vibes here. I could imagine driving down the coastline at midnight with this song playing. It has big 80s summer energy

oh yeah!! I'm all about this. It's boppy and catchy. Love that more spoken pre chorus with the riser in the background. Fun!

So 80s! Very danceable. Congrats on taking the riff and doing something cool with it.

Love the 80's synthpop groove!! Well crafted lyrics also...I wanna dance in my cubicle now (but the boss is in the other one!)

Also - the verb on the vocals for the chorus are just PERFECT.

You SNAGGED this 80s vibe so hard! Definitely brings Human League and/or Howard Jones to mind. Great great job taking a riff that's been around for so long and DOING something with it. I LOVE FAWM so hard for pushing us to do this with our music.

Great bass sound, synth stabs, and an awesome synth pop track. I was definitely transported back to late 80’s/90’s.
