Pretty is what I aimed for. Thank you for noticing.

I'm ok with 6th place, one point away from 5th, considering the competition. Many, many good songs, and I made it to Round 4!

Thank you Lyn for singing with me!

NUR EIN!!!!

Good Tuesday Morning! What a cheery bunch we have here at Nur Ein VI this week, eh? Good grief! My take on my own song with LML: I am extremely happy with what Lyn and I did. Lyrically, I thought that the unholy alliance of pain, sadness and grief played well with the vodka and the prescription, the...

Unholy Alliance by John Kloberdanz Performed by John Kloberdanz and Lyn Lewis (aka "LML") He: It was vodka and a prescription That took you from our home I wish I'd left work early And not left you all alone Most nights I listened to you crying Instead of getting restful sleep An unholy al...

In.

NUR EIN!!!

My song has broken new creative ground, and I'm extremely happy with it. My guest, LML, did an amazing job and I can't wait for you to hear her!

So we'll try our best tomorrow. :) Bravo! Well done! That's really what it's all about. Everyone will be relieved to hear that I have not written about the unholy alliances between ketchup and mustard, or chocolate and peanut butter, or dessert and my waistline. I've also for the first time ever wr...

I don't know who I could ask... :/ Ask an eliminated Nureiner, that's one idea. Ask someone on the message board. Ask 10 people and maybe someone will accept. In Nur Ein IV it needed a guest rapper and my then-9 year old son Jack did it. Of course that was an example where my cleverness didn't work...

Nope, it's there. There was some malware added to the site when someone managed to gain access, and that's another bit that needs to be cleaned up. That must be why my employers firewall, out of nowhere, has started blocking both the .org and .net versions of the songfight url. Really a pain in the...

I'm not competing this week, how about a guitar duet, glennny? ;) You can do guitar duets? I thought only vocals. I am of the opinion that a "duet with a guest" means a vocal duet, although I'm not a judge I would consider anything else to not be meeting the challenge. That being said, I ...

I will be in momentarily. It looks like not everyone might have really written autobiographically, so maybe I'll get points for meeting the challenge head-on. Would have been fun to write about the alien abduction.

Blame It On Ginger By John Kloberdanz My mother always taught me To think for myself Try to find a voice that’s mine And not be anyone else My mother always asked me To calm down and think straight Draw a conclusion without illusion Turn my cheek and not tempt fate But I would have done better with ...

I would have been better off if I had never actually known a Ginger and if I didn't have a story I could tell about me and Ginger. I've written about 6 versions and finally just in time have one I'm happy with. It's not about when Ginger and I were abducted by aliens, not because that's not autobiog...

I'm good to go.

I have an idea, so I'm chatting with "my" Ginger on FB to make sure she's ok with it, after all it's about her.

John Kloberdanz: Not sure I like how nasal those vocals are. The way you sing "colourblind" is cute, but why did you do it that way? Doesn't really fit the song as far as I'm concerned. As someone else already said, this is hardly an 80s mix, but it is an 80s song, sort of. Anyway. I can ...

My 5 favorites in alpha order were: DJ Ranger Den – I enjoyed your round zero entry. This one not so much. It reminded me of annoying ex-girlfriends that rambled complaints to me so quickly that I didn’t know where to start trying to make things better. Except for the "ex" part, this type...

Congrats to WSA! Enjoy your week off!

furrypedro wrote: John Kloberdanz: damn that non-optional challenge huh?

Agreed. My song was begging for a chorus, but twas not to be.

You get extra bonus points for spelling *both* halves of my name right! :P With a name like "Kloberdanz" I strive for accuracy! A third choice is to move the second verse to the end and tie it together with the different ways we are blind. It was the back-and-forth from verse 1 to 2 to 3 ...

Hmmm, that's going to make it difficult to sing about the time that Ginger and I were abducted by aliens.
