#SKOA30: SOME KIND OF AWESOME'S 30 DAY SONG CHALLENGE
(feel free to steal and share with your friends!)
RIGHT
SO
When I initially created #SKOA30 I was overworked, overwhelmed, underpaid, etc. etc. Leave it to me to be deeply thoughtful and super fucking ambitious all day every day. Even so, in spite of having all of the songs planned out at the time I just ran out of energy to finish what the fuck I started. The perfectionist in me has been so fucking embarrassed about this shit. You have no idea.
BUT
Suddenly we’ve all found ourselves in the middle of a fucking pandemic with plenty of time on our hands and a very strong desire to have at least one minor distraction daily from the constant barrage of the most insane shit going on. Enter: this true fucking story…
I happened to catch wind that this geeky Facebook group I’m in was DOING THE CHALLENGE ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT ANY SOLICITATION FROM ME. As in, close to 2 weeks into it I was like, “Damn that prompt sounds a lot like mi….WAIT A SEC!” Seeing total strangers/casual internet friends so excited to do this made me realize this was worth resurrecting this in hopes of having some thoughtful conversations about things we care about instead of the usual bit now where we kinda glance at each other from across the internet and shout, “ARE WE REALLY LIVING IN THIS TIMELINE RIGHT NOW!?!?!?!”
Soooo
I present to you TAKE TWO of this fucking challenge.
Same prompts, but I’ve chosen to clean slate this shit. I’ve got all new songs to talk about. Hopefully you’ve got some fresh ones since we all attempted this at an official capacity *checks notes* almost a year and a half ago….!!!
For your convenience, here are all of the prompts in text form if you wanna be a dweeb and plan them in advance like I did.
Day 1: A song you recently shared with a friend
Day 2: A song that always helps to cheer you up
Day 3: A song that always helps you concentrate
Day 4: A song you’ve probably performed the most at karaoke
Day 5: A song that you always wanna party to
Day 6: A song that motivates you
Day 7: A song that is impossible for you not to dance to
Day 8: A song you hadn’t heard in ages but heard recently
Day 9: A song that means a lot to you that barely anyone has heard of
Day 10: A song that’s longer than average
Day 11: A song that makes your heart race every time
Day 12: A song that brings up painful memories
Day 13: A song that brings up the happiest of memories
Day 14: A song that others would probably choose to describe you
Day 15: A song that best describes your personality
Day 16: A song that describes your best friend
Day 17: A song that makes you feel sexy
Day 18: A song you’d send a crush as a means to flirt with them
Day 19: A song you hope your crush would send in response
Day 20: A song that you didn’t love at first but grew to love deeply
Day 21: A song that you initially misheard the lyrics
Day 22: A song from an LGBTQ+ artist
Day 23: A song that gave you an entirely different perspective on life
Day 24: A song by your favorite female artist
Day 25: A song you can never play quietly
Day 26: A remix of a song that you like more than the original
Day 27: A cover of a song that you like better than the original
Day 28: A song that gets stuck in your head the most
Day 29: A song you discovered by Shazam-ing
