February Album Writing Month

The FAWM challenge is simple: 14½ songs in 28 29 days. Why?

"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." — Jack London

If it is inspiration you are after, then FAWM is your club. Each February, this website forges a collaborative community of thousands of musicians worldwide, from all walks and skill levels. We take on the challenge of writing an album's worth of new music in the shortest month of the year. We fawmers are a motley mix of music professionals, students, homemakers, and folks who work day jobs and rock nightclubs. Questions? Check out the FAQ.

Four-year bonus: 2012 is a leap-FAWM! That means one extra day to write an extra half-song (a collaboration with someone new)! That's social songwriting at its best...

This Week's Songwriting Challenge: The Weather

It may be boring to talk about the weather, but it's fun to sing about it! Write a song with a type of weather in the title.

Examples: “The Sound of Sunshine” (Michael Franti), “Singin' in the Rain” (Gene Kelly), “Shelter From The Storm” (Bob Dylan), “Summer Breeze” (Seals and Crofts).

Collective songs so far in 2012:
1527
That is 11.4% of the way to achieving
FAWM escape velocity!
(And nearly 3.7 days of solid music.)
