Re: When you turn 47 (Peak Misery prefight)
Um... I got a little carried away with this one. If eight minute songs in odd time signatures with no vocals for the first two minutes and long-ass guitar solos are your thing, you'll probably enjoy this one. Lyric is suitably miserable, more so than my emo-type stuff of last year's Nur Ein. Also, I...

Re: Liberty Street
Nick Soma - Liberty Street Carefully planning for tomorrow Too much for you to bear Drowning in a sea of sorrow Cracks in the mask that you wear You can stand in the light, but you won't see Take a walk on Liberty Street, but you're not free You can walk anywhere, you're not free Adapting to a worl...

Re: Take a walk down (Liberty Street prefight)
I'm in! First entry since last year's Nur Ein... I did try something new: recording the heaviest song I've ever done. Heaviness is usually not something I am trying to achieve in my songs, so not sure how it turned out. Guess it's kind of metal. Also, I used "Liberty Street" metaphorically...

Nick Soma - No Memory I'm doing fine, I have no memory Of anything I've ever done Oh yeah, they cured me of my memory No one knows what I'll become Now I can be anyone For so many years, I lived In sorrow and fear, I was Constantly haunted by my memories But I was sold when by That guy I was told t...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Three "Color Me _____"
I managed to finish my song just before the deadline, but it was close. It has a long-ass intro and outro, which I tried to shorten, but it ruined the mood. Also, I tried to add a guitar and harmony vocals, yet that also didn't seem to fit the mood. There is only one vocal track (apart from the samp...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Two "Pump The Brakes"
OK, so, to make things a little clearer about my song. This is a very personal lyric about a specific guy I know, so I guess some of the references are hard to get if you don't know him. Didn't think that would be a problem; Green Day, for example, did a lot of diss tracks in the 1990s where you wou...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"
Both Niv and Spin mentioned my song lacking emotion in parts. Niv specifically referred to the quiet sections, and I don't know about Spin, but if it's the choruses that convey boredom to you, then I don't know what else I can do, as I put as much emotion into them as I could. Now, I wrote about BPD...

Re: NUR EIN XIV - Shock Value - Dynamics

This song was written with her in mind, though it is about fictional characters. In their desperate search for l...

Circle of Titles VIII
Hi folks! It's a bit late this year, hope you don't mind. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do that Circle of Titles thing again, so I started this thread. If you are interested, let me know right here, and if some people want to do it, I'll post a schedule and stuff. I'll also have to talk to Jan...

Also, congrats to Vom Vorton!
I'm curious if we're going to have a Vom Vorton vs. Merisan final round this year. Sure looks like it.

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Four "Never Knew The Guy"
Thanks to y'all for your kind words, and criticism also. :) It was a pleasure participating, as always, and I'm kind of sad it's going to be another year until the next one. I probably won't do a shadow entry for the next round, taking some time off, but maybe I'll do one next week. The podcast was ...

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Four "Never Knew The Guy"
Nick - nice harmonies. Lead is good, but i’m not fond of the lead in the chorus. Pretty catchy. Another one that loses too much momentum in the bridge. Thank you for your constructive criticism! You are right, the bridge is too long and boring. Maybe I should have made it build up in its second hal...

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Four "Never Knew The Guy"
Let's start reviewing! Interestingly, many of these songs didn't feel biographical to me. Like, I wouldn't think of them as a biography of Jesus or St Peter or Superman (that's three mythological characters in one sentence!) Maybe that's just me. I don't view the Beatles' "Mean Mr. Mustard"...

Submitted a song. It's more of a typical Nick Soma kind of song than my submissions in the last few rounds. (Although the upbeat music vs. grim subject matter would make for a good Matchy Matchy song, too.) Lyric mentions a bike accident leaving the guy's "left hand crippled", unable to pl...
