This is my first FAWM and I heard about something like #slothcore. Very cool. So I tried to record my first very slow song. It's called "Smells like a Dream in 40 BPM"
and I don't know if it's #slothcore or rather some #slothpop but it is ;)

And it contains a song prompt no 5: #smell , too.

“Love Will Tear Us Apart” is a song made for FAWM 2023.
It’s made for SONG PROMPT #7 • Steal a title from another famous song,
But rewrite everything else, and make it about something new! #famoustitle 
So I wrote Joy Division's song "Love Will Tear Us Apart" differently, with new lyrics and music, without joy and without division, but about zombies and the post-apocalypse....

Have fun listening!

Lyrics below:

Love Will Tear Us Apart 


Again,

You will be the savior of the wastelands
And I will follow you very slowly
You will be our noble hero 
They will write pretty songs about you
I will be a shadow that scares
A crowd that everyone is afraid of
And you are not frightened?
You have a rifle and a baseball bat

Again,

You will perform great deeds
I will drag through the city
You will come out alive from every ambush
and maybe no one will see me
You will find food supplies for all
I will walk in the same clothes
You will even use deodorant
For me, it will no longer matter

Again,

You will be the survivor
And I'll be the zombie
And pretty love?
Love will tear us apart

Again,

Or I'll be the hero
And you will be the zombie
And our love?
Love will tear us apart

Again,

ok, It's you who will remain human
Because I already feel like a zombie
Will we eat our love, together?
Love will tear us apart

In the post-apocalypse

Love will tear us apart

In the post-apocalypse 

Love will tear us apart

In the post-apocalypse

“Minor Threat” is my 5th song made for FAWM 2023.
It uses SONG PROMPT #7 • Steal a title from another famous song,
But rewrite everything else, and make it about something new! #famoustitle
I took the title from Minor Threat, a song by Minor Threat (a legendary American #hardcore #punk band formed in 1980 in Washington, DC), but my version has new lyrics and music.... Not much #hardcore and #punk, but there are as usual #zombies and #post-apocalypse....

Good #FAWM2023 to everyone!

Lyrics below:

Minor Threat

Hey, if you want we can go for a walk,
We just have to watch out for bandits and zombies, 
If you want, we can watch the movie on the internet,
Or sit together on the old couch because there's no Wi-Fi anymore,
If you feel like it, we can go to our favorite restaurant 
That was looted and cook something tasty there
If you'll have time in this post-apocalypse
Let me know and we'll do something together

Please don't be afraid
I’m just a minor threat
Please, please don’t be afraid
I am just a minor threat


Hey, if you ever want, we can even pretend,
that we're going out for ice cream and we're happy,
Coffee shops don't exist, the malls are destroyed,
But we can have beautiful memories together,
If you want, we can get on our bikes and go straight,
Across the deserted highway, passing all the rusted cars,
If you want very much, we can even smile at each other,
And laugh out loud when there will be no zombies around

Please don't be afraid
I’m just a minor threat
Please, please don’t be afraid
I am just a minor threat

Hey, if you want, you can write a love letter to me,
although now the post office doesn't work,
I will wait patiently by the letterbox every day,
We can meet there one day for a chat in the moonlight,
Or if you prefer, we can go shopping at the supermarket,
Although there are no more stores and money is worth nothing,
We can pretend that we are ordinary people

Please don't be afraid
I’m just a minor threat
Please, please don’t be afraid
I am just a minor threat

Minor Threat

No cap as surely as the sun rises 
A cool cat with absolutely no surprises 
Equipped to handle every single situation 
No anxiety with sobriety and admiration 
Oh be still my soul 
All my life I only live for you 
Can you feel the love tonight? 
I'll always be alone for the rest of my life 
Boom bap but sometimes he's a little sus 
Puck that this homey make me wanna cuss 
He come out like a lion but that little punk be lying 
He's locked up in a cage ready to rage 
But that door be swinging wide ready to ride

Cool Cats and Kittens

I was blinded by the devil
Sucked up by the hive
I was drowning in the bottle
But now I am alive
I was born in mild chaos
Trapped by my own fear
Held captive by ambition
Resisting what was near
I was slayed by betrayal
Pinned down by love
Existing in the gut of a Leatherback whale
I fell down from that  tower when I pried out the nail
I did it the hard way 
Way hard the it did I
Do you know what love does
Does love know what you do 
When people ask you what you believe
You just point down you say
All I know is I'll be in the ground one day
February, life's midwinter
When you were made
Pinnacle point in the night sky 
Thou shall not fade
Standing in the sun now undone
Life has begun

Smells Like a Dream in 40 BPM
