2.    Any Song that causes you to Reflect on this Year (in other words ANYTHING you like)
3.    Any Song that makes you Think about the New Yearor Mentions the New Year

It can be an Original,  a Cover or an Instrumental.  Let’s see what you can all come up with.

READY ... SET ... GO!!!

I wanted to do this in a previous FSOTM, so, in a way, it's a reflection of the year, "Sunny": https://youtu.be/Jo2rpwMx6IQ

Re: DECEMBER 2018 FSOTM - CHRISTMAS SONGS, REFLECTION, NEW YEAR

I will just re-submit a song I wrote from last year. I am working on one for this year but have very little time to progress it past an ititial thought.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakah, or just plain Happy Holidays-  to all my Chordy friends ! May you  have an enjoyable and healthy end of the year with family and friends, remember those we have lost, and celebrate the good things and new beginnings yet to come.
Love to all of you

neo .... great guitar work on ~Sunny~.  The guitar made it i think on this one.  ~I can see clearly now~, an oldie but a goodie.  I think of the 2 songs, Sunny was the better, your guitar work really worked on this one.

TIG ..... still a great song written by you and of course not to mention how it was covered vocally and musically.   Loved it as much as I did the first time listening to it.  This could easily be heard on the radio and people sing along to it.

This is "I'm on fire", not a big Springsteen fan, but I like this song: https://youtu.be/NjH127hgrTI

Re: DECEMBER 2018 FSOTM - CHRISTMAS SONGS, REFLECTION, NEW YEAR

I was hoping to write a song based around this news article, but am rapidly running out of time .... I'm putting this here as a placeholder to remind myself, and possibly put it up in the New Year.
