here's a song I wrote that has the word broken in it
Nice! Thanks for adding it to this months FSOTM!! I liked the line "remember the sunshine, it will greet you every day"
Cheers
Richard
Nice! I always enjoy a good DIY fixer-upper story!
Cheers
Richard
There's still a few day before the end of the month - would other members like to contribute?
Cheers
Richard
You and you son are very talented.
He sure changed a lot as he got older. Looks so serious playing the keyboardIt was fun to watch you two - well done.
Sounded great
Thank you - yes, he has changed a lot over the last few years, he's 14 now and taller than me (and still growing!). He loves playing his keyboard but he doesn't really like the contemporary songs, preferring to make his own music in the old 8-bit video game style. I always support and encourage him to write his own music, as it's a skill not everyone has, and it's a creative process. Personally I think being creative is far better than copying someone else because you take the music beyond where you found it; looking forward, rather than backward ....
Cheers

ADORNING
"Hello there, good morning,
how did you sleep?" he asked as I was yawning.
"Not so good" I replied. "You kept me awake with your snoring".
"Oh, so sorry, I`m overtired" he said.
"For better or worse in marriage,
says that ring, ADORNING your finger".
We both chuckled as I grabbed the milk and continued pouring.
"What's on your schedule today I asked?"
"I need to go down to the mooring,
the boat needs some new parts which I will be ordering".
"By the looks of the weather warning, it will soon be pouring" he said.
"Oh, thought I would pop out for a bit,
go look at a new rug for the flooring.
This adoring purring cat of ours,
well, he ruined the last one with all his clawing".
Very clever!!!

Thanks Jandle, I missed this yesterday (I went down the YouTube rabbit hole after watching Peatle - hahah) - yer, we still do the occasional jam, although he is working hard on his own music, mostly for his game, but he did lay down a solo for one of the songs I'll be releasing on CD. He played the songs in a solo piano performance he did as part of the schools musical show.

Jai is very talented by the looks of it neophytte with his music and creating games, very clever indeed.
Thank you - he makes a Dad proud 
Cheers
Richard
although there are heaps of words to choose from
i just dont have any that fit.
Thanks, it was meant as a general comment, as we usually have the same people participating; my curiosity is how to get others to submit an entry. The FSOTM seems to go through ebbs and flows where sometimes quite a few will comment (or include a tune), but for the last few months it seems to be a drier patch. Although I also see over the last few months there has been limited participation in a lot of the areas of the forum, not just FSOTM ....
Cheers
Richard
Thank you, Richard and Jan, for taking the time to have a listen, watch and comment. It would be good to see some others give FSOTM a shot.
I wonder how we can get others to participate?
Cheers
Richard

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.

Nice work, I enjoyed that!!
Cheers

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

That doesn't look very random
But we'll include the word ....
Cheers
Richard
In the UK "wagon wheels" are a chocolate covered marshmallow and they're lovely.
In Australia too!!
Cheers
Richard
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
Darling, I Keep Hoping That I'm Wrong By Jim Kenyon
[Am] My eyes are so tired, yet I can't sleep at night.my [E] mind starts racing, when I [Am]turn out the light.[Am] oh this room is so dark, but I can clearly see,that [E] you're not coming back, to [Am] be here with me?
Adding the link to the topic that contains the Soundcloud recording of this song:

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!!!
Cheers
Richard
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 ..."
