White Spiders

Liner Notes

From Beth: I had a super weird dream the other night about these gigantic white spiders in my room, so I posted about it on my facebook page. Liz saw my post, and of course, turned it into awesome lyrics! Fun fact, the earth will actually stop spinning if Liz and I don't collab on at least one FAWM song annually, so, like you're welcome planet. Liz posted an AI version of this song, which I have yet to listen to, but I ain't afraid of no 'bot! 😄

FROM Liz: First, I thought this was a cool dream with, in my opinion, the white “spiders” reaching into all of these personal spaces of ours and threatening so much of our humanity
. Second, and most importantly, this really really rocks in the best way!!! Beth did an amazing job bringing out the message! So grateful for her time, talent, and gift of music! Much better than AI!!! And Beth, if you and other FAWMers want to put all my lyrics to music, I will never use AI again! Thanks for the awesome collab! 💜

Lyrics

White Spiders

VERSE 1 I woke up from a dream a dream I could not shake I shivered like a child a child with their life at stake I cried out in the dark the dark of my own fear hoping someone would hear me hoping you would be there

CHORUS white spiders in the corners of Our room creeping fast spinning frightening Webs of doom casting doubts with their Poisonous untruths white spiders They’re coming for you

VERSE 2 I put my head under my quilt my quilt stitched up with love I prayed for strength, for peace for peace and wisdom above I tried to recall good times good times that I could trust hoping someone would help me hoping love would be enough


REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE They can never hurt us with truth on our side x3 They can never hurt us with love as our guide
.

REPEAT CHORUS

Really like the vibe of this song and the lyrics are amazing. The chorus and percussion are just perfect. Let's hope they can never hurt us...they ARE everywhere.

This song has such a killer energy—definitely got that cool vibe with a mix of grit and emotion! The ‘white spiders’ metaphor is so striking, and the chorus is super powerful. I love how the bridge brings in that hopeful defiance—really ties it all together!

This is the best story of lyric creation and sing formation. Yes! Love the 80’s feel and the double time at the end! Rock on!!!

This really hits home for me, I got bitten on the arm by a white tail spider about 4 months ago and it still itches. Awesome song and great lyrics. Love it despite the memories đŸ•¶

This rocks so hard! Love that effortless, cool vibe. It has an appropriate amount fear factor in there. Spiders do be creepy. Really good metaphor. The build to the end is great. Loved it!

Creepy but in the most fun way! I think this would pack the dance floor especially during the month of October! :)
