#omnichord #improv #live

I decided for my fourteenth and winning FAWM song, I would tackle something new: live self-accompanied improv songwriting!! I made this song up in front of my friends at the Cypress Open Mic last night. It's not my best, but it's a start :)

My goal is to be performing one improv song per performance by the end of March. This FAWM had been the best practice! Thanks, FAWMily!

It was so fun to crowdsource my chords and topic from the audience <3 <3 Thanks Greg Gilmore, Michael Tegio, and Eddie B!

A F# D Dm

There's a first time for everything That's what Eddie B is trying to tell me! But maybe if I'm scared enough It'll make it even more worthwhile?

'Cause why put on socks and shoes If you're not gonna go do something new? Why do anything if you're gonna try, Try something new?

They say that courage Isn't the absence of fear, it's the triumph over it! But it still feels so damn big When I'm staring it down like this!

If we can work together and hold hands I know we can make it this time And maybe we can do a new thing together?

Why put on socks and shoes If you're not gonna do something new? The world's waiting for you Yeah it's waiting for you!

Why do anything if you're not gonna try something new? You and I can do it, I know We've got this one in the bag!

Yeah, why not try something new?
