Very unexpected circumstances came up Monday night and into Tuesday which limited the time I had to work on music. Also, honestly, I wasn't in much of a mood to write anything.
That said, I ended up writing three songs for FAWM (including the new songfight title).
The first song I wrote is called "Unemployed Astronaut". The Week 1 Challenge at FAWM was to write a song about a job, and since Obama just cut NASA's ability to go back to the moon and even develop a new fleet of spacecraft to replace the shuttles, I'm sure there will be a lot of unemployed astronauts. My theory is that Obama just can't stand any competition: little boys used to want to either be astronauts or the president. Now, the president has pretty much taken astronaut off the table as dream job. In a larger sense, he's destroying the nation's dream of space and exploration (and future occupations such as space pirate).
The second song is called "Let's Get Bloody". This is a Song Fight! title (and one of the worst one's I've come across). My original intent was to write a song mocking the teenage vampire craze, but I just ended up writing a three-chord punk song about getting shit-faced and arrested.
The third song is called "Reboot". This one is about how I'm very tired of my style of songwriting and want to try something else. In the end, I resign to just stick with the same old crap I've been doing because reboots are usually garbage.
That's it. I don't love any of them. They are all in a semi-state of being recorded. I'm not feeling that great about FAWM so far.
