ZeCoop:
I am SO excited to get to write a song with Ashley Brewer this year! I find it amazing that you can be here each year and yet never run into some FAWMers, and Ashley has been on FAWM since 2015. Well, after hearing her song Sabrina Says and adding drums/bass to it, I asked her to collaborate on another. As I did last year, I wrote and recorded a bunch of drum 'songs' on cassettes using my Tascam 8-track recorder. Then I listened through them and picked one to write a song to. It went really fast with some tremolo electric guitar first, acoustic, bass and finally electric piano. I sent it over and luckily she liked it! When I got her vocals today, I had to wait until work was done (ugh!!), but WOW, she just nailed the vibe and belted out an awesome vocal. I am so excited to be able to collaborate with amazing talents like Ashley - Thank you!!!

Ashley:
*weeps with joy* I've gotten to do so many collabs this year with amazing FAWMers, best FAWM ever *sobs* Seriously, I've been having a blast collabing this year, and as ZeCoop said, after he epic-ified my song, Sabrina Says, we agreed we both wanted to do a proper collab before FAWM was over. I was REALLY into the track he sent me, and the kind of dark Western vibe, which I was happy to lean into having just read "The Old Gringo" not to mention too much Cormac McCarthy. I also bust out my Big Girl pipes for this song, which is always fun. For some reason I also got "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" in my head as I was listening to the track and writing the vocal and lyrics, so I leaned into that a bit, too, with the contrasts of the faster vocal lines with the more open vocal lines, and the "Boy" repetitions. So glad to have gotten to know @zecoop's stuff and collab this year -- thanks again for a super fun collab!

lyrics

You must be new around here
Let me give you a word of advice….

Head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures circling….

So head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures feed on open hearts

Boy, you’ve been warned
That not every corner of the world
Is looking for a helping hand
And where I’m from
You’re only worth
What you can demand
Or the price that you command

Head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures circling

They know a fresh foal on its own
Is only a matter of time

So head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures feed on open hearts

Just like yours
So keep it closed

So boy, don’t be brave
I’ve eaten bigger hearts than yours
Folded in tortillas
But because I find it sweet
How you tipped your hat to me
And called me senorita

And because my own heart still must have
A little glimmer of sympathy left
I’ll give you fair warning
But I’ll only say this once
So lean your fresh young ear to my lips
And heed this:

Head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures circling

They know a fresh foal on its own
Is only a matter of time

So head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures feed on open hearts

Just like yours
So keep it closed

Don’t let them see that you’re afraid
And I won’t let them see me watch you walking away

Head down!
Eyes low!
The vultures….

Boy…
Boy…

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
