No, I'm not engaging with that argument, except to say all of my scores for this round were submitted hours ago, so slightly irritating me will not affect anything. Bye!

I mean, in the long run, the organ and drums experiment is probably a bit of a failure Gah, can't resist picking this fight. An experiment is not a failure or a success. It's a learning opportunity, and I've learned lessons about my process, about Song Fight, about these judge panel competitions, a...

Add - Like that Tom Waits'y intro and especially like the bass tone in the undertow, should be louder in my opinion. Ah, I like this very much. I mean, in the long run, the organ and drums experiment is probably a bit of a failure, but this on its own merits is a very good song, if possibly under-a...

Add - In This Moment The room is spinning around you And life will go on without you It's probably better than lurking forever in the background Is it bad enough to think that we're doomed In this moment of doubt I do And the beautiful world that we knew Is lovelier now that it's torn in two The sto...

I was surprised, too. I (rightly) don't see the other scores, though, so couldn't comment on overall outcome.

ADD - great start and nice groove. Catchy AF (distorted?) organ! Musically this is GREAT, not such a fan of the vocal/lyric though I do like the tone of the spoken part. Nothing wrong with either the vocal or the lyric, just not doing anything for me. Caravan Ray Nice slinky bassline and skanky off...

Trying to say at least one thing stupid but true (deal with it!) in each review, to meet the challenge from the reviewer's side. Not too difficult for me. Add - For some reason, I have Add in my mind as a guitar band, but no biggie; there's that trademark slightly too loud keyboard. Nothing wrong w...

The Idiot Kings - Hapless Avenue Been just spending another day down Hapless Avenue But now it’s time to do the things I’ve gotta do Crossing without looking to Idiot Place Nothing can wipe this smile from my face It’s just a good day to be dumb I lost my pass near the train at Unlucky Street I can’...

Written as I listen, on lunch in a jury deliberation room. Oh my exciting life! Subsequently, don't have the time or inclination to read everyone's explanations of what they were aiming for, challenge-wise. My attitude has always been the song should speak for itself, otherwise you have failed in th...

I won't question the lyric much, except to ask what does the metaphor "It slips away, like /whispers lost in the break of day" actually mean? It’s not a metaphor. It’s a simile https://www.grammarly.com/blog/literary-devices/whats-the-difference-between-a-simile-and-a-metaphor/ My bad. Ap...

Beset with terrible cold. I was in the mood for sludge. You guys didn't disappoint :) Tomorrow - Not sure about the muttering but I do like the first section. It gives the impression of the next bit being a lot more hardcore than it turns out to be, but no complaints about that, as it turns out to b...

Doing these from memory, as I am at work. Not much to say but I'm going to say it anyway. Add - I absolutely acknowledge this is a good song but it leaves me cold. Someone else said the organ was a smidge too loud in the mix, which I agree with. Overall impression - OK Caravan Ray - I liked this, th...

View from the Bottom - Tomorrow 1. I was the sun and you were the stars Together on the mountaintop Holding his hand as you pushed me off Cuz I didn't shine on you enough Well that's tough Nearly buried myself in the overgrowth Beneath the moon who took my place I felt my light start to fade Barely ...

First title coming in three days. LET'S GO!
