Song Theme Challenge: "Shine"
February (and thus FAWM) is about 41% of the way through. And most of us are behind schedule. However, if I do say so myself, we are doing quite well... I've written more songs in the past week than I've squeezed out in the past year, and I think most of us can say the same. Still, rounding out 14 songs in the next 17 days is starting to sound elusive, and our muses may be bailing out on us.
So here's the deal... a mini-goal: Everybody write, demo, and post a song before midnight on Sunday (the 15th) with the word "shine" -- or some derivative thereof -- in the title. It's a bit cliché, I know, but it's also ripe with possibilities. There are so many contexts and interpretations (e.g. "the shining," "shiner," "shine on," etc.) that our respective creativities could each take us in different directions. So let's see where those directions are! GO!

excellent. i have an old song called "song about a sunbeam" (which i ripped off from mary lou lord) that ends on a very drawn out "SHHHHHHHIIIINNNEEEEEEEE"
in a medieval church in moravia...
