FAWM: "We Should Break Up!"

We Should Break Up!

Liner Notes

Try to make a fawm song over 3 minutes challenge failed. But making 14 songs in a month, unambiguously completed now

Lyrics

I would tell you to speak your thoughts And I'd speak mine at the same time But I'm afraid, we'd say different things But the sentiment will stay the same But we can't make out what we say

We should break up And we'll be better off You take your stuff and I'll take mine And we'll be fine And we'll be fine

To the disappointment of our closest friends We never said we'd stay until the end Now that everything is crashing down What will you grab from the dust cloud? It won't be my arm I know that much

We should break up And we'll be better off You take your stuff and I'll take mine And we'll be fine And we'll be fine

Oh all the little love we had Now it's leaving, aren't you glad? We knew it could never last What do you say we both part ways? And we never share a word

We should break up And we'll be better off You take your stuff and I'll take mine And we'll be fine And we'll be fine

We should break up We should break up We should break up We should break up

I really like the chorus with its vocal treatment and buzzy synth and the busy percussion. The riff in the back that repeats throughout pushes the song along. Great throwaway line: "It won't be my arm I know that much"!

“We should break up And we'll be better off” is pretty catchy! I love the electronic accompaniment, so magical to contrast the words! First time I’m hearing of that challenge, hoo boy…I can’t even bring myself to do one of those one hour things. Mad props to getting something in minutes, even if it’s more than three!
