I hate everything about February
by @franniezest
Liner Notes
#acousticonetake i was struggling to think of anything to write about and in a moment of frustration started singing about how i hate fawm and then it turned into this :)
then i realized my verse melody was almost identical to Goodbye Earl so i had to change it a bit (whoops).
(Note from songwrit in g group - try starting chorus on F and end on G to walk up to the chorus )
Lyrics
CHORUS (C) I hate everything (G) about February (F) I can't even pronounce it (G) right (C) I hate everything (G) about February (F) its always dark as (G) night
Verse 1: (C) wake up in the dark and (F) choose a warm sweater (F) layer up with scarves and (G) gloves (C) I can barely even fit a (F) coat on top (F) and my glasses get (G) all fogged up
Verse 2 The snow and slush wet the hem of my pants soakin wet most of the day the evening's so dark and when i get home i gotta shovel my driveway

oh man, I relate! Especially that glasses fogging up line. The struggle is real! What a productive way to vent your frustrations.
Not even pronouncing it right made me think for a sec :P I do really hear ya on a lot of this as a Midwesterner and you put a catchy chorus to our yearly frustration. I also dig the pause on "I gotta shovel my driveway". This is a real promising one.
I love when moments of frustration in songwriting turn into sweet little ditties! I'll be humming that chorus all night! Good job!
Glad to hear that the frustration was channeled into a catchy song. Well done!
I love this idea for a song, and I empathize with the idea of not knowing what to write about. Shoveling the driveway is my bane lately.
I don't hear any hints of Goodbye Earl in here; not sure if you changed it before recording or not.
