  1. 🌅 Can it really be the LAST WEEKLY SONG PROMPT of the summer!?!? 🌇

    "Word painting" 🎨 is the use of music elements that literally represent the meaning of a song's lyrics (or vice versa).

    Give it a try!

    Examples: “U Can’t Touch This” (MC Hammer — “stop!”), “Bang Bang” (Nancy Sinatra — descending guitar slides), “Shout at the devil” (Mötley Crüe, shouting)

    Know any other good examples?

  2. Less is more! This week's challenge: write a complete song that's less than two minutes. ⏱️

    Examples: “Mercedes Benz” (Janis Joplin), “Welcome to the Working Week” (Elvis Costello), “Never Talking to You Again” (Husker Du).

  3. This week's challenge comes a little late... but try writing a song that uses a short repeated phrase/hook without a separate chorus section.

    Examples: “Blowin’ in the Wind” (Bob Dylan), “I Got Rhythm” (George & Ira Gershwin), “Bittersweet Symphony” (The Verve), “Hello” (Lionel Ritchie).

  7. "FUC" isn't rude, it's "FAWM ukulele club!"

    Can't really remember who coined the term (maybe you?), but it's been FAWM songwriting lingo for years...

    The uke is one of the cheapest and simplest instruments. But it invites you to just... well... "fuc around" and find out what songs you have in you! Without the distractions of bells and whistles and production. That can be really useful.

    Are in the club? maybe in spirit?
