2025 is my 14th FAWM! That feels like some kind of FAWM win in itself! a FAWM of FAWMS! I write some #comedy songs, some just whatever songs (most usually have at least a "warm, gentle #humour (#humor) ", some are more "serious".), I like writing songs about everyday things "finding the humanity in mundanity, and the hilarity in familiarity". This FAWM I would like to focus on writing more songs that I can perform live, and finding my niche / balance between comedy/"serious". Some songs are recording-only songs that I couldn't possibly do live but I also try to get some "keepers" for live gigs. I have no idea what will come out of this FAWM and I'm looking forward to some games, skirmishes and challenges. Most of all I just like being part of it! I run a little open mic in Tottenham, Ramshackle Collective that has been going for about two and a half years now and has evolved into a lovely little community, growing all the time as newcomers say "That's a lovely vibe you got going here, will definitely be back" kinda things. So get in touch any local (London N15) FAWMers cos we'd love to have you play!

My Personal AI Statement (FAWM 2025)

ChatGPT is a companion and tool in many areas of my life—I use it every day, not just creatively. It’s very helpful to me for all sorts of things, from formulating thoughts and knocking ideas around to research, problem-solving, therapy, and help to focus and prioritise.

In songwriting, it helps me distil my thoughts, research, and explore different angles — Plus I enjoy the company as I write a song! Like a thesaurus, RhymeZone, or Addictive Drums 2 (which provides live drummer MIDI loops that I arrange), it’s part of my creative process.

I don’t use AI to generate lyrics, melodies, or arrangements. My songwriting is mine, but AI helps me process my ideas along the way.

Happy FAWMing!

Thank you for the kind comments Wobbie, you brought a lot of fun to the table this year! This was a pretty intense year on multiple levels, but it fueled a lot of art...this is the way. Cheers!!!

Congrats on the win! Thanks so much for the comments!

Thanks for enjoying and commenting, I can't claim the phrase though, "the soft animal of your body" is American poet Mary Oliver's line from her poem Wild Geese, part of which was quoted in the prompt (and my liner notes TBF). https://images.app.goo.gl/U2eDsgaKEu43Hpzk6

Thanks for listening to Dating App Disappointment and I'm glad you found the last line rhythm funny! My favorite part too.

Wotcha! I finally wrote that autocorrect song I’ve been threatening to write for years. I’d love you to listen as it was in one of our chats I first got the idea! https://write.fawm.org/songs/308028

Hi, Wobbie. Thanks so much for checking out Jangle Rock. Funny how some of the pop stuff I enjoy listening to the most calls for vocals more on the tenor part of the spectrum and I'm pretty much stuck splashing around in the other end of the pool. And with a hillbilly accent to boot. So, probably my last foray into that genre for a while, but thank you kindly for the nice comments.

Thanks for listening Wobbie, I had to go back and listen again after your comments, I thought the chirping was just my tinnitus. 😀

Hi, again,@wobbie. Thanks for your "comments, part 2" on Winds of Indifference. I really appreciate your added mention!

[avatar]

Oh, @wobbie! You've made my day with your wonderful reaction to Winds of Indifference, my collab with @housewystan. When I heard what she sent me, I had the same reaction you did! What a talented partner she is! Thank you for your comments!

[avatar]

…hi wobbie - i was not aware of any delay?! - thank you for the (perfect!) upload of your lyrics - i am curious to read them - great to have you in the song…

Howdy Wobbie. Wow! I'm digging your trailer. Pretty cool. And I'm not surprised any crowd where you perform digs you. How can they not? At any rate, happy FAWMing!

I just followed your "Lottie Doesn't Like It" in the fake band name thread with "Maybe She Does". I see you contributing to that thread a bit, and I find it tempting to put in long strings of suggested names, but I don't want to hog a whole alphabet. I love "Lottie Doesn't Like It" as a band name. You should try to copyright that one.
