Oh dear. I think I’m going to fail FAWM.
Well, I’ve written 10 songs I wouldn’t have otherwise, so that’s not exactly failure is it? But I’m not going to hit fourteen and a half, simply because I’m running out of time!
Here are the last two songs. I’m particularly proud of ‘Where Once They Had Hearts’.
Ideas to steal from them:
- An ostinato that stays the same while the chords change (E Fsharp Gsharp in ‘In the cellar at number 33′).
- Climaxing on a chromatic chord (the first chord in the chorus of ‘Where once they had Hearts’ isn’t in the mode that the rest of the song is in)

In the Cellar at Number 33
I’m going to sum up what I’ve learned from my first FAWM adventure in this weekend’s post.
