RCVN do we write an anthem or is it anything goes?

Tis' a chance to write your personal anthem, let's aim at originals this month - which could be inspired by a cover? Genre wise, I've interpreted it as pretty much anything goes.

    I might have some cheese for this wine ?.

    The collabs are going to be cool i think.. cool challenge

      I like that I can compose something.....hmmmm hopefully I get it done in time lol

        V8 share blurb on origin and why you see it as your anthem

        Please just clarify this part for me. What do you mean by "blurp on origin" ?

        Must we just write and record an anthem ? For example "We Will Rock You" as a Rock Anthem.

            RodneyVikens What do you mean by "blurp on origin"

            Ahh, @Stoffeltoo had a little typo there - I'm fairly sure he meant "Blurb on origin" - that is, what inspired you to pick that style/genre as your personal anthem. It's optional, though it's fun to write a little background to the tune - we get to know each other a bit better through the challenge process?

            Pretty much! Just to clarify, though I'm sure you understand it already - we're encouraging original compositions this month.

                Hey guys. I've been very absent on the forum. Work sucks and will continue to do so forever. Meh.

                This challenge has got my attention alright and I am very intrigued, but to clarify...

                V8 what inspired you to pick that style/genre as your personal anthem.

                So the anthem should be related to a style?

                OR...

                My anthem. As in, how I feel 'bout music?

                I have an Afrikaans song that I have been aching to get done properly. This may just be the kick in the "insert body part here" that i need.

                I mean I am pretty sure we can literally go with anything right? Just wanted to make sure of the rules.

                Now where the heck is that pick...

                    EXACTLY! I reckon you've hit the proverbial nail on the proverbial head - two thumbups ?

                    Pretty much! Whatever gets ya to press that infernal blinking red record button (and makes us fret ?)

                      Cool. This one is gonna be fun. Now just to find time.

                      Picking a genre will be interesting as I mostly like, rock, blues, acoustic, jazz, metal, classic .... Mmmm....

                      Can I go with RBAJMC?

                            Aha - though google couldn't give me even a sniff of a clue on RBAJMC ?

                            Yip - any genre that makes you wanna Anthem. There I made a verb. Probably shouldn't but I did anyways.

                              RodneyVikens Song is mostly arranged and scratch guitars recorded. Need to finish up leads, bass and refine drums then will re-record the tracks properly. Not much of a singer so it'll definitely be an instrumental lol

                              Find it much easier to use an amp VST to get scratch tracks in while songwriting then will fire up the Marshall and my pedals to finalize ?

                                RodneyVikens I've got a riff, it grooves sweetly but there's no B and C section yet. Story of my songwriting life, get one idea and it withers as I try extend it.

                                It IS a good riff though!

                                  I've got the guitar pretty much sorted, struggling to get lyrics and melody to fit. If it goes pear-shaped I might just submit as an instrumental.
