Hello! Really sorry, I totally missed your response on my soundboard about that. I would still like to do it, although I'm taking a bit of a break from songwriting whilst I work out what to do with all of these songs. If I don't do it sooner, I'll do it for FAWM! Apologies again :-)

Thank you for your kind comment on He Had His Way With Me. ;) I'm so glad we managed to get it up just before the shades were drawn on 50/90.
It's downloadable now. I'd unticked the box because Calum will probably do more things to the song, but there's no reason it can't be downloaded in the meantime.

Howdy,
Well, I had 2 options for "Batteries..." and I went with the folky version instead of the lounge music version. I shall add a demo momentarily now that it's day 90 of 90. :)

I have a couple half songs/collab demos I'm checking with the other person. Hoping to have time Thursday/Friday evenings and Saturday to finish and post them, so all going well with the internet I will have at least 50 songs posted come Saturday :D
Thanks for the help and support, it's invaluable :)

Congratulations on smashing 50.

Thanks on Princess Of The Dawn---
""""low irish whistle or flute. A celtic folk style head tune"""""
Yeah,I hadn't thought of it but that'd work---Dang,I don't think I got a single Celtic collab on 50/90 this year.
I love the traditional Celtic music.
And congrats on hitting 50 if I didn't say that already

Thanks man! Prog rock isn't something I ever considered doing, but once DD got started I was a zombie walking to the light. I really dig his guitar work on this one. Glad I could muddle through.

gerrybhoy

34 weeks 23 hours ago

Jeez! That's brilliant, what a compliment! I'm glad you thought the song good enough. Knock yourself out, it would be great to hear your version of any of my tunes, particularly sitting right in front of you with a nice beer in New Zealand!

Thanks for the comment. Never been compared to Morrison before! I'll take it.

As I just explained on my song page, I'm not apologizing for my lyrics, just explaining how they came to be. I like 'em well enough. I'm wrestling with lyrics this summer (oh, summer's over, innit). I can't seem to write--or don't really feel honest writing, which amounts to the same thing--the kind of (faux-)sincere songwritery stuff that seems to be the implicit goal of a lot of people. But I don't really like it when people write "poetry" of the sort you find in teenagers journals, which I see a lot of here. So I'm trying to figure out what I *can* write. I guess I wrote what I wrote more as an exploration of that than an apology. You and Tina are two of my favorite lyricists here, here, and I value your feedback a lot--so don't think I'm being down on myself (I am, in innumerable ways, but not this one).

No there wasn't any lyric rearrangement needed, just put up as a collab on this one, here's the current URL for the scratch piano recording. Vocals will have to wait till I'm back, about 10 Oct. Or you can sing it! fairly simple melody from the piano. http://flyingtadpole.com/fawm5090-2011/FATCHEN_I'm_regressing.mp3

Tim Fatchen

Lets do "regressing" as a new post, as there's a bit of lyric re-arrangement from memory, but not till I've got something (today, tomorrow if it's going to happen).

congrats in advance, you're about to get to 50!

the demo for 'class warfare' is posted, by the way... (since you wanted to know).

Tim Fatchen

49! one to go (and I've realised I did write a tune for "I'm regressing"...I'd better find it...)

Now: [quote]"the dangers of driving through Dimboola became legendary." LOL I've heard the same said about Bordertown and Keith from folks on this side[/quote]

Piffle! Bordertown/Keith only responded in retaliation to the Dimboola cop. he was there first (1950s and 1960s)! Eventually SA gave up and put the speed limit between Bordertown and the border down to 100kph so we would all have time to acclimatise to the slower pace of life in Victoria.

Thanks for the compliment by the way: I'm trying to get that one published in its own write.

LOL B K-----I love the chorus as it is but I could almost see the latin phrase being part of the chorus as well
I had the phrase as the hook in the Chorus instead of my phrase but wasn't sure it was working , so just before I posted it, I took it out. However, I'll look at incorporating it as "Part" of the C. I hadn't thought about that.
Thanks

"""I would love to hear the whole song done sultry cabaret style"""" There ya' go B K!!
I may incorporate that into the tags or liner notes in case there are any sultry voiced women around

Thanks for your kind comments on If I Could Do Anything. That's a great idea about repeating the, do what I want/should, lines at the end there!

acapellastutter

Thanks for the comment! No need to feel bad! The song has nothing to do with me right now. I just needed to write something. Half of it is just fragments of other songs I started put together!

wyatt

35 weeks 5 days ago

Thanks on the 50 B K. Actually, I owe it about 3 more for a few that didn't really qualify, but I've got at least 2 more in the formative stage.
You're within striking distance yourself
As far as more musication, got at least a couple more in the possible section. I already have more than I ever figured on

35 weeks 5 days ago

Hey, thank YOU for letting me work on the song - a good lyric tells you where it wants to go, I think. I just followed it.

It's a really good somg, I think!

Thanks Peter for the kind comments on my collab with Nadia and rittmo (Today and Everyday).
Needless to say, or rather, been said before, they are fantastic to team up with. Looking to
get into your songs too. New Zealand must be a lovely place to hang your hat!
