I saw Phylo's open call to demo and took the opportunity to do a quick guy with guitar acoustic blues (on a single mic) take. Thanks!
Lyrics
V Well, the calendar flips, February rolls around I'm locked in my studio, while no one's around Fourteen songs to write, but my brain’s on the fritz Every line feels like, this tune might be it
CH Got the low down dirty FAWM blues Locked away, I hang with my muse My baby’s callin’, but I ain't coming through I got the low down, dirty FAWM blue
V I feel day five come and coffee's runnin' dry I’m scribblin’ on napkins, it's makin' me cry Every chord feels wrong, every rhyme is a mess Drowning in the pressure, nothing but FAWM stress
CH Got the low down dirty FAWM blues Locked away, I hang with my muse My baby’s callin’, but I ain't coming through I got the low down, dirty FAWM blues
BR
The clock keeps on tickin', the days start to blur I’m strummin’ my guitar while thinkin' of her She leaves food at the door, like I’m some kinda ghost I ain’t seen my baby since that Super Bowl post!
V By the twenty-seventh day I’m hangin' by a thread Got a pile of rough drafts and a pain in my head The melodies may be limp and the words barely rhyme But I pray to my muse, just this one last time
CH Still got the low down dirty FAWM blues But her lovin’ pulls me back from that ruse February's over, no more solitude She’s my forever, no more FAWM time blues
OUTRO (spoken) Fourteen songs done Now I need now some lovin' We should take a little rest, now 'Cause Fifty Ninety ain't a-comin'

Who doesn't love a good famw meta song? The low down dirty rhyme on blues - muse is a perfect fit on the theme. I would say the part about scribblin on napkins or maybe the pain in my head where my favorites, but so many great gems throughout. The approach of the outro was nice as well.

I saw the lyrics with the call for collab and thought maybe I'd give it a go if nobody else does. I'm glad I didn't, this version made me bob by head and clap my hands, there's no way I would have done anything anywhere this good. 👍

lyrically -- i think every fawmer can relate in some way :D
the blues guitar really brings this song to life.

Classic...a lot of us have been there and done that. And when the audience can relate, you have a hit!

Ha - the struggle is real! Great meta song! "Every line feels like, this tune might be it" is a wonderful summary of the songwriter's craft. Is this the one that's going to take on a life of its own?
