FAWM: February Album Writing Month 14 songs in 28 days. Make music. Because you can.

I reckon there's a lot of creative people on this site? So why not give FAWM a go this year? February Album Writing Month is a website where people come together to write 14 (or more) songs or lyrics in 28 days. It's great fun, with a very supportive community. No experience needed. #fawm

The Romans also thought better of trying to take Scotland

Canada is the country that should be most worried. Think many thought Trump's claims that Canada should become another US state were just the offensive utterances of a madman. But if he takes Greenland by force, the Canadians should start to fortify their borders and quickly get nuclear weapons

That sounds cool. I have a song and have sent it to you.
Simon

Forced to take a break from their gaming obsession? That's how it is in my household! I think my sons are competing to bring down the world record for least time taken to eat lunch - the way Sergei Bubka used to routinely increase the world pole vault record ...

AI Muse Collaboration Contest 2/2023 Lyrics by Simon Wright. 2 months to create a song around a theme with a lyricist and musician. Artificial Intelligence was the theme.

Pleased that my collab with US musician Scott Palmer placed 3rd in a MuseSongWriters song contest.

It's called 'AI' and is a humorous take on what the future may be for bands. Lyrics and spoken intro by me. Music, vocals, and production by Scott.

Let’s celebrate this life'

Got broken teeth behind my tremblin' lips

Gone from burgers to brains with a glass of red'

Yo Boy

My new song is out.
Yo Boy, by LyricSlinger

About sticking together through the tough times

And her skirt hitched for a stranger in your house
Yo brother's cooking pasta on the burner
So you both get some food in your mouth'

Something that sticks in my mind is seeing Belfast's best band, Watercress, playing the Belfast Empire venue when the Peace process was at its height. Totally joyous vibe & I recall this old guy* dancing wildly as the band tore through their set.
* Looking back, he was probably only in his 40s!

Forever Baby

And I have another new song for you.

The protagonist in Forever Baby seems to have had a bad breakup! 😅 #newmusic

'I could stare into your eyes forever
Open caskets are the best
I've got my dancing shoes on for later, baby
Cos we're on the final stretch'

Love Bomb is a 60s-flavoured happy song about a time when AI has created lasting peace and joy in the world. But is there a darker side? #newmusic

Nice playlist on the theme of lists!

Great playlist from what was, I think, quite a tough theme!
And brilliant to have Jo on board to help curate it. 😀
Look forward to listening to it

Funky Old Man

My new song is available to listen to on Spotify. It's called Funky Old Man. Bit of a funky disco type number. Check it out!

'Yeah, I'm a funky old man
My hips swivel and my head bops
My fedora's loud
But not as loud as my Hawaiian tops!'

3rd. For hidden track as mixtape is a playlist?
Listen, Listen, Listen, by Tara Craig and me!
I wrote this song for the Colin Murray mixtape where the song title need to be 1 word repeated.

'No kids shouting
No mixtapes
No Colin or Clare
Just silence
Everywhere'

YouTube video by UglyKidJoeVEVO Ugly Kid Joe - Cats In The Cradle

2nd choice. Cat's In the Cradle. I've gone with the Ugly Kid Joe version as it's more my era, but the Harry Chapin original is great too.
It's a list of regrets.

'He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on, let's play
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, 'Not today'

It's a wish-list!

'I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me'
