Nick Cave's "Where the Wild Roses Grow" as a model
That is a classic, and a great model for that round;s challenge. But it's in 6/8, not 3/4. :P

Huh. I wonder if it's a lie written in invisible ink or something.

Re: Nur Ein XX Round Four "Cracks In The Sidewalk"

I am now unsure how well GarageBand supports using anything other than 4/4. IIRC glennny used GarageBand for many years and made it work somehow though? ...and funnily enough - Garageband/Logic doesn't even seem to do 3/4!

Re: Nur Ein XX Round Four "Cracks In The Sidewalk"

That's me out. I have no idea what 5/8 meter is nor how to achieve it - and don't really have time this weekend to bother trying to learn. Also not keen on the obscure regional dialect vocabulary in the title. I didn't even know this was a north americanism, but I would have preferred "pavemen...

Erin and I have won immunity 7 times, and every time we have skipped submitting a song, leading to 7 Mauers.
That sounds like the first line of an annoying song that children would sing on a long car trip

Possibly using a repeating melodic phrase that gets shorter as the song progresses/builds.

While I never expected to travel to the USA again, you know, because of recent events - a spud hosted SFl in Seattle could be a thing. I go via Vancouver?

Re: Title suggestions

The next title should be "The Last President" or "Last President" and posted on inauguration day, or the day before it. Honestly, it may have worked better if it had been the current title so that the songs with that title could be posted at that time instead. But hindsight is 2...

Re: LA fires

I saw Rabid post on Facebook he was evacuated but later allowed home and his house was OK.

Growing up in south east Australia - fire is a present threat every summer. But I have never had to evacuate. Terrifying stuff.

Re: Feedback - NEGATIVE

You suck. It was at least a “cor blimey”.


But I would love a competition with only one word reviews allowed.

So….cor-blimey. Would be acceptable.

.. or is it ‘gor-blimey’?
