🎶 Weekly challenge time: Write your PERSONAL SOUNDTRACK! 🎬

Whether it's a life-defining anthem, day-in-the-life “montage” music, or a moment's vibe, capture a part of you in song. 🌟

Think "Tapestry" (Carole King) or "Life is a Highway" (Tom Cochrane).

What's your theme song? 🎧

🚀 Today wraps up the 3rd week of FAWM!

As we approach week 4, remember to keep writing, keep sharing, and never underestimate the power of collaboration! Let’s keep inspiring each other to make music, shall we? 🎶💪

🎶 Weekly songwriting challenge: PUBLIC DOMAIN! 🚨

Incorporate something from the PUBLIC DOMAIN into a new song. Borrow a melody, twist a lyric, or flip a folk tune on its head.

Examples:
💡 ‘Greensleeves’ as a metal anthem.
💡 ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ as an existential crisis.
💡 ‘Scarborough Fair’ as a diss track.

What's your take? Post it to FAWM.ORG!

🎸 It's National Guitar Day! 🎸

Your guitar is waiting patiently while you doomscroll... so stop pretending you're busy and pick it up! Write a song. Strum some chords. Pen some lyrics. It doesn't have to be a hit, but you might surprise yourself! 🤘

Who knows what could happen with a riff and some inspiration. Or just spend the next 2 hours tuning. Your call. 😏

FAWM ON, FRIENDS!

🎶✨ Weekly challenge time: Try writing a song with MORSE CODE! 📡

Think "YYZ" (Rush) with its airport-code rhythm, or Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 intro (code for "V").💡

Encode a message with rhythm (musical cryptogram anyone?) or use it as a hidden texture like "Planet Claire" (B-52s) or "Landing of the Daleks" (The Earthlings).

Bonus points for hidden messages! 😏

have you ever written a PALINDROME song?

try reflecting letters ("if i dad a hi-fi" by william bottin) or whole words (“i palindrome i” by TMBG). perhaps invent a palindrome band name and make a track for it!

or use a musical palindrome, like a rhythm/melody/progression that’s the same forward and backward.

bonus points for multiple types of palindromes!

when you're done, post it to fawm.org 👈

This week's lyrical challenge is an EDUCATIONAL SONG! 🎓

Just because a song is written to help you learn something doesn’t mean it can’t be fun, too! Examples: “The Elements” (Tom Lehrer), “James K. Polk” (They Might Be Giants), “NaCL” (Anna & Kate McGarrigle), anything from Schoolhouse Rock!

🗓️ February Album Writing Month starts in 2 DAYS >> FAWM.ORG

One of the most intimidating things about sitting down to make music is the pressure to make it amazing. But you've got to write a lot of bad, stupid stuff to get to the very best. FAWM is all about letting go of what keeps you from creating, if that's what you need!
