100 Second Song Challenge
-
@andygriff Feb 2022
Had an idea for a challenge, apologies if someone's already done this. There are some wonderful songs out there at around two minutes' duration or less... "For No One" and "Good Day Sunshine" from The Beatles 'Revolver' album spring immediately to mind. I think "Eleanor Rigby" is around that length too.
How much song can you fit into 100 seconds?
If you have a go, please tag it #100secondsong and post it here :)
Here's my attempt: https://fawm.org/songs/132394/ -
@helenseviltwin Feb 2022
I expect most of the songs tagged "punk" for into this challenge :P
-
@spazsquatch Feb 2022
Ha, before the thread even loaded I was thinking "what would I fill the last 20 seconds with". #punk.
I'm in. This feels like a good opportunity to dig through that seed folder for something that I thought was good, but never evolved beyond the line or two. -

I do love tiny songs. Here's one I made earlier. 98 seconds.

@andygetch Feb 2022
Such as it is. I exported it six times and got either 99 or 101 seconds each time so I went with one of the 99 second ones. https://fawm.org/songs/132566/

@richaaaay Feb 2022
I like this challenge. I've already posted a song that would qualify. It says it's 102 seconds but there is for sure 2 seconds of silence at the end. I may try to do another one after I clear my plate. I like 100 second songs!
Here's the one I've already posted:

@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
A lot of my songs are that short but I could maybe take part by taking it to mean exactly 100 seconds
-
@erikleppen Feb 2022
Ha, @mardeycranbleson , I have noted your "exactly 100 seconds" as an idea for a future non-fawm album, so thanks! :)
I could do one for FAWM. I often throw one or two shorties in the mix :) -
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Clocking in at 97 seconds... Actinium https://fawm.org/songs/132621/

@jtsteam Feb 2022
100 seconds is very quick. You know what else is handy if you need something very quick? Here is an ode to a kitchen appliance: https://fawm.org/songs/132853/
It is complete nonsense. I apologise in advance. -
@gubna Feb 2022
I keep reading this as the 100 Song Challenge! - Maybe next year.

@keithcuts Feb 2022
Right At 100 seconds ...

Here's a wicked short one. About donuts. Hmmmm, donuts. -
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
This one is I think just about the correct length for this challenge
a collab with bill white

Had a couple minutes to spare. -
@tippyteapot Feb 2022
Here's mine - I thought it was 60 seconds, so I'm underbudget on this one: https://fawm.org/songs/133630/
-
@cjk Feb 2022
Not quite 100 seconds, just slightly over a minute, but close enough.
https://fawm.org/songs/131061/ -
@erikleppen Feb 2022
I've got one, but mostly out of necessity, as I didn't know how to expand on it... Oh well. It's a very average and uninteresting instrumental song by the way. https://fawm.org/songs/134277/
-
@pabrizzer Feb 2022
it's a second short

@headfirstonly Feb 2022
I did a sixty second song last year and decided that making one wasn't difficult enough, so I made the lyrics haikus. As you do.

@celineellis Feb 2022
Oooo going to enjoy listening to the posted songs for this challenge!!

@mikeb Feb 2022
I used 4 challenges for this song! One Synth, 100 Second, Full Moon and Muse Tools! https://fawm.org/songs/134618/
-
@hamiltonpoolhall Feb 2022
@mikeb, a man after my own heart! I used this challenge and the Haunted Banjo, plus a prompt from the Muse as well:

@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
My latest song happened to come in under the wire, structured like a regular song but shorter. https://fawm.org/songs/134675/
-
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
I actually tried to hit this 100 second threshold... it even got a bit of an intro and outro, but still clocks in at 70 seconds. https://fawm.org/songs/134768/
-
@prsongsmith Feb 2022
Closer to 80 seconds - "The End of the World, Part 2" https://fawm.org/songs/135599/ (FYI, this is a response to my other "End of the World" song from earlier in the month https://fawm.org/songs/127239/ so you might want to check that out, too)
-
@liz561 Feb 2022
Mine is pretty damn close to the 100 (93 sec) and this has got to be the most outrageous song I have ever done!!
https://fawm.org/songs/136000/ -
@pabrizzer Feb 2022
a couple of seconds short
https://fawm.org/songs/136021/ -
@tcelliott Feb 2022
Not sure if under 100 seconds counts but I have one just under 60 seconds that I really like:
https://fawm.org/songs/136202/ -
@rayboneor Feb 2022
I'm usually running out of steam at around 60 seconds, so 100 is challenging indeed! :)
-
@robotkitten Feb 2022
Even shorter--about a minute! https://fawm.org/songs/137503/
-
@thomasfred Feb 2022
Here’s two I have. One’s a song with lyrics, the other an instrumental. https://fawm.org/songs/129238/
https://fawm.org/songs/135621/ -
@leka Feb 2022
Oh, this one qualifies too https://fawm.org/songs/135826/
-
@danvaillancourt Feb 2022
I love doing short snippets for FAWM. There is something fun about those short songs to tell a short story or just skip the extras. I think I have four this year under the wire, maybe a couple others. My #100secondsong songs: 8, 9, 16, 18
-
@robotkitten Feb 2022
My recording app claims this is 103 seconds, though the FAWM site clocks it at 107. https://fawm.org/songs/138223/
-
@robotkitten Feb 2022
Another one just over 100! https://fawm.org/songs/138361/
-
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
"Hank's Tank" 97 sec, close enough for FAWM work.
https://fawm.org/songs/134832/ -
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
Some real shorties:
"Emerald Isle" :67 https://fawm.org/songs/133676/
"Nerdy Gerdy" :74 https://fawm.org/songs/132503/
"Bring The Heat" :58 https://fawm.org/songs/127225/ -
@wobbiewobbit Feb 2022
not 100 seconds either, but i am keen to do more of these short songs, i have always thrown the odd short one in, but i think with tiktok and youtube shorts, there is going to be a bit of a boom for this short form. here are the short ones i have done this year:
https://fawm.org/songs/126621/ Hardcore Parkour (56s)
https://fawm.org/songs/126797/ Good Value (39s) (least fave if you are choosing one)
https://fawm.org/songs/131610/ (80s) Oh Hi Lo Fi
https://fawm.org/songs/134738/ Stylish (Like Billie Eilish) (48s) (video)
https://fawm.org/songs/136674/ (58s) Daffodils (fave of these)
