I posted a song on FAWM today. Strictly speaking, it does not qualify. The song was started last February, left in limbo for a year, and resumed this year. I posted a demo of us playing it this morning at Wood Burning Cat practice. Below is the demo and the full lyrics. Tentatively, this song is titled "Radio Waves," though I may change that down the road.


If I had it my way
I would just work the whole damn day
Until I'm too tired to do anything but sleep
And when I would drop
free from the burden of my thoughts
I wouldn't have to think of how I'm wasting all my time

I now apprehend
that this is a means without an end
And I am as far behind as I have ever been
And some would suggest
that you should just do what you like best
But if they knew what that meant they'd probably disagree
Cause I hate the things I love and they hate me

I spent the last six months living aboard a satellite
Orbiting miles above the surface of the Earth
Broadcasting radio waves to a discreet antenna
On an Earthly robot that looks quite a bit like me
And I see everything it sees through a small black and white TV
And it does most the things that I ask it to do
But I can't grab it's robot jaws and issue one simple request
Please just stop filling me with fuel
Please just stop filling me with fuel
