Since I added most of these so I wouldn’t be caught out, if you still have a song that you were thinking about suggesting send it to me. Yikes–it all starts on Monday!
Last week (was it really? It feels much longer ago than that. My sense of time has evaporated!) when I revealed my Theme, I said that I might throw the option out there for you all to volunteer songs that you might think would make for great flash fiction inspirations. Instead of a photo or word prompt, we’ll call it a song prompt.
I’m opening it up. If you have a suggestion, put it in the comments. You can offer as many as you want although I will only take two suggestions for every letter. Regarding the letters, if a song begins with “a” or “the” we’ll take the second word. So, for “The Weight,” it would be “w.”
My only request is that the song not be too obscure and that I can find a video on youtube. And, I mostly don’t care about the genre as long as it offers inspiration. Many thanks for taking part in the challenge with me! I hope you won’t be disappointed in what I come up with for your song. 😀

That should be a “love” button instead of a “liked” button. Thank you! 🙂
Hehe, of course! You’re welcome 😇
🙂
Sorry Cheap Thrills is Sia. That’s what I thought first, but thought I was wrong lol
I was on youtube and there actually was one that said it was with Rihanna and I listened for a while but didn’t wait to see if she actually showing up. I figured I’d use the video with the dance because it’s so cool. 🙂
Oh neat 🙂 Yeah whatever works, the song I downloaded from ITunes is Sia with Sean Paul. It very good. It’s not Rihanna though. But? Maybe she has a version, I don’t know?
L ~ Landslide by Stevie Nicks

Oops, and too many songs might get me banned. Lol! I got carried away… I can keep going but let me stop there.
All the best!
I’m looking forward to readings the posts. I don’t know how the A to Z works but I guess I can just read, and maybe write, daily posts.
Oooooo, thank you so much, Anne! I can use all the help I can get and it’s always fun when others suggest songs because then it’s not my usual go-to songs. I’ve heard most of these so this should be fun!
Here’s the link to the
a to z challenge
if you want to check it out. This will be my third year and I’ve found it fun as well as it’s given me the opportunity to discover new bloggers.
I hope you are feeling better and are writing again?
Take care and thanks again! 🙂
Awesome! 😊
Thanks so much, Sascha. I’m taking baby steps… slowly but surely, I hope.
I did check it out. It sounds like fun, indeed. I think I missed the theme reveal thing already and I thought I saw something that master list or something being closed. I’m still thinking of doing it even if I don’t link to it and just kinda join in for the joyride without the formality. 🙈😋
All the best then for April. ❤🤗😘
You can sign up for the challenge until April 6. The theme reveal closed yesterday, but that’s no biggie. 🙂
Fantastic! I will do that. I am even kinda excited. I need to prepare this weekend for the first posts, at least. The Travel blog has lots of images so the selection, editing, labeling. It will keep me out of mischief. 😋😆
Thank you so much, Sascha.
So I’m just going to throw a few out there the ones that popped into my head straight away, don’t know if they’ll be of use:
Aventine – Agnel Obel
The Chain – Fleetwood Mac
Keep Your Head Up – Ben Howard
Video Games – Lana Del Ray
Under the Stars – John Legend
😊
Thank you so much, Kate. I love both Lana Del Ray and John Legend and wouldn’t even have thought to include them here so yay! 🙂
“Boy in the Bubble”Alec Benjamin I know you already got B, sorry.)
“Prom Queen” Mary Kate Kestner
Thanks!
“In The End” Linkin Park
That was last week’s Music Monday song. Good song!
yeah, i saw that after I posted it. lol. XD
That is a sweet list!!
Only thing… now I’ve seen your list I will have to ensure I don’t steal any of your songs… I’m doing an Alternative A to Z and also include a song or two each day… more to promote my internet radio agenda and because I love music! Mine will be totally random… as in today’s topic is Green!
Have fun, I’ll call around as often as possible!! 😉
I don’t mind if you “steal.” I’ve already not used two of the daily suggested songs. That’s what happens when you don’t write ahead! 🙂
Yep… tis better to be random!! Enjoy your daily grind! 😉
