Liner Notes

I’m busy all day and night on the 28th, so I had to write my fourteenth tonight. The only way I was going to be able to finish the lyrics before 2am was to be silly. So I wrote about FAWM and finishing my fourteenth.

Thanks, FAWM, for another great, inspiring February!

Lyrics

Everybody’s FAWMing Nobody is listening Everybody’s trying to write their last song Just put groove down Makin no changes to it Don’t give a fuck if it’s good or all wrong

Fourteen Number fourteen It’s just a goal but I feel like I’ve won Fourteen I know my wife is glad Not about fourteen But that I am done

Everybody’s FAWMing Nobody is sleeping Everybody’s staying up late writing tunes
Sure had a good time Especially with Bractune We listened, encouraged And howled at the moon

Fourteen Number fourteen It’s boring and stupid But it’s all I’ve got Fourteen Carley writes a hundred I bow to her But for me fourteen’s a lot

Everybody’s FAWMing I am really happy I have been creating And loving it all I will do it next year And again the next year It’s a great tradition And I have ball

Everybody’s FAWMing Nobody’s a loser If we write one song We’ve won

Wow Jeff, thanks for including me in this! This has such a good, cinematic cross-the-finish-line feel to it. And every line is relatable! Even those of us who wrote a few more than 14 know this feeling, and the end is spot-on: if one song exists now, that wouldn't have existed before, it's a win. This song is definitely a winner.

Whoa, thanks for the shout-out Jeff...always love the interactions with you in Feb. Congrats on 14! This song is really strong...I dig the feel of it, and the narrow scope of people who understand this will be able to relate to it 100%! Nice work on this, .....and the rest of the month!
