Found and Lost

Liner Notes
Well, this is it friends: last day of FAWM and my one and only song this year that isn't a skirmish or a collaborative challenge. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface and I'm just warming up. Anyone else with me on this?
Lyrics
I don’t know where this month went walking to
but it got away from me -- it went high and I went low
And like a fool I followed it and I found myself alone
I meant to feel my way through many things that I’ve been needing to get out But time is up, it all blew by me in an instant and it’s melting like the snow into the ground One day I’ll honour what I found...
It’s time to go -- the round is over I blinked and now it’s gone and now I’m running out the clock And it’s too late to say how much I think I’ve changed I wish there was more time to talk One day I’ll honour what I lost... One day I’ll honour what I found... One day I’ll honour what I lost... I wish there was more time to talk...

Same here. Really cool tune, Debs! And hey we'll be back next year and we'll do it all again but better!
If you have more songs in you wanting to get out, please keep writing! You can find audiences who want to listen to you outside of FAWM.
So relatable! That chord progression in the verse, though, that's so smooth.
The whimsical nature of this is just lovely. The lyrics remind me a little of the stream-of-consciousness journal type songs like Courtney Barnett and the like, but musically it's much more interesting than that kind of thing. Lovely end to FAWM :)
This has such a lovely melody! It makes my ears happy, even though the song is bittersweet.
What a cool way to describe the end of FAWM, and endings in general. Lovely, lilting, bittersweet, a bit jazzy - awesome!
Very fine wrap up song. I can relate to this. I got a late start and it's been a month full of unusual minor and some major emergencies that had to take precedence. But I've enjoyed every moment I could steal for fawming.
Nice song to celebrate FAWM. Beautiful vocal melodies. The lyrics have tinge of regret but I take it with a positive spin. For me the month has been most enjoyable and productive since last FAWM.
Thanks again for hosting the morph challenge. One of the highlights of the month for sure!
This sounds great! You have a really nice voice! I really like the lyrics. "I don’t know where this month went walking to but it got away from me -- it went high and I went low." The line is great and really sets the tone! The melody is great too. Well done!
Really pretty song. And I fully relate. I loved the playfulness of the melody. Particularly that melisma on 'fool'.
