FAWM: "Blue Creatures"

Blue Creatures

Liner Notes

#randomcollab for Nadia and myself that I pulled Travis in when I came up with a concept that I was going to be hard pressed to pull off in the time remaining for FAWM. It's also my birthday, so I'm doing birthday stuff during those final hours.

It took awhile for @musicsongwriter and I to get on the same page, like the Greens and the Orange for those who love a geo-political analogy or an Irish Rover banger. I eventually came up with something that we both liked, but it required chopping up one or her arrangements and while I live by the almighty "click", she worships at the alter of "flow"... you didn't think I was going to drop that Green / Orange divide that easy, did you?

Luckily @djtjb and @nahlej381 came in as a rabbi in this very strained metaphor and pulled it all together.

It's FAWM, so everything is a work in progress, but this maybe even a little more so. We intended to come back to this in the off-season.

Lyrics

[Chorus] Call it the Headline blues, But I can't refuse, These blue creatures keep harassing me. I read the daily news, Lord I'm so confused, Trying to understand what it means.

[Verse] I need a new hustle, to get by One where I can find my stride I need a new boss, and a job One where I can feel pride I need to stock-up, for a rainy day Cause the skies are cloudy all the time.

[Chorus] Might be the Monday blues, But I can't refuse, These blue creatures keep harassing me. I keep paying dues But can't seem to move Before I'm replaced by machinery

[Verse] I need another bin, for the waste That keeps piling up each day Reduce and reuse, seem like the key But that doesn't help the GDP I'm trying desperately, but I'm losing ground With each package from delivery

[Chorus] Feels like the Climate Blues, But I can't refuse, These blue creatures keep harassing me. Icebergs start to ooze, and I feel a fool, for using plastic cutlery

[Bridge] I'm gonna take a nap Wake me when we're back, To something that don't feel so surreal

Perhaps it's just the way, but it sure feels strange With more issues than I'm built to deal.

Feeds all filled with rage Hoping I'll engage ...and like and idiot I swipe for more

Getting a little hate tossed in your every day Sure makes you hungry for the taste of war

[Chorus] Call it be the Conflict Blues, But I can't refuse, These blue creatures keep harassing me. Someone lit the fuse, No matter win or lose, All the profits in artillery.

[Chorus] Might be the Headline blues, But I can't refuse, These blue creatures are harassing me. I read the daily news, Lord I'm so confused, Trying to understand what it all means.

Well, they’re not the Practioners for nothing! Very interesting approach to this collaboration and even more interesting is the result of said approach. This has such a uniqueness because of the effects, instrumentation and chopping and mixing Nadia’s composition. 🤔very interesting. I’m also attracted to the lyrics and your vocal delivery. There’s a familiarity that I can’t quite identify. This requires another listen…

@codeenergy 2025

Bluesy blue boy! This track could have gone many directions but @spazsquatch vocal tone is really locking it in. @nahlej381 and @djtjb really keep this instrumental changing and grooving. Dope stuff!

@theenglishassassin 2025

Wonderful vibe and a very original production really adds to the feel. A tough subject really cleverly done.

@mtanguay 2025

There is so much going on here. Great lyrics, bluesy accompaniment, and gravelly vocals that are right in the pocket for this tune. A terrific listen!

This is a great track. Nice piano melodies, sampling is a cool addition, vocal delivery works well for the piece and the lyrics are poignant. Great random collab fleshed out by a talent crew!
