The second of fifteen songs I wrote for FAWM 2023.  This one's just a little dark.
I've had a small bit of this in my notebook for awhile, the idea of a descent into cold, darkness, bad/evil behavior, with the changes understood and yet still accepted as fate or destiny.

Cold Creeps (demo)

Fawmin inspiroimana päätin lähettää vanhan kellaribändini laulajalle ja biisintekijälle viestiä ja pyynnön tehdä "vielä yksi" biisi, jonka soittaisin ja sovittaisin. Vaikka Hannu ei ole enää vuosiin tehnyt musiikkia, hän suostui <3. A song from H.Lintula, a singer of my youth's cellar band. I asked him for a song for old times sake for this challenge, he accepted, sent me the chords and singing track(via iPad) which I then arranged and played. The first time I play(table) drums on a song.

Hiljaisuus

"Gilded Regret" is my 13th #experimental song created during the FAWM 2023.


This Song was created for 2 Challenges - One Note Challenge (#OneNoteChallenge)
and Dark Mirror Challenge 

One Note Challenge rules:
“The rules are simple:
-ONE NOTE ONLY.
-Octaves of your chosen note are ok
-Portamento / glide is OK (keep it short and land on your chosen note)
-NO CHORDS ( they are more than one note)
-Percussion allowed ( if tuned must be your chosen note)

After you post it tag your song #OneNoteChallenge so we can all check them out.”

In this challenge, I just used C notes for different octaves and instruments in my DAW.... I hope that was the point of this challenge ;) Something very experimental came out. :)



In Dark Mirror Oracle Challenge
 - I got “Glided Regret”

Gilded Regret

Filled with gilded regret
We look only backward
Trapped in gilded regret
We feel as we once did

We live like robots
We live in the past
We live in gilded regret
This is the post-apocalypse

Filled with gilded regret
We look only backward
Trapped in gilded regret
We feel as we once did

We live like robots
We live in the past
We live in gilded regret
This is the post-apocalypse

Filled with gilded regret
We look only backward
Trapped in gilded regret
We feel as we once did

We live like robots
We live in the past
We live in gilded regret
This is the post-apocalypse

Goodnight My Sweet Slothcore


I do not know if we will be the same, When we meet again
But I believe we will recognize each other, it will be beautiful
The stars will shine again, and the moon will amaze us
It will be romantic and just like in the old comic books
About zombies?

See you next year, or in three years
Stay warm in this post-apocalypse,
Take care of yourself, good dreams
Goodnight my sweet slothcore

Goodnight my sweet slothcore,
Goodnight my sweet slothcore,
Goodnight my sweet slothcore,
Goodnight my sweet slothcore,

See you next year, or in three years
Stay warm in this post-apocalypse,
Take care of yourself, good dreams
Good night my sweet slothcore

Goodnight my sweet slothcore
Goodnight my sweet prince
Goodnight my sweet princess
See you next year, next year

Goodnight My Sweet Slothcore

Lyrics
Atomic Dawn Hermit

I don't know if we misunderstood
I need a moment of time for this
I'm going to go read a book
I need to correct my eyes.

There are times when I can't hear
I don't know if it's always my fault
I don't want to accuse
It's just the way it is sometimes.

And I walk through the meadow alone
Though you may be beside me
And you accept, how, I am
And I do the same.

Leaves are falling from the trees
The street is completely empty
The wind blows your head away
We are very calm now.

The atomic dawn is already rising
I haven't gone to bed yet
Sometimes I'm a hermit
And I need to be alone.

Atomic dawn is coming
I wake up from my dreams
Today, I am a hermit
And I need solitude.

The atomic dawn is coming
People are running to the shelter
Now I am a hermit
I bring light and peace to us.

Atomic Dawn Hermit

Start All Over is the first of the songs I wrote during this year's FAWM.org songwriting challenge.

Start All Over

verse 1
I am calculating
my freedom out in space.
I'll be a shooting rocket,
leaving just a vapor trace.
I'm taking measured steps 
every single day.
Each one gets me closer
to be farther away from you.

prechorus:
It's taken all I have to find the power to go.
Am I ever going to make it? Feel like I'm moving way too slow.
chorus:
My destination is really anywhere,
Away from you and this atrocity.
I've got to get this rocket in the air
and reach Escape Velocity.

verse 2:
I'm captured in your orbit,
where the atmosphere is thin,
I push and push, and bounce right back,
in your grip, I spin.
I'm trying to keep trying,
moving faster all the time,
until I reach the needed speed
To finally get what's mine some day.

Bridge:
If I could just lift off,
I know what I would do,
Get myself going fast enough.
the science will see me through.
It would lift me up
It would lift me up
Doot, doot, etc
[repeat prechorus and chorus]

Escape Velocity

Regret is just a weight

We are not on hold

Finally got around to recording a song I wrote during FAWM 2023.
If you enjoy listening to "At Night Comes the Rain", kindly let me know in a comment. It'll help motivate me to record more of these. -MW

At Night Comes The Rain

I'll be posting my original music here, but check out the links provided for music I create with other people:

Bremen Town (gigging around Central Coast, CA)
Sugar Still with Charlie Cheney

I write songs and play them on my shiny black guitar. Press play for a cromulent sonic experience.

Christine Winchester is a singer/songwriter who lives in the Philadelphia, PA area with her husband and music partner, David C. Perry. Together they have performed live together for years as Winchester/Perry. Please visit her Playlist page for collections of her most recent self-produced music. Christine is a fan of indie rock and modern pop music and strives to weave those production styles into her folky, story-telling lyrics. Her background in musical theater can't help but sneak out here and there, too. Her powerful vocal sound is reminiscent of singers of the past such as Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Karen Carpenter, as well more modern voices such as Amy Mann, Alanis Morrisette, and Brandi Carlile.
