Re: A parade, or a marathon?! (A Grand Parade reviews)
I'm now listening to the full stream, and Sober's song is destroying me. Yeah I think Sober gets a vote. That song is a monument. Between the listening party on Monday night and my own meanderings I'm about halfway through, and I saw this post and jumped to sober's song. It is truly golden. It achi...

Re: Garage Sale
Garage Sale by Rod The Bunman I sold most of my memories At the garage sale that I had Lots of folks stopped by Not a cloud in the sky Everything was picked dry I sold most of my memories At the garage sale that I had But the one that’s with me Is the one they can’t see How I miss our loving tale T...

Re: The stairway to heaven leads to (A Long Plastic Hallway reviews)
It was a great disappointment of my life that when I somehow managed to become a competent songwriter and performer, and then had a CD, no one really gave a crap. They liked that I did it but actually listening was too much trouble. They say that the average person stops looking for new music at ag...

Re: The stairway to heaven leads to (A Long Plastic Hallway reviews)
Honestly I could not even get my friends to click a link let alone vote, let alone listen to my song, let alone listen to all the songs, etc. Even if I offered to pay people, my friends are just not that interested. :lol: This is what the first verse of my Plastic Hallway is about: One of the thing...

Re: A little reefer and some (Spiked Punch reviews)
This song is a true story. My mother passed on April 22nd after a rough couple of weeks which resulted from a rough six months or so which really was the culmination of a rough two decades. (Leukemia sucks.) I agree that the title was a bit of a pry bar affair. Thanks for the vote. I am so sorry fo...

Re: A little reefer and some (Spiked Punch reviews)
Lots of great songs in this fight! My votes went to: Paco del Stinko - Another masterpiece, but this time with the vocals and production choices! Fun fun fun fun and oh yeah, fun!

Re: One coin shy of a buck (Three Quarters prefight)
I'm curious what people consider cheating. Drum machine? Sampling? Friend flooding? Device flooding? VPN flooding? "Casio Chord"?, Autotune? Rhyming dictionary? Autoharp? basically copying the Jason Mraz song? Using a pre-written instrumental? Performance-enhancing drugs? Cultural appropr...

Re: The stairway to heaven leads to (A Long Plastic Hallway reviews)
My votes went to: Brown Word - Of the songs I've heard of yours this is my favorite, and probably my favorite in this fight. I really really like the lyrics and the approach. If I were to change anything I would mix the vocals a bit higher. Well done! Amby Moho - Sounds like a mix of the Velvets and...

Re: I drink alone because (I'd Rather Drink With The Devil reviews)
Rod The Bunman - the mix makes this sound like it's coming out of some crappy tiny speaker transistor radio. It strips all the impact from what could be a rocking song. Tom and I thought our Devil song rocked too! I can't speak completely for him, but for me I'm 99% about the song and 1% about the ...

Re: I drink alone because (I'd Rather Drink With The Devil reviews)
My votes went to: Paco del Stinko - having heard many many of your songs over the years I knew this title was right in your wheelhouse and you did not disappoint. A fun listen just like the best Paco songs are. Rod the Bunman - This is my song with my friend Tom, now our 2nd after 27 years! What fun...

Rod The Bunman: This fight has some great mics going on. What are you using for your vocals? I've got a nasally voice by nature but would love to try to lower stuff that sounds like yours. Feels like Neil Young meets Elvis Costello right before closing the bar. Loved it. Hey! Thanks for the positiv...

Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)
"Rod The Bunman" I realize that in the 12 years or so since I discovered the Songfight website, "Miss Lovely Eyes" was only my 14th submission and that was over 5 different names. How funny considering that in real life I only ever write songs as my actual name John Kloberdanz. ...

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Zero "This is Fine"
My contradiction was the "Daylight in a pitch-black room" line, and I was especially happy with the "Nothing's left when nothing's right" line which I may use again someday, I think that's pretty clever if I say so myself and I could probably write a song centered around it. Tha...
