Loving You (repost) - Faithmaree (Faith Elisabeth Brigham) & Jilted Johnny aka Gus
In spite of two bumps, many DUP’ers didn’t read or listen the beautiful lyrics that inspired this song. It is a huge success abroad, would you believe? Yes, of course you would. In approx. 14 days after posting, over a 1.000 listens. Edit: as 2023 is approaching, I checked the state of affaires where the reads and listens are concerned.
It has stopped at 8.450 as per 1st of Nov 2023!!!
I am extremely proud to have had this cooperation!
This poem was written by
@Faithmairee
The song is is coop, and posting has her full OK.
The biggest succes so far is on a small Dutch Guitarist’s forum.
The introduction I made on an international forum, so you’ll be able to understand what I said was:
‘Hoi hoi
An American friend wrote very nice lyrics for songs that didn’t happen.
And I think it’s a good idea to change all that. Plus a regular, heartfelt love song would be very nice for a change’.
If you are looking for Faith’s original post on DUP, it’s on page 4 of her submissions.
The following is a complete repost. The photo couldn’t be copied alas.
Loving Me (Song Collaboration With Jilted Johnny)
It played out
In plain view
For all to see
The way you
Love me is
A wonderful thing
You claim it
Happened even
Before we met
You knew you
Loved me
And always did
I was surprised
To hear that you
Have already made
Plans for us
I felt for you
An immediate trust
The bottom line
Is simple and sweet
I love your
Loving me

Hoi hoi ;)
The music/entire song creation turned out incredibly awesome, Gus!! I listened a few times and like I've said before, this type of alternative shoegazey rock is my own personal sweet spot. Your song feels like it's in the same wheelhouse as My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Jane or Mazzy Star, etc .. all of which are bands I loved back in my heyday and now! They're staples on my Spotify Playlists ...those and many more!
Again, this was an excellent partnering!
I hope to hear more....
Thank you for re-sharing

Hoi hoi
I like it a lot that you took the time to read and listen.
The reason for the repost is mainly to bring the coop (and Faith’s very nice lyrics) to the attention of people and places where it would go unnoticed otherwise.
It is a strange combi, my music. Singing and specially the use of background singing, is sunshine pop inspired and the music, including the mix, an non distortion version of shoe gaze.
It looks like we’re the people with the good taste. Don’t know which emoj I should use here.
Thank you so much for your encouragement.
I’ll keep your comments certainly in mind when making future coops.
Kind regards, Gus

Wow, Gus! Just wow! We did so good didn't we? I'm very pleased the way the song turned out. I'm so glad to hear it's doing so well abroad. We should do another collaboration don't you think? It's true, I'm having so much fun working together with you!

Hoi hoi
Yes, I do agree totally. This one has turned out very nicely.
And lyrics and backing are really complementary to each other.
And I am so glad it’s listens picked up as expected. I hope to bolster your self esteem. Only then you will be able to bring out the best in you, lyrics wise.
I certainly am looking forward to another adventure together. It’ll have to wait until I’ll be back. We will be in touch long before that.
Long long before that.

I love a collaboration like this that comes out with such great energy.

Hoi hoi @danielChristensen
You nailed the idea, I must say. I like that a lot.
Like in the lyrics, in the backing are a lot of things happening. Simple things. But they add up. Plus loud guitars, played soft.
A sort of loud dream, is what I had in mind.
Love it that you took the time to listen. Thank you you!
Kind regards, (Faith &) Gus

Hoi hoi
And thank you @bluevelvete for putting us on your reading list. That very nice compliment almost escaped me. Sorry for that!
Three weeks after posting the total of listens/times read is 1500 approx. Which, after a slow start, is about a 100 per day.
So it goes to show that each of you DUP’ers giving Faith compliments for her heartfelt lyrics are right.
If you lady B. have playful ideas to whip DUP into more or less the same kind of activity, I hope you’ll share them.
You can’t like a poem or a song twice. But I can thank you twice!
Thank you so much & thank you very very much!

This is very laid back and chill, just a lovely song on a sunny day of living, loving, and laughing.

Hoi hoi @LJ
It’s great when people come around to read Faith's lyrics and listen to the song.
And I like it a lot that you like the results. Faith and me don’t know each other and that an outcome like this is possible, is very surprising. To me anyway.
Thank you very much for your listen and comment, also on Faith’s behalf.

Hoi hoi @WrittenbyHer
Your compliment to put this song on your list, is very much appreciated by Faith and me.
In a little over 1.5 month the listens amount to approx 3.000, which sets the bar for our (yours and mine) coop rather high!
And (for me) that’s good. We mustn’t get too lazy, right?
On behalf of Faith too,

Love before first sight? I've never heard of that before but it's a lovely cheery write in my view. 😊

Hoi hoi
O yes, maybe I am a hopeless romantic, but this was what drew me to these lyrics. I always knew that the love of my life would be there and that we would meet. All I had to do is wait sort of decent for that moment.
The lyrics are by @faithmaree and the very human nature won me over. And I am very happy with the result.
Thank you for listening and commenting.
Als on Faith’s behalf.

Hoi hoi @Faithmairee
I’m afraid this one must be the last update on how the song with your lyrics is doing.
The smallest of the two forums I published the song, disabled the counter, so no reliable progress can be recorded from now.
At this day, the amount of reads and listens is
Gitaarnet.nl 3,334
Songwriters in the kitchen 1,455
This amounts to 4,789 reads and listens.
I feel privileged having had the chance to cooperate with you in writing and recording this song.
I thank you for this.
And wish you a very nice and meaningful Christmas and a very happy 2023!
Kind regards, Gus

Hoi hoi Faith
Glad you’re back. I hope this finds you well.
Searching for something else, I came across the count of ‘Loving me’. I send a screenshot seperately.
Together with an estimated 2,500 listens on Songwriters in the Kitchen (an international forum which no longer exists), your poem brought happiness to the eyes, ears and hearts of some 10,900 people in the Netherlands and abroad.
I hope this lifts you up further and I’ll leave a message on your loving me post.
I wish you a beautiful, meaningful Easter.
Kind regards, Gus
