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

I was playing a parody
Of a narcissistic jerk
I was method acting
I get caught up in my work
Did my satire go too far?
Did I go over the line?
When it made me a star
I guess there's no denyin'

Some people got offended
I'd have thought time would have mended
Such innocent mistakes
But some have pretended
I was being evil
And that is hardly civil

I'm singing to apologize
Though I did nothing wrong
But people have been telling lies
About me, so this song
Will set the record straight
Without too much debate
So I'm singing to apologize
For other people's lies

My Ukulele Apology

A Montreal Paul
