February Album Writing Month: https://fawm.org
“Love On 2 Wheels” was collaboratively written and recorded in February 2022, by physically mailing a cassette tape as part of FAWM’s “four-track challenge.” Four “fawmers” contributed one track each, using old-school analog four-track tape decks, and this video tells the story of hoe one song evolved…

★ THE LYRICS ★
I’m the man
you tell him what to do
and I know I could refuse
but what’s the use?
I’ve been sittin’ here for four days
wondering what to say
I’m just thinking about the last time
you flew away
I didn’t know where you’d gone
I didn’t know how long
til I heard our song
I always the love the way
your wheels spin and spin
I always the love the way
you blink and then begin
I didn’t know where you’d gone
I didn’t know for how long
until I heard our song
it’s a mystery to me how you roll
but you’re history to me
there’s magic in your soul
and what I say to you
sounds better than I knew
(it’s better with you too)
you once pulled me like a dream
I put stickers on your seam
I didn’t know where you’d gone
I didn’t know how long
til I heard our song

So amazing and fun to see how these things come together. In awe.
So fun to watch! It really makes me wish that I was musically inclined so that I could join!
I really enjoy these four track challenge videos. More entertaining than a Netflix series for sure. I’m all digital and don’t have a four track recorder. But, I would love to give it a go. Great job!
It's so interesting to watch these videos! All have their struggled but in the end it's a great song 😀
Wow – Amazing! Nice work everyone!
