Liner Notes

First song of FAWM!!! SOOOO excited to be back and I’ve been on a big writing kick lately before FAWM started, lots of life changes happening and I’m excited to express this new chapter of life and see what happens this month! Excited to reciprocate and listen to other FAWMers songs, as well!

I wrote this at midnight last night after a gig 😂 I don’t know what to call it just yet, I’m calling it “Read Your Mind” as an obvious title for now… but I will probably change it to something I haven’t decided yet.

This song was inspired by my real life communication skills and the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Lyrics

Say Say what you need to say Say what you mean to say Say anything Crime Is it a crime To waste all my time Wondering

I wanna read your mind Or be inside Cause when you’re gone You’re always in mine

Eyes that cut me down like daggers I can stare at them for hours Not a single word will come to mind Paralyzed by your restriction No one else gets that attention from me I will always be confined

I wanna read your mind Or be inside Cause when you’re gone You’re always in mine

I wanna read your mind Or be inside Cause when you’re gone You’re always in mine

And I wanted to forget you But I can’t sleep and watch my dreams erase Laying on the ice, I feel no pain I’m numb, numb What have I done? No…

I wanna read your mind Or be inside Cause when you’re gone You’re always in mine

I wanna read your mind Or be inside Cause when you’re gone You’re always in mine You’re always in mine You’re always in my mind

Oooh this was a smooth listen. Your vocals reminded me a little of Amy Winehouse on this one, and you have a very nice tone. Great job!

Thank you! Amy is definitely a big influence of mine.

Sweet vibrato - wonderfully emotive singing - dig it. And the groove...

Thanks for listening! Glad you dig!

The I wanna read your mind hook is really great! and the "eyes that cut me.." part is really cool also. Your vocals are also incredible, as always, incredible that you did that one take! Such talent! Very cool openning and very solid framework for a song!

Your guitar and vocals have a wonderful marriage, like they've been dating all their life =)

Pretty much, been playing and writing since 3rd grade … which was 27366372 years ago 😂 I appreciate you! Thanks!

I love hearing your voice again. Your songs and sound feel like they're from another era. I imagine you at GBGB jamming with Patti Smith, straight from the heart to the listeners souls.

Such a compliment, thank you!!! Glad to be back!

Such a great sound! I love the way you're using your voice. The variations in rhythm are really evocative and the languid vocals over steady guitar are a great contrast.

[pic]

Oo, thank you so much! Great feedback!

So soulful! You’ve got a powerful voice, looking forward to hearing more. Happy FAWM!
