FAWM: "Safe"

Safe

Liner Notes

@mdavisto says:
This was #randomcollaborations Week 3, I was partnered with @jennakole.

I said yes to too many things, resulting in me running around screaming in the last week.

Did I need to change it from 86bpm to 110bpm? Did I need to reformat it into triplets? YES, yes I did, all of that was entirely necessary.

Still feels a bit naked in bits, but that's FAWM for you. ONWARDS!

I really love being able to contribute to something that I couldn’t have even come close to conceptualizing on my own. This is such a cool experience for me and hats off to David for this work!

Lyrics

I lost my own sense of time
Fixed my sight on a relative line
I learned how to count
By watching it
I watched it repeat

Drive myself into the ground
Making up for being down
Of course I know that means that I
Will fall
Will stall

You gave me a sign
You threw me a vine
And what else is a girl to think
about a gift
It’s safe
We’re safe

this sounds sick!

I love these vocal effects! I agree that the bpm and triplet changes were necessary, or at the very least extremely cool. I like “we’re safe” as the hook, and the climbing verse melodies are very memorable

Seems David is on a triplet kick this year and I'm all for it. Love the vocal, reminds me of Beth Gibbons. I like the chill, downtempo vibe.

WOW 😮 I would be adding this to a streaming playlist immediately, loved it! There are so many good things going on, how do I give them all a shout out?! Great vocals, super interesting percussion, synth patches that answer and interact with the vocals. Holy cow. Great listen 💚
