FAWM: "Mixtape"

Mixtape

2025 by @zecoopMod

Liner Notes

Do you remember making that awesome mixtape for a special someone? I certainly do. I made a ton and curated the song lists so carefully, making sure the perfect songs were on there in the exact right order. There was an art to it! I even named the tapes I made for people. I still have a few of the ones I made for my (now) wife. :)

This song was written for @loveonamixtape but I didn't get to write it until the last of FAWM, so it will have to be finished later. (unless Ash pulls a last minute miracle!)

Well, this is it for me! It has been a wonderful FAWM and I love it more than I ever have. This community is incredibly special and unique. FAWM has changed me musically and continues to inspire me every year. Thanks for another amazing journey!

Such a great vintage feel to this. Classic rock/powerpop. Catchy like crazy. Love the guitar in what I assume would be the verse. So good

I remember doing that all the time! before that magic word playlist existed. great driving, screaming for a buddy vocal! cool.music.

I suppose it's all Spotify playlists now, isn't it? 😬 I'm just going to keep this simple: this ROCKS! The tones, the flow, the staccato riffs... ah, I have such happy ears 😍

@harryklippton 2025

This rocks! I hope to hear the finished song. Lots of promise here

making mix tapes was such an artform. Especially trying to get everything on there so noting got cut off at the very end. This sounds great. Nice and clear and I love the upbeat energy.

Wonderful production, great energy and dance-ability, i wanna see this one in concert!

@briggs 2025

Love the organic sound here, and I look forward to the finished product. I still have a box of mixtapes in the attic, with the good intention to digitize them … someday. I could envision this tune on one of them.

Great tune to finish this month with! I have to say that Harley Benton instruments sound very convincingly. It was a great month indeed. A lot of inspiration to fuel oneself until the next fawm!
