A Songwriting Scene Challenge — come on, all you songwriters!

A couple of weeks back, I mentioned the possibility of a songwriting challenge on the Songwriting Scene Facebook page. My good friend, songwriter Meg Braun, helped me come up with what I think is a fun idea!

This is your (and my) songwriting mission, if you choose to accept it:
Write a song with the title of a book in the lyrics.
Simple, right? Hmm…:)
The songwriting challenge deadline is SEPTEMBER 1.
If you’d like to share your completed song, feel free to post video/lyrics to the Facebook page, and/or send me video/audio/lyrics or links to the following address: songwritingscene at gmail.com. I can share some results here on the blog.
Please do comment here and let me know if you’re up for the challenge!

    OK – Just found this site and this challenge. I've hit a dry spot in my writing, so I'm taking you up on it. Thanks!

  • Sharon Goldman

    Fabulous! Keep us updated on your progress…I'm still pondering mine!

    So down with this. But to make it a real challenge you need to give yourself an interesting title. Anyone can write a song with a one-word title like "Shame" in it. Something like "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" is a bit tougher.

    Darn, I've been writing a book mentioning many of my song titles, I didn't think about doing it the other way around: "Lalalalalala…talkin' 'bout Zennnnnnnn…and the art of the Midlife Crisis…yeah."

    Just last night, I actually finished my song – "The Hour of the Outlaw." If the recording gods cooperate I will post it tonight. Thanks for the kick in the rear!

  • Sharon Goldman

    awesome, Erin! So glad to hear it…looking forward to hearing it! Feel free to send an MP3 and lyrics…or just lyrics if you post the MP3 elsewhere.
