5 in 5 Song Challenge - Day 2 Songstream

In this hour‑long YouTube livestream, host Sarah (SPEAKER A) runs a live speed‑songwriting session for Day 2 of the “5‑in‑5” challenge, a five‑day, daily‑songwriting sprint hosted through a private Facebook group. She explains the day’s prompt—use a triple‑A (AAA) rhyme scheme—and the optional “amplifier” of a key change, then demonstrates her workflow: setting up a multi‑platform stream (Zoom → YouTube, Instagram, Facebook), sharing her screen, creating a Google Doc, brainstorming lyric ideas, and drafting a song titled “Bad Poetry.” Throughout the stream she interacts with co‑hosts (SPEAKER B, C) and live chat participants, offers songwriting tips (e.g., using rhyme‑finding tools, avoiding over‑editing, embracing drafts), promotes the challenge signup URL (songfancy.com/5in5) and a paid “Song Club” membership, and encourages viewers to join, share progress, and collaborate. The session ends with a wrap‑up, a reminder of the upcoming Song Club enrollment, and a thank‑you to the audience.

Okay, this is telling me that we are now live on YouTube.
Whoop!
It's working! Oh my god, okay, well I'm gonna mute myself over here. Oh shit! Mute! Okay. Hi, I'm testing this out with yet another streaming service to see what's going to be the best combination of ways to livestream. Um, so hi, this is me from Zoom. Hello, what's up? Welcome to day 2 of the 5in5 Song Challenge. I am livestreaming my writes this week as I attempt to write 5 songs for the 5in5 Song Challenge. What is the 5in5? Well, I'm so glad you asked. It is a 5-day speed songwriting challenge that I host every couple of months. The main challenge is taking place inside of Facebook, inside our Facebook group. So if you'd like to join us, feel free to head on over to songfancy.com/5in5. And I don't have any cool graphics to like throw up on the screen, but the URL once again, songfancy.com/5in5, and I'll be sure to put that URL in the description of this video. So if you're watching a replay, you can always go sign up that way. It's a free challenge, it's a great time, it's a kick in the ass, and writers of all levels of experience are welcome and encouraged to come join us. So come check it out. I am going to go on mute for one moment while I go figure out some more tech stuff, and BRB, two seconds. And we're back.
This is—
I'm sure this is thrilling to watch on a replay. I want to see if we can also like stream on Facebook and it doesn't look like it. Cool, that's fine. I'm gonna share this link on Facebook in the Facebook group and I'm also gonna start up a live on Instagram here. Here. So let's go live. And I want to use a filter because why not? There's no filters on Zoom, but there's filters— oh, it looks so cute in this filter. Oh my God, no, no, no, no, no, no, that is too much. This one works. Where's my little coconut one? Okay, love this.
Okay.
So we are going to start checking connection. I'm actually going to connect. Good, we're on the good Wi-Fi. Hello Instagram, I am testing out a big overly complex live streaming setup. I already hate it because I have Instagram going on my phone and I have Zoom connected to YouTube on my computer this is not the way that I want to do things, but that's okay. I'm sort of hacking my way around some free options for live streaming just to see what works best and to see where I might— how I might do it better in the future.
Hi Sheila!
Oh my gosh, how are you? I haven't seen you in a minute. Hey, the Breeze Bin, welcome. Um, okay, yeah, I feel like you guys over here on Instagram are gonna have a little bit more of a fun experience on this stream because I can turn the camera around and like show you my lyric sheet and stuff. But welcome, welcome, welcome! I am writing day 2 song for the 5 in 5 Song Challenge, and I have to close this closet door, it's gonna bug me. Crave symmetry.
Okay, so much better.
So before I started this stream Just kind of noodling around the guitar, and I haven't even— I haven't looked at the prompt. Well, I looked at earlier today, but I haven't pulled up the prompt yet. But I have a vibe. I have a little bit of a goal with this challenge, and that is to like write really mellow shit. Like, I— we traveled for Thanksgiving, we went and saw family, it was amazing. And I feel like, gosh, we've been traveling a lot this month and Every time we are somewhere like at a restaurant or a coffee shop or like out where there's live music or there could be live music or it's a great listening environment, I'm always like, I wanna come here, post up in the corner and just play mellow shit and sing in my head voice for like 4 hours and just be vibey and laid back and everyone's gonna sip fancy cocktails and like have a nice mellow evening. That's my goal. So those are the songs that I'm gonna try and write during these challenge. I came up with something yesterday that would, I think, work in that set. So anyway, that's probably what I'm gonna be writing today. If you are writing, um, say hello. Let me know if you're writing. Drop a little, hey, I'm writing, in the chat. We got Scott Phillips over on Instagram. Hi, Scott! I mean, I'm sorry, not Instagram, YouTube. This is Instagram. This is YouTube. This is fun. This is chaos. All right, I'm going to share this video, share this stream over in the challenge Facebook group. If you'd like to join us for the Five in Five, you can sign up over at songfancy.com/fiveinfive.
Join us.
Hi, Philip. Or hi, Scott. Scott Phillips. And you guys, if you'd like to join us, you can join us at salonfancy.com/5in5. While I'm getting set up over here, for anybody who doesn't know, the 5in5 is a speed songwriting challenge that I host every couple of months. And we're doing it this week. It's happening this week for 5 days. We're all coming together to work on writing songs every day, a song a day every day for 5 whole days. And each day I post a prompt, a songwriting prompt inside of our Facebook group. So you can come use the prompt. You don't have to have any ideas to get started. You can just log into the group, see what today's prompt is, and then you have 24 hours to write a song to that prompt. Hi, welcome! Okie doke, let's share this link inside the Facebook group. Hi friends, live streaming over on Instagram @sarahspencermusic and also on YouTube. It's chaos. No, it's not. You're welcome to come hang.
Okay, put my Instagram link.
Oh, it's 3:11. It's my lucky number.
Perfect.
It's kind of silly to post a link to Instagram inside of a Facebook group, but whatever, that's okay. Hi, Profitable Musician LLC, welcome! I like your business by the name of it. That sounds amazing. Wait a minute, I've been following you. You look very familiar from your profile photo, but I can't quite see who you are, but I feel like Profitable Musician is Vaguely familiar. I feel like I might be following you. Hi, anyway, welcome. So let's pull up today's prompt and I'll show you guys what I'm working with. Over on Instagram, you guys would be able to see. Oh my gosh, can I screen— I can— I'm using Zoom, I can screen share. Scream share. Scream share. Scream share. There's a joke in there somewhere, but I will go ahead over on YouTube. I'm going to show you guys what today's prompt is by screen sharing. Doop, doop, doop. Share. Perfect. So here is day 2 inside of the Facebook group. And for my friends here on Instagram, here is what we're looking at. So we have our prompt and then we also have an amplifier. And amplifiers are like optional little add-ons that you can add on to your prompt. And just to like give you even more railings if you want to hold on to some railings musically. So I'll show you what I mean. So here's the prompt. Today's prompt is, I dare you to use a triple-A rhyme scheme somewhere in your song. And so this is the prompt. This is where everybody is starting. This is what everybody's writing to. And if you want a little musical inspiration as well, you also have the option to use the amplifier. So today's amplifier is place a key change somewhere in your song. I already know that I don't want to struggle with that, so I'm probably not going to add a key change. Key changes on guitar when you are not a guitarist, um, are pretty difficult, although I have seen people pull it off with a capo before, uh, with a capo, and it's pretty sweet. It's a pretty cool trick on stage. Um, okay, I dare you to use a triple-A rhyme scheme. So I think I already know the mood. I think I even already know some the music that I want to write to, write with. So let's get into it. If you're writing today, let me know in chat on Instagram or YouTube. Just give me a little like, hey, I'm writing, because I'd love to know if anybody else is participating in the challenge right now. Scott says, I'm a songwriter as well. Awesome, this seems like fun. My work schedule and kids makes this challenge seem impossible, but it seems like an awesome idea. Scott, you're welcome to join if you register over at Song Fancy. Join, get in the group, and you can just sort of lurk around whenever is convenient for you to log in. But you should totally grab the prompts as they come up. I do clear out the prompts at the end of every challenge. So if you want to sign up and just snag the 5 prompts from this challenge, then you'll have them and you can use them and you can write to them. Whatever you want. So this is kind of what I was fiddling around with.
We'll see.
I'm not a very groovy guitar player. Um, okay, I'm also going to pull up a lyric sheet. We're going to get my little screen situated over here. Exit full screen, please. I don't want to see a full screen on my face, thanks. Tile window. Okay, perfect.
So let's make a new Google Doc. Google Doc.
And Google Docs, yes, create that beat. All right, so we're going to call this Day 2, and then I know my prompt is to use an AAA rhyme scheme song, and then I can also try and do a key change if I want to. Okay, I love this. This is fun. This is sort of like a free write because prompts are, are usually pretty lyrical, like our word sets and stuff are usually like, use these words in your song, or like, here's a phrase and like turn this phrase into a song. So this one has— this one's pretty open-ended. There's no like, um, major like lyrical direction. You just have to use a certain rhyme scheme. So if you're writing along with me, or if you haven't started your song yet, you have a couple options. Things that are coming to mind to me right away are like, okay, I can look at existing ideas that I have I'm really— which I think I'm going to do that today. I kind of want to write from something I have already. Or you can just pick your rhyming words. I feel like that would be really fun too. Like, start off by giving yourself little clusters of AAA rhymes and see if a story emerges from them. You can even challenge yourself and pick words that are like sort of not easy words, you know. Like, easy words, low-hanging fruit words would be like day, say, prey, or night, fight, light. Like, those are kind of all super easy and go-tos, but you could just pick weird words. Um, what is— what is around here that is weird? Uh, I'm like, what rhymes with anything? Um, guitar. Subpar, like my rhyming, um, superstar. Like, you could just sort of really dig around and find some interesting words and see if a story starts to emerge from those words. I think I'm gonna stick with just going through my own idea list of like song starts that I have and see if there's anything that I want to do with this vibe and with this AAA rhyme scheme. Singing.
Watching you, babe. Something nice in me.
Okay, I think I am going to use this idea. This is an idea that's been in here for a long time called Bad Poetry, and I have just a little bit of free writing based on it.
Hi, Michael!
What's up?
Um, I'm going to show you guys what I got. So just sort of the bare bones of the idea. Bad poetry. It's like bad po— please, this is so cringy to read out loud, but it's like bad poetry what you say to me, like you're on stage with everyone watching. You read a baby but it's empty, worn outlines, nothing in between. I see how you're gonna treat me, it's like bad poetry. Why did I put bathroom? I think I put the bathroom reader in there like in reference to those like big thick books that people keep on the backs of their toilets that you can read when you're Taking a poo. But anyway, I thought that was a good idea at the time. That's okay. That is what our notebooks are for, to collect all of our ideas, and then we can decide later if we want to use them or not. Who knows, there may be the perfect song somewhere to reference the bathroom reader.
I think that's gonna be my chorus.
Um, I wanna say slow motion, something like I would like watching your lips move, but it's a tragedy or something. Scott says, thanks for the info, check it out when I get home. Yeah, man, you're welcome, anytime. I don't know if you're still on the stream, but you are so more than welcome to come register, check out the challenge. You don't have to fully participate this time or anything, just pop in, see if you like it. Uh, like, it's like lip service. What's another word for lip service? The thing about this challenge— they— hi, Michael, John, Ruth. Oh my gosh, Michael, Michael, and Michael and John, or Julio. I'm sorry, I read that wrong. Welcome. Hi everybody, thanks for popping in. Um, the thing about this challenge is that it's a speed songwriting challenge and you want to come up with a song every day for 5 days, right? And The key is to just write, to just get it out, um, not censor yourself, not edit, not try and write the perfect song on the first go. Like, you want to come up with just a draft, like have all of your pieces filled in, have all your parts filled in, you know, have a full melody, have a line everywhere there needs to be a line, no blank spaces, um, unless you're Taylor Swift. That's a terrible joke. I don't know why I said that. Um, but yeah, if you focus on editing while we're writing, we tend to shut ourselves down really quickly. And there's going to be a measure of editing that you do when you're looking at the things that you're coming up with. You're going to pick the best of what you're coming up with in the moment. But for this challenge, you want to stay just real true to like, okay, let's just write, let's just get it out. And if I think that I don't like it, okay, that's you know, if it's good enough for right now, I'm gonna move on. I'm gonna finish the song for the sake of the challenge. And then not— I'm not gonna allow myself to get so caught up in, oh my God, is this good? Oh my God, do I, do I like it? Will anybody else like it? Is it good? Is it gonna help me get to my dreams or my goals? Like, we don't need that kind of pressure. Like, we're not thinking about our dreams in this moment as much as we're thinking about expressing and writing and taking it from here and from here and putting it out into the world. So it's a long way around for me to say, um, the fact that I'm in thesaurus.com right now looking for synonyms for the word lip service is— that's kind of a cue for me to realize that I'm probably editing too much as I'm writing. Like, everybody's, um, line is going to look a little different from like what is, what is too far into the editing phase for me versus what is too far into the editing phase for y'all. It's gonna look different, um, but for me I feel like this is probably the sign of me diving down a rabbit hole. Randall, what's up? Welcome! Van Zon, welcome! Okay, I just started writing. So lip service, we have words: empty talk, hollow words, hypocrisy, sweet talk, smooth talk, lie, lip devotion, lip reverence. That's funny. Mouth honor. That's hilarious. Okay, well, I'm gonna move away from thesaurus. Um, I actually am going to move things. I have all this free writing and it needs to go on my Google Docs.
So. [SPEAKING CHINESE] Liking.
I'm just gonna put lip service for now. I don't like the way that sings. The way you, the way you talk to me, the way you love me, the way you interact with me.
Hey Ariel, what's up?
Digo— digo— I'm so sorry, I'm gonna mess that up. Welcome! Welcome to the stream. Maybe it is just the way you love me.
Way you love me.
I'm so sorry, I butchered your name. You're so sweet to clap.
[SPEAKING CHINESE] To read.
Something about to read.
Like a lot of watching this tragedy, watching your lips read tragedy.
Maybe it's like your lips something tragic.
Maybe your lips tragedy the way you talk. Love me.
Yikes.
Are you saying like you're almost late? I can't be late.
Maybe those are just gonna be my verses. My verses will be 3. This could be cool. My verses will be 3 lines and they'll all rhyme. Hey, Tony, what's up? And that'll be my AAA rhyme for the prompt. And then I'll have my chorus be this really, uh, this 4-line of what I'm going for here is like, and I hope I can nail it, versus creating a sense of like instability and the chorus creating a sense of stability. So in the song, song is going to be about like not being— like being knocked off balance by this person and then realizing Here's why they're an asshole, they're a jerk, and they lie to me all the time. Okay.
Like you're on a stage, some what you say, you're on a stage.
Like you're on a stage.
It's always play, that's always the play.
The words that you say I'm speed writing here.
Words, words that you say, like your own mistakes. That's always a play. I, everyone, I can read in between.
Okay, and I'm And I've—
and I have nothing to read there in between.
I don't know if that makes sense, but we'll get there.
Hi Will, what's up dude?
Welcome, welcome. We have some Five and Five all-stars in the chat right now on Instagram. How's it going gang? Check on my YouTube chat.
Thank you, Scott.
I have a few finished songs at the moment, but about 100 riffs and concepts that I'm working on. This could help light a fire under me. Oh, I hope so. This is why, this is why I stream, is to like, I don't know, I hope, hope to inspire and make you guys like feel awesome and inspired about writing songs. And I just like to sing sometimes. Idaho Randall, what's up? Welcome, thanks for coming in. I hope so. Well, anyway, I just said it out loud on the stream, so I don't need to like write what I just said. Lyrical Vicky Poet, welcome, welcome, babe. We love a poet. Oh girl, I'm writing a song called Bad Poetry right now. That's cool. I love when artists of other— writers and artists of other disciplines join the songwriting challenge, join the Five in Five Song Challenge. That like lights me up. Poets, composers, people who primarily consider themselves musicians, like I love it.
Good afternoon.
Okay, we're going to start piecing this together. I have, um, something that's starting to take shape. Okay.
I'm like, where's my lyrics?
Words that you say, it's like your own mercy, it's always the place. I got nothing to read.
Okay, that doesn't rhyme.
There in between.
In between.
I—
okay, I should undo it now. What's my pickup?
I got nothing to read. There in between.
Lines. You're not getting too descriptive, but I kind of like it. I actually have a piece of poetry I took from my trash can on Songspace that I'm looking to rewrite. Hell yeah, go for it, do it. I'm curious, what brought you to Songspace? Do you write? Do you collaborate with musicians? Do you write music?
Words that you say, it's like your own message. That's our way to play. I got nothing to read. There in between, find me.
I think we need a break.
Your lips are something tragedy.
Your lips are giving. Your lips are serving tragedy. Your lips are—
now your lips speak in Chadian.
I don't know, maybe it's just like the low-hanging fruit, so I don't know.
Your lips speak in Chadian.
Let's see.
I write poetry and have been writing poetry for a while, and I'm looking to turn my poetry into song lyrics.
That is so awesome!
Awesome, I love that. Sound Inside, what's up?
Welcome to the stream.
I'm looking to turn my poetry into song lyrics. So that's awesome. So Vicki, tell me more. Like, are you looking to like write music on your own? Like start writing music? Are you looking to find musicians to collaborate with? I'm just curious. Cool, let's see. I'll check on YouTube real quick. Hot quick. Pulled up.
Okay.
<LYRICS>Words that you say, it's like your own stage that's always in play.</LYRICS> Your lips are speaking tragedy the way you love me.
Your lips speak, your lips Yeah, your lips speak in Chinese. I don't know, it's kind of corny, but whatever, we're speed writing.
That's the way you love.
I don't know, man, we have a whole second verse to mention the bathroom raider. Richard, what's up? Vicky says, I would like to become a lyricist and write lyrics for singers because I don't write music. That's awesome, I love that. You should absolutely reach out to some singers. Meta Sonics joined, welcome. Oops, I don't know what I just pressed, but wave, hi. Um, yeah, I mean, I don't know if you want unsolicited advice, but like, reach out to some singers, girl. Like message them on Instagram, like, I love your voice. Have you ever written music before? I'm a lyricist, I'm a poet, and I'd love to collaborate with you. I think reaching out to singers is a great idea, especially if you see that they don't have a lot of original music on their, like, Facebook— or I'm sorry, on their Instagram profile. It might mean that they are just starting to write music, and if you're just starting to write music as well, it could be a really, really great Friendship. I should record this. Um, let's get my little voice memo recorder out. How long also— how long have we been streaming for? Zoom, what say you? 38 minutes? Okay, that's fine. All right. Oh, I guess we're recording.
Okay.
Um.
Words that you say. It's like you're on a stage, that's always the play. I have been the reed there in between the lies that you weave.
Getting ahead of myself.
We're just recording the voice note. Um, this is Bad Poetry 1.
Cool.
It's like this.
Missing line in the chorus.
The kind you gotta squint through.
That you make sound, um, make sound like a dream. That's kind of what I want to say, but it's just This is like not the best line.
It's like bye-bye poetry. You make sound, make sound like a dream. But your lips speak in tragedy.
That's the way. We'll keep it. We'll keep it for now. We're speed writing, and I know that I can make it better, but we're just gonna move on. Nikki says, I'm working on a piece called Love on the Back Burner. That's the piece I took from my trash can on Songspace. Hell yeah, work it till it's finished, girl. Work it till you love it.
It's awesome.
All right, and what happens next? Second verse comes. I was mostly— all of this was written based on the little notes that I had in my, uh, like, note-keeping app, just, just from the free write. And now I don't have any more, like, raw material to use, so I'm gonna have to, like, use my brain and come up with a second verse.
Um, speak in tragedy, that's the way you love me. Empowering-oyster, empowering-oyster.
I don't know what I'm saying here, but I just kind of want to roll with it. Time to break. Go jump in a lake with your Salisbury steak pieces of wedding cake. Oh no, piss into the wedding cake. What the? Is this an actual figure of speech? It is. Piss into the wedding cake: to spoil someone's pleasure or celebration by doing or saying something harsh or unseemly in an otherwise happy gathering.
That's funny.
T-bone steak.
JP Sounds, what's up? Welcome. Les, what's up? It's so good to see you in here. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the stream. To the stream.
I'm calling these songwriting, like, 5 in 5 sessions song streams because I'm original like that. I'm sure somebody else has come up with that, but yeah, welcome to the song stream. Man, what rhymes? Make, break, tempo and space. 5 and 8, 10 and 1. Pretend it's not a mistake.
Hmm.
Something like a mistake. Right to the hook, right to the hook. Bad poetry. This is a person who's like deceptive. I'm trying to write him as an asshole boyfriend. Like, this is a deceptive person who is just saying whatever they need to to their significant other to get what they want. It's like bad poetry that you make sound like a dream. Your lips speak in tragedy. So dramatic. The way— that's the way you love me. Um, so this person is just only out for themselves. I should name this Google Doc.
Bad poetry.
All right, we're gonna do a little free writing because my brain needs to just kind of maybe get the wheels turning again. It's like bad poetry that you make sound like a dream. Your lips speak in tragedy. That's the way you love me. I don't really know any better now.
I blame you, but I have to because you taken you, making you steal and you turn you into thief. Just to get your way.
I never understood why until now. You like— yeah, you need the attention. Saurus.com. Consideration, care. Okay, we're coming up on some interesting rhymes now. To listen, to tell you, to prove to you that you are— I'm supposed to say nothing great according to the grammar. Let's go with I've been using WikirhymeR for years, um, but I just recently started using RhymeZone and it's awesome. It's so great. Um, the fact that you can search by syllable, I mean, that's like so helpful. What are some near rhymes? Nuclear fission. Addiction. I mean, but that's, um, competition.
Is that your—
I want to say like that you're worth loving, like worth listening to. Where are some Sims worth it? Worthy? I wonder if I break the rhyme scheme here.
I like it.
That could be kind of interesting.
All right, we're gonna—
there's a lot going on in this Google Doc.
Oh my, hi Beams! Welcome!
Twin Kennies in the house, y'all! Gabook, welcome! Okay, I'm gonna play through what I have. It's not much.
Words that you say, second you're wrong. The stage that's always played. I got nothing to read there in between the lines that you leave. I don't ever preach, no. You love me. Second, you break temple and say like you made a mistake.
Okay, I definitely need to work on the second verse. You— I just like the way it comes in.
The second you break, tempo is face, I can't let him stay.
Like, I think that could be played off, but I don't know really what it's saying. And I do like, you need the attention, someone to listen. I just don't think they're connecting, but maybe I just move on. This is a speed writing challenge. Maybe I just kind of get a vibe down, get something down, and then when— who knows, when I go back and listen to this in like 2 weeks, I might hear something completely different and be able to, to edit and make it better. I do need a pre though. I don't, don't have a pre and I need a pre. Thanks guys. Thanks for writing. Read-throughs sound like professional recordings. Oh my god, thank you. Thanks. Thanks for sharing your writing process. I have to go now. Thanks for popping in, Van. I know, sorry, my cell is choppy with your session, but glad to be part of this. Hey dude, no worries. I hope you're enjoying what you're hearing. Um, yeah, for anybody who doesn't know, who's new on the stream, I am writing a song as part of the Five in Five Song Challenge. So this is a 5-day speed songwriting challenge that I'm hosting, um, and the challenge is taking place over inside of our Facebook group. So if you want to join The link is pinned here, songfancy.com/5in5. You are free— or you are free— it is free and you are welcome to join and come hang out. It's a good time. And I don't think the link is pinned on YouTube. Can I pin it? Yeah, sweet, thanks. So we're writing a song every day. 5 days, and this is today's song for me. Um, it's going well. My momentum is getting better at this. Every time I do a challenge, I feel like I get a little better at it.
Um, I got nothing to read there in between the lines that you leave. You think you got it down to an art. You're really just a jerk.
You're a fart. You're a fart.
You think you got it down to an art. Everybody's waiting on the next one.
Is that Art. What are some words that could rhyme with that?
Excuse me.
You think you got it down to an art. Yeah, you think you get it. Yeah, you think I'm falling hard.
Oh man, yeah, you had me falling hard. Yeah, you had me falling hard.
But it's all like bye bye, won't you? Like nothing to eat. There in between the lines that you leave. Yeah, you think you got it down to an art. Yeah, you have me falling hard, but it's like—
Okay, I'm gonna try and make a little voice memo. Don't forget this pre. I feel like I've already forgotten it. We'll see how it goes.
Words that you say like you're on a stage, that's always the play. I've got nothing to read there in between the lines that you leave. Yeah, you think you got it down to an art. Yeah, you had me falling hard, but it's like playing bad poetry. You make sound like a dream, your lips I feel like I have another song with this exact hook.
It's a wedding song. It's not a, not a fuck you asshole song. These verses just are not flowing. Oh, I'm still recording. I think I may call it here. We've been streaming for about an hour and I feel like it's a good place to stop. So thank you guys so much for joining in on Instagram, on YouTube, on Facebook. Thank you guys. I really appreciate y'all. I don't know, just spending time with me, popping in. It really is nice. To spend this time together. So thank you, uh, and I hope that this inspired you to write. If you are a writer and you are feeling like you're in a block, I hope that this, um, is a fun, helpful moment to remember what songwriting is like. And if you'd like to join this challenge, check out songfancy.com/5in5. And something special is actually happening after this challenge. I'm opening up registration for Song Club, but not registration, enrollment. I'm opening up enrollment for Song Club again, just for a quick limited holiday opening immediately after the challenge ends. So Song Club is my paid membership community. And it's a lot like the Five in Five Song Challenge, except we keep it up all year long. So you have this wonderful pace that you've established in the Five in Five, you write songs, you've proven to yourself that you can write songs like at the drop of a hat when you want to, you don't have to listen to your inner critic. And then what? The challenge ends and it becomes a little bit, I don't know, just disorienting without the structure of the challenge. Song Club offers that structure throughout the year. We're not writing a song every day, but we are doing weekly live writing sessions, which are a lot like this where I stream for an hour and I give you like little cues, hey, you know, we're halfway through. And we chat and we write and we have a good time. And it's kind of like your, like weekly songwriting appointment with yourself, but with friends. And it's a lot, it's a lot like study hall is kind of what I compare it to, because we're all working on our own songs independently, but we come together to do it. And it's a great time. We also have weekly song prompts, a really great forum, great discussions, great opportunities to share your music, and lots of cool stuff coming in 2022. So join the challenge if you want a free kick in the ass. Who wants that? Who wants that? I want that personally. Join the 5 in 5 Song Challenge for a free songwriting challenge that is a kick in the ass. And stick around for Song Club. We're going to be opening our doors again at the end of the week. So Thank you guys so much for tuning in. I will talk to you later. Bye, gang. Okay, I'm gonna sign off Instagram first.
Bye!
And Zoom.
