Anyone need songwriting motivation? How about 5 songs in 5 days?!

not my idea but I think ill give it a go lol

Its part of a facebook group. Ive never done the challenge but I think they have it from time to time. Not sure of the specifics but I think u get a songwriting prompt and you write according to that idea maybe?

Dunno, but in any case u end up with 5 new songs in 5 day slol

I like this one in that, when they say they will give you a prompt, I am assuming they will specify a title, a starting lyric, a genre etc. That would be a challange I have seen many of these before where folks cheat. I am not set up yet for recording, but could be in a few days. Sounds fun

ive never done it so im not sure. Im assuming they give u a subject or a line as a prompt. Dunno.

I believe you can do lyrics only OR send in some sort of recorded demo. They arent judging on the recording quality

There is also a contest to win some stuff

What types of prompts do you share?

I’m always changing up prompts each challenge to keep it interesting and ot inspire as many different kinds of writers as possible. Some of the prompts we use are:

WORD SETS – A set of 10 words, where the writer is prompted to write a song using at least 5.
TITLES – A title for your song! Write a song with this title.
PHOTOS – Write a song that is inspired by the photograph.
THEMES – Write a song that alludes to this theme. You can use the exact wording, or choose not to.
