🎶 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? 🎧

🎶 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!

🎶✨ 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 👈

Jobs. You know, those things that keep you from fawming 24/7.

That's this week's lyrical challenge! Express your elation (or frustration) about your own job/joblessness, or write an ode to your favorite occupation or person who holds that occupation!

Examples: "9 to 5" (Dolly Parton), "Take This Job And Shove It" (David Coe), "This Place Sucks" (Descendents), "Buffalo Soldier" (Bob Marley)
