Ever find yourself in a creative slump, unsure what song to cover next? As musicians, we all hit that wall sometimes. Staring at our instruments, hoping for inspiration to strike. Well, fellow musicians and A Day to Remember fans, I've got a little something that might just reignite your passion: a random A Day to Remember song picker!
I've created a simple webpage (you can even copy and paste the code below into a text file, save it as an HTML file, and open it in your browser!) that randomly selects a song from A Day to Remember's extensive discography. No more endless scrolling through their albums, agonizing over which track to tackle. Just a single click and BAM! You've got your next challenge.
How Does It Work?
It's super easy. The page features a button that, when clicked, triggers a JavaScript function. This function randomly picks a song from a pre-defined list of A Day to Remember tracks (everything from "Intro" to "Last Chance to Dance (Bad Friend)"). The chosen song title is then displayed on the page.
Why Did I Make This?
I'm a huge ADTR fan, and I often find myself wanting to learn or cover their songs. But sometimes, the sheer number of awesome tracks they have can be overwhelming. I wanted a quick and easy way to shake things up and push myself out of my comfort zone. Plus, I thought other musicians might find it useful too!
How Can You Use It?
- Challenge Yourself: Pick a song you've never played before and learn it. This is a great way to expand your musical vocabulary and improve your skills.
- Break Out of a Rut: If you're stuck playing the same old songs, this tool can help you discover hidden gems in ADTR's catalog.
- Practice Different Styles: A Day to Remember blends pop punk and metalcore, so this random picker can push you to explore different playing techniques.
- Just Have Fun! Ultimately, music should be enjoyable. This tool is a fun way to engage with ADTR's music and discover new favorites.
