OK, this week's prompt has nothing to do with horses (AFAIK)! 🐎 But try using the i–VII–VI–V chord progression...

Examples: “Sultans of Swing” (Dire Straits), “Sixteen Tons” (Merle Travis), “I Will Survive” (Gloria Gaynor), “Before He Cheats” (Carrie Underwood).

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).
