Nick Soma - No Memory I'm doing fine, I have no memory Of anything I've ever done Oh yeah, they cured me of my memory No one knows what I'll become Now I can be anyone For so many years, I lived In sorrow and fear, I was Constantly haunted by my memories But I was sold when by That guy I was told t...

I managed to finish my song just before the deadline, but it was close. It has a long-ass intro and outro, which I tried to shorten, but it ruined the mood. Also, I tried to add a guitar and harmony vocals, yet that also didn't seem to fit the mood. There is only one vocal track (apart from the samp...

Nick Soma - Color Me Gone The samples I used can be found here: https://youtu.be/3YcsB0iFUKA I remember still Though it's slowly fading now Sitting in the park In awkward silence If I had confessed My love to you that day, You would have laughed, I bet You sent me on a ride Of many ups and downs A ...

OK, so, to make things a little clearer about my song. This is a very personal lyric about a specific guy I know, so I guess some of the references are hard to get if you don't know him. Didn't think that would be a problem; Green Day, for example, did a lot of diss tracks in the 1990s where you wou...

Now this sounds like a cool challenge. Color me intrigued.


Color me, don't color me! Ready to be sampled

Nick Soma - Pump the Brakes Convinced to be of a perfect kind The greatest benefactor Shiny and decorated like a Christmas tree But such an awful actor The phlegmatic sheen You wear just makes you seem Almost anesthetized You don't even bother To think of others Anyway Pump the brakes, make no mist...

Both Niv and Spin mentioned my song lacking emotion in parts. Niv specifically referred to the quiet sections, and I don't know about Spin, but if it's the choruses that convey boredom to you, then I don't know what else I can do, as I put as much emotion into them as I could. Now, I wrote about BPD...

This song is really hard. None of the Mandibles like to be mean, and we’re really bad at it...

"Someone or something", the challenge says. So you can write a diss track about broccoli or whatever, unless you don't want to be mean to broccoli.

Nick Soma - Shock Value This lyric is written from the perspective of someone who has borderline personality disorder. Though I don't suffer from BPD myself, a close friend of mine does. This song was written with her in mind, though it is about fictional characters. In their desperate search for l...

[*]00:54:04 - Nick Soma Hi, first of all, I love your podcast :) Just wanted to tell you a bit more about my song, especially that weird intro... Now as for that heavy phaser, I'm well aware of that. Had the same problem with my last Nur Ein song before this one, "Never Knew the Guy", but then it w...

Nick Soma - Message Received T, take some time to E, explain to me N, now it's 'cause S, it sounded strange to me I, I want, O, I only want you to be honest with me N, name your price I have to pay to take the tension away The message on the surface Was not the one implied And I can read into it Bu...

Hi folks! It's a bit late this year, hope you don't mind. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do that Circle of Titles thing again, so I started this thread. If you are interested, let me know right here, and if some people want to do it, I'll post a schedule and stuff. I'll also have to talk to Jan...

Guess what? It took me over two years, but I just finished my entry for CoT VI. The two titles, provided by Cookie Blue, were "Strange Promise" and "Larger than Eternity". I went with the first of these. Hope you'll enjoy the song. CoT VII entry is hopefully going to follow soon...

Also, congrats to Vom Vorton!
I'm curious if we're going to have a Vom Vorton vs. Merisan final round this year. Sure looks like it.

Thanks to y'all for your kind words, and criticism also. :) It was a pleasure participating, as always, and I'm kind of sad it's going to be another year until the next one. I probably won't do a shadow entry for the next round, taking some time off, but maybe I'll do one next week. The podcast was ...

Nick - nice harmonies. Lead is good, but i’m not fond of the lead in the chorus. Pretty catchy. Another one that loses too much momentum in the bridge. Thank you for your constructive criticism! You are right, the bridge is too long and boring. Maybe I should have made it build up in its second hal...

Let's start reviewing! Interestingly, many of these songs didn't feel biographical to me. Like, I wouldn't think of them as a biography of Jesus or St Peter or Superman (that's three mythological characters in one sentence!) Maybe that's just me. I don't view the Beatles' "Mean Mr. Mustard" as a bio...

Submitted a song. It's more of a typical Nick Soma kind of song than my submissions in the last few rounds. (Although the upbeat music vs. grim subject matter would make for a good Matchy Matchy song, too.) Lyric mentions a bike accident leaving the guy's "left hand crippled", unable to play piano f...

Nick Soma - Never Knew the Guy Kevin was born in the middle of nowhere In the year of 1979 His life would soon get worse Although at first it was all fine. Kevin's mother was protective, Shielded him from all that's wrong. His stepfather was difficult, They couldn't get along. His real father fathe...

OK, clarification needed. Does this have to be the biography of a person who exists or has at one point existed in real life, or can it be a fictional person's biography?

I just sent in my song. It's among the weirdest ones I've ever done for SF or Nur Ein. Don't know if it's weird genius or weird crap. Perhaps just mediocre as usual. :mrgreen: It's written from the point of view of someone with a mental illness such as schizophrenia, in whose mind a thought is slowl...

Nick Soma - We Should featuring Cookie Blue on scissors, clip machine, frying pan, hairdryer, tea cup and box grater This song is from the point of view of a person with a mental illness, something along the lines of schizophrenia. His thoughts, disjointed at first, build towards a more concrete id...
