Challenges
FAWM provides "official" weekly songwriting prompts all month long to help you get inspired! We also post these to social media ( Instagram YouTube Bluesky Mastodon ). Fawmers are of course encouraged to post their own community challenges in the forums!
Current challenge:
Combine contrasting emotional cues, such as a fast tempo in a minor key, a static chord progression with a driving rhythm, or dark lyrics set to upbeat music (or vice versa).
Examples: “Boogie Chillun” (John Lee Hooker), “Twisting” (They Might Be Giants), “Walking on Broken Glass” (Eurythmics), “No Children” (The Mountain Goats).
