Re: Cleanup on aisle 9! (Chili Dogs and Rum prefight)

I have a lyric and will see if I can make it a song... wasn't going to work on it because it's about getting old and it's doomed to sound like Jimmy Buffett, but I'll see what comes out, but don't delay posting the songs on my account, I don't mind being a late entry...

Re: Don't call it a fetish (Fixation reviews)

Well, wow! Thank you to all who voted - I never even got around to voting myself - I felt like I shouldn't vote 'til I did reviews, and I never got to that. I was pretty pleased with how the song came out, although my lyricist was rather disappointed in how many lyric changes I made to his original....

Re: Am I overly focused? (Fixation prefight)

Finally came up with a song, with the help of somebody I wrote some songs with back in 1984, who provided a lyric to inspire me. Audacity messed up the compressor in their latest update, which I just discovered, and as a result of having to sort that out, this may be a pretty loud mix, with, likely,...

Re: A parade, or a marathon?! (A Grand Parade reviews)

To fluffy and anyone else: part of the reason why my entry may have sounded "tired" is that the vocal track is definitely a scratch vocal - I only took one shot at the vocals, because the Mrs. and I are both retired now, so I have a lot less "home alone" time than I used to, and ...

I'm gonna give it a shot. But I've given it quite a few shots over the past couple years that haven't amounted to anything, so... it'll happen or it won't.

Re: And if I lie then may God (Strike Me Down prefight)

Once I figured out what my approach to the title was, the song wrote itself in about 10 minutes. Just waiting for a little "home alone" time so I can improve the lead vocal track a little bit, and I'll be in!

And... sent!

Re: That's right, my twin "vanished" (Vanishing Twin prefight)

Have an idea for this, biographical in the sense that everything I write any more is about getting old. My favorite line so far is, "Prince prints most of his lyrics / in a tiny purple font..." but I don't wanna give away too much. Tryin' to bring the reggae this time, wish me luck!

Congratulations to All the Robots. Definitely more catchy than mine was; I remember when I was leading the worship band at our church, I'd listen to a bunch of songs and then whatever was stuck in my head a couple days later would get taken to the band.
