Title: October Song of the Month
Post by: adamfarr on November 01, 2019, 12:21:09 PM: I think in an excess of enthusiasm I volunteered for this one and Cowparsleyman is up for next month.

Hope your Halloweens went well and you are getting fired up for the next highlight - the prospect of voting ...

... for these songs.

Lordy, though, it was a productive month and lots of songs to listen to. I chose a shortlist of 5 that I liked most (that was my only rule). Lots of variety on show.

Let's keep it simple - one vote for your favourite to me by PM by midnight on Saturday 16th November 2019. Nominees need to vote to win!

My nominees are (in alphabetical order):

Distance   http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=16956.0

Find a Sunny Spot   http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=16987.0

No More Tears   http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=16938.0

The Blues Don't   http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=16972.0

The Moment   http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=16990.0
https://soundcloud.com/knmac/the-moment

Just so you know, I deliberately did not include John PompeyJazz's Without you Girl, even though it's a superb track by any measure, as I didn't feel it should be "judged" in a songwriting competition.

Good luck all!

Cheers
Adam
