Re: Nur Ein XVI: Final Round "Blue"

Congrats, Owl! You put a lot of heart into your final song. Thank you for sharing your story. Shout out to the fun challenges this year. I loved the twist of forcing people to tie their songs together. Keeps everyone on their toes. I also liked how the judges lengthened everyone's leash on the chall...

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Five "The Only Way Out"

You can say it's ridiculous but I hear the standard "modulate up" trick in pop and country music on a regular basis. I interpreted this challenge as the opposite of that. I think this would have been a great challenge. This was my take on it when I read it; it would have been interesting ...

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Two "Drag Me Around"

Aww, I was looking forward to the bunnies going on a grand ceiling adventure! Sorry to see you go, Lucky Spoon. I just noticed you totally called it! Unfortunately, the rabbits suddenly started fighting after my wife's family left town (maybe bored and lonely after having a house full of screaming ...

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Two "Drag Me Around"

Sorry all. Just too busy a weekend.

My song was gonna be about rabbits from the fantasy ceiling world in a action 80s cartoon intro style.

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Two "Drag Me Around"

Any word on getting Memorial Day to finish this one?

I had a late start and have family here Friday through apparently Monday morning so chances of me getting a song in otherwise are slim.

Update:
Here we are. It's been over 24 hours and one of the judges is still missing. (It was two last night)

Gotta figure out what to do...
Give us the full Memorial Day weekend for the next one, I say. :D 8-)
:D I second this suggestion right here

I wasn't sure how to take field recording so I took it literally and recorded my backing vocals in a field.

Re: Nur Ein XVI - Pareidolia

Intro Sometimes when you look in the mirror You see things that you don’t want to see And they’re not things you didn’t know about They’re things you didn’t want to face You’ve spent so long trying to see things in yourself that just weren’t there Or at least convince other people to see them It’s ...

KDx5LHFXTwE Thank you for all the begrudging acknowledgements of things that were well done in my song even though it didn't seem to ring well with personal bias. I actually do appreciate knowing my recording and mixing skills are improving, at least. I do apologize for the use of the slur. I grew ...

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Zero "Semiprecious"

I'm new to how this works, but I'm in! Mine is a song about the way childhood memories can be ordinary but also significant (semiprecious, one might say) and the strange feeling of drifting away from what used to be important to you as you get older. Had a lot of fun making it and I'm excited to se...

This was great, guys! Thanks for another entertaining episode. Re: the Balance Lost song; you are absolutely right, I should have been in the final :D .

Congrats to Jon Eric, really solid finish! Another Nur Ein in the books. Things that stood out to me: see-man-ski - loved the groove on This is Fine. Glad you were revived. Also killer guitar tone on Chupacabra Glow worm - fun story about quarantining with sister and getting to make music together. ...
