Ok, looking for SUGGESTIONS for FSOTM.   SONGS using these 5 different WORDS for the MONTH OF JULY.  The 5 WORDS are:  DOOR … CHILD …GOODBYE … RAIN … LOVE.

Put your thinking caps on and POST in the COMMENTS some SONG SUGGESTIONS for us to cover.

Once again, SUGGESTIONS can be COVERS of a SONG we already know, or it can be an ORGINAL you have written.  If you want to SUGGEST an ORIGINAL you have written and want us to try to perform it, remember to post the lyrics and chords.

READY!  SET!  GO!

Hi everyone, hope your all enjoying FSOTM. 
For this MONTH of JUNE for FSOTM, looking for SUGGESTIONS for SONGS with any day of the week in it.   So, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY and or course SUNDAY, you pick!   Any day or more than one day, cover as many days as you want!
Also looking for SUGGESTIONS of SONGS with NUMBERS in them, so pick any SONG that has a NUMBER in it.

You can do COVERS, you can do an ORIGINAL, you can even do INSTRUMENTAL only if you want.

Here were a few suggestions to get you started if you want or you can find your own songs that fit in with this month’s chosen words.

500 Milles - I`m Gonna Be
Five Foot Two
Ten Guitars - Howard Morrison
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
Eight Days A Week - The Beatles
I Saw Her Standing There - Beatles (She was just seventeen)
It Never Rains In Southern California - Albert Hammond (Got on aboard a westbound seven, forty seven)
King Of The Road - Roger Miller ( Rooms to let, fifty cents)
My Hometown - Bruce Springsteen ( I was eight years old) (In 65, tension was running high)
Rehab - Amy Winehouse (I ain`t got 70 days)
Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley & The Comets
What`s Up - 4 Non Blondes (25 years of my life and still)
You`re Sixteen - Sherman Brothers
Beautiful Sunday - Daniel Boone
I Just Called To Say I Love You - Stevie Wonder (mentions Saturday and the number 3 in the song)
Another Saturday Night - Sam Cook   


Another suggestion was by our member TIGLJK otherwise known as Jim Kenyon, ONCE IN A LIFETIME.  Lyrics and chords can be found for this in the Suggestions for June Topic.

Reminder once again, you can do COVERS, ORIGINALS and or INSTRUMENTALS, you decide.  Looking forward to what you all come up with.

READY!  SET!  GO!

Nice one Jets, your singing is always good to listen too.  I wondered how you were going to perform this song as I could see it has lots of lyrics in it and you covered it well and made it work.  Your guitar did you have it amped up?

That sounds awesome. 
You have such a unique voice and just a bit of an accent ( at least to me) that enhance it greatly.
Beautifully done.

Jim

Thanks so much Jim, appreciate the listen and comments smile  When we were in Canada many years ago and lived there for a few months, all the Canadians kept saying I had a strong accent lol

Here`s another quick (and I mean quick)  recording I did this afternoon in between housework lol, a few little mistakes in it but just recorded on a break before starting the vacuuming (anything to delay the vacuuming *sigh*).  I didnt muck around re-recording as got to much to do today.  It has the word MAN in it.

ctech, you performed that song you wrote really well.  I was wondering when you posted the lyrics to this song how the repeated verses about "Love" was going to work and now I can see what you had in mind and it worked, well done.  As I said before thought provoking, good lyrics smile

Thanks for feedback neophytte, yeah that intro with the picking is the first time I have played it, I normally just strum the whole song, so still practicing when it comes to picking.

Firstly thanks Brian, James and Peatle for having a listen to my version of Ghost Rider, appreciate the feedback.

Secondly TIGLJK, I have tried and tried to play your song but to no avail, its just not working for me sadly, I cant seem to get it to flow sad

Neophytte, thanks for reposting your song here in this month rather than suggestions, that helps me when I list the songs each month for the over all monthly entrants smile

unclejoesband, looks like you had lots of fun at that gig.  What a great setup by the looks and to get to perform with a bunch of mates, is what its all about.  I would love to do something like that smile

Wow, songs written about tough times in relationships are always sad, very sad but its also good to write those feelings down and express them and I think in song or poetry is a healthy way to help get emotions and feelings out and not keep them inside.  Well written Ctech.

That's  good Jets, I  look forward to hearing how you do this one.  And how nice to get away for a holiday to a nice beach resort.  I actually don't know this place but I always wanted to visit the Caribbean Islands.

I loved that Brian, lol, it made me laugh and I had a smile on my face the whole time listening to that.  It kinda reminded me of Flight of the concords how they would talk between their songs and strum while talking and they would talk on any subject and make it funny.  You did that, I think you have found a new talent smile

i think choosing a word like last mth works better  eg man/woman/ghost

Thanks easybeat, noted and agree, random words were fun, so yep will definately do again.  In the meantime, any song suggests or a song you have written with the above in it, eg a day of the week or a number?
