These are the initial demo recordings posted during FAWM (February Album Writing Month) back in 2021. The quality is rough, and the topics generally dark. At the time this collection of songs was penned, I was suffering from extreme vertigo, debilitating side effects of various medications the doctors were using to try to help me recover had me limited to my bed and fading fast, all while my wife was suffering from stroke like symptoms and falling apart herself. The entire month's writing and recording found here was done from bed with my recording rig and instruments constantly at my bedside. I don't believe any songs from FAWM 2021 were ever performed live, so these recordings are the only snapshot i have of pushing through and holding on to something I love during that time..
Note, FAWM is a 14 new songs in 1 month challenge. 12 songs are included in this compilation, as 2 songs were collaboration pieces, and not mine alone to share.
Reviewing my songs it really put perspective on how far I've come since that two years of utter darkness. I may not be 100%, but I have my life back.
