God bless you, Niv, for knowing exactly what I was going for

Congrats Sober!

In case anyone else would benefit from this, I've added a thing so that you can unshuffle the names on the front page, so that if you've taken notes on which songs you want to vote for you can easily find them in the list. Just go to https://songfight.org/?noshuffle=1 and it'll keep the songs in al...

I made it through! I started listening with the thought I would decide votes first and then review, and then was like "I know myself, I am never going to come back and finish these" so started writing reviews in real time as I listened to the songs--so no re-listens, none of the reviews ta...

Life got in the way and I didn't manage to work on this till about 11:30 PM last night, but I finally managed to submit a late entry that Fightmaster said should be up later today after his day of meetings!

This song has been added to the fight.

Thanks Sam!

A Grand Parade miscellaneous owl Baby, you're a loser, and that's OK Maybe you're a failure, but I like you anyway In your bedroom at twilight, I put my hands on your chest Rest my head on your shoulder So I can feel your breath And ghosts go by like shadows in the room A grand parade of all your op...

Congrats Agent Chaos!

Add : the bubbly telephoney synths are delightful! Also loved the kind of underwater sounding ones. I enjoyed the talk-singing, and the swagger, and the lyrics. Just a fun tune all round. Agent Chaos : This one jumped out as the most interesting to me when I was listening through the first time—the...

Sorry for not adding a note about the optional challenge to the lyrics—I am too online, I guess, and thought it would be obvious



Thanks for the reviews so far. Nice fight! I will need to catch up on the late BSS addition and then do some reviews.

Love Magic Interrobang?! Optional challenge We don't go for long drives anymore You don't look into my eyes anymore Do you remember back when we first met When it felt like the summer would never end Sun roof open and the windows down Tuned in to Love Magic 97.2 "Never Gonna Give You Up" ...

I probably won’t have time for a shadow this week but I thought I’d share this ska song I did guest vocals on for my friend Nate last year!

Woo! Thanks!

Also... please don't "ONLY" use hand percussion. Include hand percussion. Whoops. You're only going to get horrible amounts of tambourine and guiro from me. No drums :D I wrote and recorded a shadow last minute today again. I started this with this zither my dad mailed me recently (we bou...

Blind Spot Crown Shy (shadow) I don't drive with my hands open I breathe jasmine and kerosene The splay of the trees in a sick white afternoon Seems utterly useless in a feral tomb Milk and money breed armies of doves The bicycles flutter in flocks above Call me homesick, I'm wild with despair The ...

I didn't get my song recorded in time to actually enter, but it got me writing again for the first time in months so I'm happy! Maybe I should have started writing more than half an hour before the deadline. In any case, I sent in my shadow under Crown Shy and will try to keep shadowing as much as p...

Summer Into Fall miscellaneous owl Turning towards the heavy footfalls of a future coming down my lane And the endless tyranny of how days pile up on days Winter turns to spring and summer turns to fall I see ambition on the caller ID, but I can't pick up that call And I don't want to sink or swim ...

Crown Shy (shadow) Turning towards the heavy footfalls of a future coming down my lane And the endless tyranny of how days pile up on days Winter turns to spring and summer turns to fall I see ambition on the caller ID, but I can't pick up that call And I don't want to sink or swim I just want to g...

Just finished up FAWM (February Album Writing Month) and posted my album:

I have to get back to actually entering fights again! I meant to in February and somehow the whole month flew by without me managing it.

@arby I really like that wallpaper!

Thanks for all the additional liner notes/links/thoughts. Super interesting to know more of the backstory and intentions as far as your lyrics.

Reviews!!! This was a really hard round to rank, a lot of very strong songs and I kept changing my mind on rankings as I went through these... I do think a lot of the rankings this round came down more to judges' personal musical preferences rather than any major issues with the songs/performances/w...

I would find that totally acceptable (but again, would love an explanation in your liner notes). I’ll let the other judges weigh in if they feel differently.
