First song on FAWM.org – I may have taken leave of my senses

Yes, I’ve decided to take the February Album Writing Month challenge. I may be mad. But, if all goes well, you’ll be hearing a new song from me every two days for the month of Febraury, plus a collaboration (don’t yet know who with) on the 29th.

My first song is up, and it makes use of vague ideas you might have heard before.

Ideas to steal if you want:

  • The four chord shapes in the verse all use the open B string
  • The bridge happens after the second verse and before the second (and last) chorus.
