It's officially FAWM 2023! (February Album Writing Month). This is my first sketch track written and recorded on February 1, 2023 as a one-take recording vox and acoustic into a Shure SM58. No effects, just the raw recording.

If You Don't, You Will - FAWM 2023 - sketch 1

*posts this track and then disappears from the internet for 100 years* 

This is a demo for February Album Writing Month. I sourced the lyrics from some discussions that have been going on on Twitter, especially about AI and deep fake, and a dude literally saying he might kidnap a women because he's a "nice guy" who can't get laid.


Lyrics

Have you heard? 
We don't need women anymore
We've got AI 
All those fingers and teeth, I don't mind...

Do straight men even like women?
If they say yes I don't believe them
Do straight men even like women? 
They're always trying to tell them blah blah blah 

Use the breath as an anchor, inhale, exhale, inhale...

Have you heard?
Women don't like nice guys
Maybe I should kidnap one
It'd be a nice prize
Do straight men even like women?
(A nice surprise)
If they say yes I don't believe them
(If she runs away I'll follow)
Do straight men even like women? 
(She's not allowed to say no)
They're always trying to tell them blah blah blah

Simmer in the experience of the right here, right now
whatever to-do lists exist, let them go

Pieces of me were lost long ago
Who am I, I don't even know
People always tell me what to say, what to do
Is that you? 
If not, who?
What will you do?

Turn up the volume on the right here, right now, observing the breath, in, out, in, out.

Do straight men even LIKE women? (FAWM Demo)

Song For A Welcome Party

Jacob Everett Wallace  posted the lyrics on the FAWM.org during February Album Writing Month, and I dove on them and put the music together.

i’m the cat curiosity killed

(Burning Down That) Ghost Train

Words by Elizabeth Petty:

Meta This and That

V1
growing thoughts
are filling every space
expanding junk
now clutters everyplace

there are analyses
on analyses done
there’s more data
on data on everyone

it’s all so meta
one day we’ll implode
if we don’t release
our meta load

C
there is
meta this
and meta that

there are
meta quests
with meta maps

there is
metaphysics
with meta gaps

all this
meta meta
is meta crap

all the meta
this and that

V2
profuse truths
are spewing everywhere
loose ideas
keep flowing here and there

there’s predictions
on predictions now
there’s harsh critiques
on critiques somehow

it’s all so meta
one day we’ll implode
if we don’t release
our meta load

C
there is
meta this
and meta that

there are
meta quests
with meta maps

there is
metaphysics
with meta gaps

all this
meta meta
is meta crap

all the meta
this and that

B
some meta things
we really need
like metacarpals
and metaphors are great
or good metabolism
and metabolic substrates
much of the meta rest
is just meta crap
we likely need more
Metamucil for that…

C
there is
meta this
and meta that

there are
meta quests
with meta maps

there is
metaphysics
with meta gaps

all this
meta meta
is meta crap

all the meta
this and that

Meta This and Meta That (aka Meta Crap)
