FAWM has been a really nice distraction and I'm going to miss it.
Lyrics
Don’t make me go back out there Things are crazy right now I’ve been trying to keep my head down I’ve been succeeding somehow But all the tension all around me Has been slowly seeping in So I’ve known that it’s coming And I know it will come again These days it’s like it’s everywhere Don’t make me go back out there
Don’t make me go back out there Try to right all those wrongs That’s really high above my pay grade I really only write songs But I know that is a luxury That I can no longer afford Man I wish we could go back to The days of being happy and bored We can’t afford to not care But don’t make me go back out there
Wondering why I shoot the moon Why I do it all for the sake of a tune It’s because it’ll all be over soon
Don’t make me go back out there I’m not ready to fight I’m gonna sit here squeezing every drop Out of my Friday night I’m gonna keep the party rolling It’s just a party of one But I’ll get out the old Victrola We’re gonna have a lot of fun I’m not giving in to despair But don’t make me go back out there

Fabulous distillation of how many of us feel in the midst of the madness.

Great fade, and so much fun to hear a bluesy tune. I love the energy and the message.

Ha, I clicked on this one because I like the title, and to see it's kinda sorta about Fawm and this special thing we have is cool. I like that wish we could go back to being happy and bored line....also I like your bridge here, sometimes I feel like it's hard to write a bridge to a blues tune because our ears just want to hear that I-IV-V once it gets going, but this really works here

Nice!!!! Feels like you are channeling what I’ve been trying to say all Fawm! You of course do it so well! Baritone for the win, too…

Oh yeah... LOVE this. Especially verse 2 - I really identify with this.

LOVED this song … it pretty much captured my post-FAWM feeling over the past couple days. (FAWM was a great distraction from the craziness of the real world.) My favorite lyric was the wordplay on right wrongs and write songs. Brilliant!

Superb and effortless vocal performance (as always). I love the echo on the track. Lyrics are great fun and I love the “whoo!’ and fade out at the end.

A lot of bounce and a helping of relatability. The way you've written it, I think (and hope) this song will age well for when the problems "out there" are fewer and more mundane.
