Oh, the Silver City birthday celebration day
Silver sequins flashing, they goin' my way
Maybe if I talk to her, then she'll wanna stay
Help me to enjoy the Silver City birthday celebration day

Lyrics: viewtopic.php?t=12897

Once again I start off by reading the lyric and getting an impression. This is not completely fair to the song since what is written on the page seldom reveals how well it works with music. Take what I say about them with a grain of salt as I don’t fully evaluate them until after I hear the song. Be...

I will share the exact details of what makes “Dark Cove” significant in terms of honoring Niveous after the entries for the round have been received so we do not unintentionally influence anything with respect to artistic interpretation of the title and challenge. Exactly. So you want us to interpr...

glad you’re ok. I'm glad ]you are at least okay. Thank you, both. Songfight has, indeed, been a nice diversion. Life is pretty damn good all things considered. Obviously, it could've been better without the tornado. In other news, I hooked up a 460 three phase generator (at around 200 amps) to an i...

It's highly unlikely I'll have reviews this round and I apologize for that. But I wanted to say, this round was extremely tight in quality. Thank you for the excellent round of songs.

The wife and I are still planning to attend.

The wife and I are no longer planning to attend. We've already made our plans (and paid for travel and lodging) so now we intend to attend.

Sorry for the late reviews. (And don’t expect any from me next week due to prior commitments but I will try.) These notes are cobbled together and edited down from scraps of paper in the studio, in the truck and at work. A word on the challenge. I think a response is an answer rather than repetition...

I don't see a Round 4 post on the Lyric Archive....or am I missing it?
Looking forward to hearing everybody's this week!

The first person to post the lyric usually starts the thread. Just use a similar heading as the others.

Neither Brian Wilson nor Sly Stone were big in my listening habits but they were both great artists. Kinda makes you think.

Jill Sobule has died. In a house fire. I talked to her on the phone 8 days ago. I am having a difficult time processing this. I was only a little more than vaguely aware of Jill Sobule but everything I heard I liked and she was awesome in the couple of interviews I heard on the radio back in the da...

I see your freckles, your hair is a mess. But you're smiling now. Close-up on your eyes. In black and white. I even see your crow feet wrinkles. Such a beautiful sight. What are you thinking about. When there's no one around. What are you dreaming of. Deep inside your heart. Supersaturated girl. Ly...

Those of you who see me on facebook might be aware of some recent happenings but I realized just now that I hadn't really shared and thought it might be good for me to do so. First off, I'm very much okay and feeling very blessed. I always wondered at those tv interviews where the guy who just had h...

Some thoughts. I read the lyrics before listening so the amount of commenting on them is not necessarily proportional to their importance in my feelings on the songs. BSS - I like the arrangement. There’s a texture here that I like a lot, especially on repeated listens. The chorus melody isn’t compl...

So as I read the challenge , the call and response is in the vocal line with the 2 vocalists. It's not the typical jazz call and response between bass and guitar for example. Or is it Call and Response in any form, and as well have a guest vocalist? You read the challenge. You implement the challen...

Banjelica : I like the banjo being featured, more than just an add on to the arrangement. There's a slow wave of rhythm that I like a lot in this song. I think this is arranged very well, perfectly to get a slow groove across. The melody is catchy enough. It's nearly the perfect length and keeps me...

1. "hope... you didn't even notice it" is a double edged sword. If a listener can't really figure it out then is it a feature of the song? And are the challenges in songwriting competitions intended to be "featured" at all? I think you run the risk of being downgraded if the cha...

1. The two measure intro synth riff repeats a number of times and is shorter each time. (I hope this was so well done you didn't even notice it happening). 2. The chorus melody/lyrics is shorter between the first and second chorus. This then comes back in the final chorus starting full and complete...

Damn good group of songs. re: Challenge - Weird how I pictured one thing in my mind but got something else entirely. If I missed something (obvious) about how you implemented the challenge let me know. BSS - I like the guitars right from the start. The mix is very good. I like the melody. The vocal ...

Just threw my hat in the ring

Welcome. Don't forget to put your lyrics in the lyric thread: viewtopic.php?t=12871

I'm very mild, I'm very meek
My will is strong, but my won't is weak
So don't look at me that way

I feel a thrill when you arrive
And while you're near, I simply thrive
But if you want to get home alive
Don't look at me that way
