Love Is Empathy
Liner Notes
Too late to be recording here unfortunately but will definitely have my demo up in the morning at some point. Just need to get the lyrics up here so I can say “okay move onto the next one, you got one more day and one more song to hit 14” lol Here’s to the end of FAWM!! #rock #blues #acoustic #singersongwriter #acousticonetake UPDATE: Demo added!!! Played it on a different guitar for the first time during this FAWM challenge. This is a new acoustic parlor guitar I bought for bringing to parks and kinda my new beater guitar instead of lugging around my more expensive stage guitar all the time. It’s an Ibanez PN-1, which is this weird peanut/pear shaped body and I haven’t restrung it yet so it’s still got factory strings and sounds a bit strange at the moment to me 🤣 but I wanted to give it a go in this recording.
Lyrics
How many bridges do you gotta burn? Now that you can’t cross, will you learn? You over stepped now you cant turn You, you ain’t even concerned
But will you live to see Pain is love and love is empathy
You have tried to break your little mold Do the things that you are told Thought you’d be wiser when you’re old You live your life to be so bold
But will you live to see Pain is love and love is empathy
Done taking risks you shouldn’t take Don’t put forth a life you shouldn’t make Loneliness rides along with your heartache And runs into the desert as it fades
But will you live to see Pain is love and love is empathy
Fleeting emotions keep me here, oh Wild erosions keep you away from me, oh yeah
Will you live to see Pain is love and I got no sympathy

You stayed cool Janele! Your voice is huge and the song is wonderfully crafted. From the lyrics to the performance it all lands! Nice one!
This is fantastic! Omg, what a voice, and the guitar playing is awesome! Too bad I didn't find your profile until after FAWM!
A great passionate song. Love little parlour guitars, I was just discussing this with a friend at open mic this week!
Heck yeah, I relate to this so much.I wrote a similar song about empathy.And I connect to your lyrics.I also really like your style of song writing.You use really nice juicy and crunchy words. I feel this pain.
