Concept albums can be tricky to pull off, but long before I picked up the guitar I thought this would be a superb title for an album (or indeed a book) 
Itās the title of a questionnaire used in psychiatry to assess peopleās risk of experiencing long-term threat based on 12 life event categories.
One song (or chapter) for each question/category.
They are, of course, all depressing, which makes for the best kind of music
Iām so glad youāre not asking us to tick boxes that apply to our own lives 
So I have to start writing down songs that are stuck in my head 
Greetingsā¦
Basically any country music song would tick most of those categories. 
Not at all, I was just sharing thoughts out loud 
You never know where such musings end upā¦
Now that you mention it though, it could be an interesting form of community collaboration where folk volunteer to do one of the songs (either original or a cover) and slap it up in an avoyp thread.
Too much on my plate at the moment, but who knows? 
You, my friend, are an enigmatic concept album yourself 
Sounds like a weirdly fascinating idea @brianlarsen
Such project needs an overall theme song, which I humbly submit.
Todos mis amigos estƔn tristes (All my friends are sad)
Well my latest original is about death 
but in a positive sad manner I look forward to hearing @sairfingers country song about problems with the police and a court appearance that sounds interesting.
@roger_holland I had to read that list again more carefully as was beginning to get worrid about Brian as I read item 3 as death of a partner by first degree murder and by item 11 I though oh my heās been caught.
Well James,
You should be able to get a little more creative out of that list 
Steve Goodman wrote a song that covers most of the question in one verse
Last verse of You never even call me by my name
I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck
She got ran over by a damned old train.
Ticking every blues box there isnāt it?!
I should try my hand at songwriting then; thereās only 2 of those that I havenāt experienced at some point in my life!
Oh dear
I have too many plates spinning at the moment and imminent family invasion for best part of five weeks but my mind is a whirl of possible lyrics.
A quick scan of the 12 items threw up a couple of dubious working titles but you can make your own assessment of which six should be assigned to the two projects.
OBTW PGA not PC or subtle
So first āThe Tumour Made Me Do Itā in the style of good old Rory.
And secondly, āDWP Shootoutā in the style of Spruce Beerstain.
Or just a simple 12BB with oh so dark lyrics are pinging forth and a definite guideline challenger that would bypass the JGC and go straight to the toob if ever developed 
Interesting topic. Are you still on the meds ?
Well James, one that springs immediately to mind is Folsom Prison Blues. The guy must have been arrested by the police, gone to court and then sent to prison.
If your band was called āThe List of Theatening Experiencesā, then if you went on tour youād have āThe List of The List of Theatening Experiences Appearancesā.
lol!
Are we making a forum album?
Sure weāve already done songs on some of those subjects, but always up for a bit of doom and gloom.
Or something angry maybeā¦
Not yet, but who knows what the future holdsā¦
Haha, now why do you think you were tagged, Stephen?
