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!

Re: A Grand Parade

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...

Re: I put a spell on you... (Love Magic reviews)

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...

Re: I put a spell on you... (Love Magic reviews)

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 :D



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

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! 🎺🏁🕺

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"

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 ...

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round Zero: "Sink or Swim"

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...

Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)

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.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Four "June Moon"

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.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Three "Can't Let It Go"

I'm sorry again that I have been terrible at reviewing so far--it's been unexpectedly really busy for me since Nur Ein started, but I had a big work thing wrap up last week, so I'm hoping I can do a little better with giving feedback now. I'm determined to actually finish this round of reviews and p...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Five "Novel"

Hey gizo! No, the intent with the phrasing was to exclude pre-existing audio libraries or sample-based virtual instruments/VSTs. Please take careful note of the "non-musical" recording part of this--the intent is not to have you chop out the hook from a Motown classic and build a song arou...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

Reviewssssss Sorry I've been so slow getting these done, it's been busy! Adam Adamant - I like the general sound of the instrumentation here, particularly your guitar, and including that kind of messy falling-apart ending, and your vocal delivery kind of reminds me of David Bowie. Catchy chorus, but...
