Title: SOTM July - the Entries!
Post by: MonnoDB on August 04, 2022, 09:47:35 AM

Hi everyone!

Song of the month time! LOADS of great songs in July to choose from :) ! Rules are simple - choose your top 3, and submit via the form —> https://forms.gle/PHz3Hmk28aW2B96A9

Please let me know if your song is not included - I've checked a few times but there's a possibility I've missed some but hopefully not.. If you get to me before the voting starts, I'll modify the form.. If not, we can bounce you into next month.

I’ve all the Soundcloud songs on a playlist —> https://soundcloud.com/monnodb/sets/sfjuly?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

….with the exception of Skub’s Ode to the Lonely as it’s private - so I’ve put his first on the list with the soundcloud link included.. Youtube song links are all below also.

I’ve given you the opportunity to identify yourselves also but haven’t made it mandatory - it means if there’s an issue with a submission, I’ll know who to contact.

Please don’t vote for your own song :) and please if you’re listed, vote! I can’t vet this but I trust you all, yes I do! :)

Deadline: Please vote by August 20th! It’ll take me a couple of days to compile from there as I’ll be away until then..

Ok - get listening!

Thanks @pompeyjazz (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20269) ! You're right - a difficult choice..

A bunch of votes in already I'm delighted to announce! I won't talk about leaders yet as it's early days. .

It would be great if you guys can post here when you've voted so we can keep the momentum up..

Thanks for posting @pompeyjazz (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20269) !
