#folkpop #pop #folk, #girlwithguitar I like this song, I'm hoping I will work on it again, but having lots of issues with my recording and Soundcloud, so it is all that it can be at the moment.

Lyrics

I'm Searching for You
by Tammy Jann
© 2025

I am waiting for your message in a bottle for a wizard with a love spell am I waiting for you?

I am hoping for a paper airplane pilot a gardner with violets am I hoping for you?

chorus I'm searching, searching for my muse looking for a love that's true I'm searching for you

I'm wondering if you're hiking in a forest world traveler or a tourist wondering about you

I'm dreaming of a gamer that can't lose or a sailer on a cruise do you dream of me too?

bridge when you're with me
we will be together together is better better than lonely you'll by my one and only

Outro I'm waiting, I'm hoping I'm wondering, I'm dreaming I'm searching.....for you

I like how the verses are structured with the declaration, the metaphor, the expansion of the metaphor, the question. Neat tune

very sweet and wistful - something that e'one can relate to, when waiting for love to come into our lives

Really like this, especially the chorus. But also love the paper airplane pilot. A lot to love about this one. Definitely one to work up.

Good stuff, by all means rework after FAWM but this is great and a delight just as is. Without owing anything to it, this brings to mind "If you were a sailboat", and I seriously think this lyric melody and harmony is at that level. Which is why I think you should work on it post-FAWM!

Waiting, searching, hoping, dreaming. This gives the song a nice parallel structure. Sounds good, too! I especially like this: "I am hoping for a paper airplane pilot"

Ah, your gorgeous voice and evocative melody! So much longing, and hoping that the one you're searching for is also searching for you. It makes me hope too.

I like these lyrics so very much!! I've had similar feelings so many times in my life. I bet most people will relate to these. The song is extremely well composed. So familiar and yet so unique at the same time. I was instanly hooked, The chorus and the bridge are ultra excellent and catchy. Im happily humming along to my third listen as I type. This is one of my favs of yours, and Ive loved so many of them. You are such an accomplished songwriter Tammy...

What a lovely sweet melody. Beautiful performance too. It makes me hope this person will find the perfect person she's longing for. Wonderful song.

Lovely vocal and a music track that just sails along beautifully. Nice harms. I always appreciate a good bridge and you've got one here. I arrived on your page because of the comments you made on Almost Feels Like Love. I love how this works!

So laid back and dreamy - love those 70s jazzy folk melodies and the harmony vocal on the chorus. It sounds really pure and lovely. The percussion is a good touch - keeps things rolling on nicely. The bridge is perhaps the best part - very powerful. One of your best!

Beautiful song and sentiment. Hope is in the air filled with magic and love. Gorgeous vocals and playing. Such a pleasure to listen to your song, Tammy.

Great melodic line and a solidly evocative lyric -- You have done a wonderful job with this song. Enjoyed the tempo shift of the bridge a lot.

[avatar]

Such pretty vocal melodies especially on the bits that are doubled. The idea of a paper airplane pilot is absolutely brilliant.

[avatar]

First, the melody line is amazing, especially the verse. And its made even better by fantastic vocals.

Second, I love love the lyrics. The cycle through waiting/hoping/wondering/dreaming/back to waiting gives the song a very tense, expectant feel that's matched by that excellent melody line I mentioned above. The second stanza is my favorite with the image of a paper airplane pilot. That line, to me, sums up the emotion of wistful longing.

Fantastic piece of music.

We'll have to discuss production on this, there's a world of possibilities with this melody and music.

So Nice! Of course your lovely voice and that wonderful acoustic guitar really shine. The percussion and the fine lyric and harmonies add to the overall smooth vibe here. Glad I searched this out, my friend!

What a gorgeous vocal on a terrific song. Super impressive, Tammy. One of the very prettiest things on FAWM I've heard this year for sure. My compliments.

[avatar]

Oh, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell. Lyrics are beautiful and your voice, especially in that soaring upper range, is magnificent. Just lovely.

[avatar]

Beautiful Tammy, your voice just gets better and better... and I love the lyrics... (-I spent a day trying to get my mics to work and realised after several hours I had forgotten to assign them to a port... sometimes I just hate machinery..) but I love this, I'm going to put it on all morning.. thank you so much.

Pretty tune and arrangement, and some nice lyrics. I especially like the idea of a paper airplane pilot.

both pain and optimism flavor this deep lyric that boasts some imaginative rhymes such as pilot/violets and forest/tourist. the search for one's soulmate throughout an incarnation that has separated them is a theme i am very drawn to these days. it seems impossible but so often eventually comes true. vocals capture the intensity of the search.

When played in front of a live audience, I bet there will be people raising their hands at the end of this song saying: 'I'm right here babe' Great listen!
