Here is a quickly put together song with the word broken in it. I thought I better give this month a shot in the hope it will inspire others to have a go at CSOTM.

Would any other members like to contribute?

Good one Richard and Jai,
Thanks for listening, hope you've got time to add one too ...
Cheers

A recording I made of this song 6 (!?!) years ago, Gypsy Fair starts with the line "Fairy floss and chocolate wheels ..". My son is doing the vocals as I'm covering off the second guitar part with a kazoo:

Enjoy!

And while I'm here:
stem

smoke
plastic

That doesn't look very random 
But we'll include the word ....

In the UK "wagon wheels" are a chocolate covered marshmallow and they're lovely.
In Australia too!!

For this months suggestions, I'm going to stick with what I did for the last couple of months, as we seem to end up with a good degree of randomness. If anyone has any feedback, happy to discuss either here or in PM.
For Decembers suggestions you'll need to follow these steps:
1) Got to https://randomwordgenerator.com/
2) Generate 4 random words
3) Put those words in our topic here!
Note you don't need to pick the four in the first generation, any four will do!!
Look forward to reading what you all RANDOMLY SUGGEST.
READY ... SET ... GO!!!
Hi all,
We have sixteen words to choose from this month as suggested by our members!
In alphabetical order:
adorning, broken, cheap, coincidence, coup, crack, creep, crop, fairy, legend, logistic, main, mourning, mystic, property, ritual
With these words, our members can write a poem, create a song or cover somebody else's song which include any or all of those words and remember to make a suggestion for the upcoming December's FSOTM.
Go ahead and make some awesome music!! Looking forward to hearing it!
This is a re-post from songwriting - try to get a recording here sometime this week.
I qualify bc I used the word " do"
I wrote this over coffee this morning. One of my friends is having marital problems, and this just popped into words as I was having coffee.
Most likely not perfect - but here it is

This is the song I wrote for SOTM
Agree with Peatle, you've captured the mood(?) well ...
BTW: if you haven't already - pop a link on the FSOTM thread ...
Cheers
Richard
Nice ... have you adjusted your truss rod lately? The action looks a bit high ...

On another note, I haven't entered anything yet as I am getting over a cold which has had me coughing. So hopefully I will be over it before this month's FSOTM ends.
Hope you feel better soon!! We always take our health for granted, until it's not there ...
Thanks for listening to my song!
Cheers
Richard
That's a good one!!!

Here's one I did almoat 3 (!) years ago - "Love will tear us apart" by Joy Division - with the line "... why is the bedroom so cold ..."

Don't forget to add a link from the FSOTM page to here, or to the recording ... there's still a week to go!!

This one has the word brake in one verse .It is based on true events from the late 60s .I wrote it after I lost a friend .Riverside cafe closed around 1970 and was demolished ,A modern motel now stands on the site .

This go's out to Glen RIP .
That's a good song - I take it that it was pretty new to the band at the time, hope you get to record it. Doing dumb things when we were young ... I guess we've all been there ...
Cheers
Richard
Good to hear the audience joining in with you in your first song Richard. Always satisfying when the crowd does that, makes it all worthwhile. Nice to hear your originals too. That last song you definitely were getting into it, well done
Thanks for having a listen ... I'm hoping to do some longer gigs this year, but it's already October and I haven't yet ... still time, I guess
Cheers
Richard
Many of the new ways people use words to describe things sometimes gets me confused such as when someone says that's real sick meaning it is real good
A couple of years ago I was working at a place with a load of 20-somethings and their word was "dope". I was confused why they kept referring to drugs in the workplace until I figured out they were saying it was "good" or "well done" ...
Cheers
Richard
Sounds good ... I don't know how you write so many songs, whenever I get on "a roll" all my songs sound the same (and use the same words and phrasing, etc) ...
Cheers
Richard
Nice tune - I agree with what Jim said, I can imagine this being a cowboy looking after his herd in the nighttime, next to a fire...
Cheers
Richard
Good one Richard was that the audience singing along on Light My Fire that I could hear on the video or was it an echo in the hall??? Your two originals very strong songs rhythmically and lyrically also.
Hi Peatle,
Thanks for having a listen; they were singing along (it's a pretty common practice for well known songs there!).
Cheers
Richard
They were pretty good - was it two different gigs (I saw you had a change of clothes and the bass player lost his mic on the last video) or two different sets?
I must say I love the band name too!
Cheers
Richard
This video is one of the gigs I did at Wanneroo Folk club, and starts with "Light my Fire" - which has the words "funeral pyre" in the second verse:
