Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022
Song number 14
Written Monday 21st February 2022
This is it … FAWM’s all finished for me… time for a lie down now.
There’s still nearly a week to go, but I’m done, 14 songs written in 16 days…
I’m kinda drained. And I wanna do something else for a bit!
Paramount - A A J Russe
Now the pretty one has gone
And we’re still sitting here
Breathless and shocked
That she’ll never reappear
I can’t believe no-one cried
I still can’t believe how no-one cried
We seem busy with the last
As if nothing has gone wrong
We’re shaken by the past
But still reaching for the song
And I can’t believe how she tried
I still can’t believe how hard she tried
It’s not paramount
That we cry for her
She did her best
Got less than she deserved
It’s not paramount
That we atone
But what the last few hours have shown
It’s paramount we remember her
It’s the little things we find
That make us realise
Alone and scared
A violent surprise
And I can’t believe no-one cared
I still can’t believe that no-one cared
It’s not paramount
That we cry for her
She did her best
Got less than she deserved
It’s not paramount
That we atone
But what the last few hours have shown
It’s paramount we remember her

Amazing how this came towards the end of the challenge...simply gorgeous. I don't hear any fatigue in it. A sad song though and I'm imagining the story behind it. Beautiful.

Well sir, you smashed this challenge - and ended up with a stunning unplugged album. It's made me want to hear some of your established tracks with similar stripped-down arrangements, leading the listener to concentrate on the sheer artistry of your words and astonishingly soulful vocal. Next challenge for you is the 24 hours album. 24 minutes of original music in 24 hours. I believe it originated on alonetone. Off you go.

Wow!!!! Congratulations. All 14 songs were amazing. And this one - quite the pinnacle moment itself. Gut wrenching in parts... especially the chorus. Your writing is always an inspiration to me, and this one certainly has done that job.
