Started and finished this morning. A rushed job if there ever was one. I hit send on time but it looks like I may have been 2 minutes late in arrival. Stupid pig. This is my third or fourth entry if it made it in time.

No love song here.

Dirt Nap – Pigfarmer Jr Open your eyes and see what I have done I know that you’d be proud of me You always told me I could never make it alone But I don’t need you anymore I washed the dishes but still you would complain I was never good enough for you Look around. I’ve got to clean up now I don’t ...

Had an idea for a song today. Will probably get to it next week. If I do this will be my fourth songfight. Is it good or bad that I'm trying to find things that will go over well with this crowd?

Pigfarmer Jr .- Lyrics are rather obvious. Ever hear “Indiscipline” by King Crimson. Now there’s a clever song about a guitar. I’ve never heard a pick up on an acoustic I’ve liked. A microphone is much preferred. The playing is alright, a little sloppy timing wise. I take it no click track was used...

That's a very good point.
I guess it's okay to vote for songs on your own criteria and opinion regardless of what those may be. It's up to the individual to interpret the challenge as they see fit and enter or not at their own discretion.

Another question: How much of a "stickler" are folks for the phrase "Made To Be Played" to actually be in the song somewhere? Here at Song Fight! we make songs that go with the title. As you may have noticed with many popular (and unpopular) songs out there, titles are not requi...

I listened and voted. I'm kind of surprised there weren't more songs about guitars. unfortunately - because mine is played on a guitar, I think people will assume mine is about a guitar - but I never mention one in my song and assume it could just as easily be about a rusty old trumpet or a dusty c...

mmm.

I think this sums it up:

I'm drunk.

I'm in with my third submission. It's GnG just to piss off 90% of ya'll. It is one take, off key, and with bad playing towards the end cuz my fingers were tired. It too me less than 30 minutes from the time I started writing to the time I was done rendering and dagnabit I'm NOT gonna apologize for i...

Thanks for that. Useful. You've hit my most prominent flaw.

Yay - glad to see you back in the fray Pigfarmer (besides, it helps the 50/90 count, right?)

Hell yes it does. and Thank You

Awesome album from Missouri's own THE BOTTLE ROCKETS

Hard Times is a great song and fits today's troubles for sure. I'm loving it.

Pigfarmer Jr You said I was cheating on you with that girl You said you weren't too blind to see I know you didn't trust me then 'Cuz she belongs to my best friend and She means nothing to me I got nothing left to hold me in these chains I guess nothing is the key You left me nothing when you put me...

I'm in. My second attempt. Didn't do GnG this time cuz.. well you know how receptive that is.

I had a great idea (by my standards) and had not much time to work on it. I didn't wanna do another G&G song so I'm out. I may yet finish this song in the future though, I kind of liked what I came up with so far.

Pigfarmer Jr. - Isn't a farmer of pigs actually a rancher? Anyway. Remember all those discussions about prosody? Wow. These lyrics sound so forced into their melody. For instance: "What did I do / To deserve," etc. Almost all the rhymes sound really forced. Maybe next time, try to do a co...

Pigfarmer Jr - I thought you were Ross Durand for the first couple of syllables. Good energy and sincere delivery although some of it feels too serious, and might make the threatened party roll their eyes a bit. I hit repeat as soon as the song was done and noticed how the tempo had picked up durin...

Pigfarmer Jr -- 12/15 C:3 L:* (not rated; post your lyrics next time to change that) F:3 P:2 (you occasionally stumble over the lyrics. I have this feeling that the BPM keeps changing.) M:2 (I'm not entirely sure about this, but isn't that guitar extremely twangy? Or whatever you call it. Anyway, l...

I didn't know you were suppose to post lyrics... Back From Juvie - Pigfarmer Jr You thought that I was gone for good But you must have misunderstood I only got a year, I was only sixteen And now I’m back out here on the scene And now I’m out here looking for you Plotting my revenge, what I’m gonna d...

The track seems a bit too midi for my taste. 'kay......only thing programmed here was the drums, so I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. My main concern about my playing on this one is how sloppy my timing tends to be. MIDI tracks tend to be pretty precise so....thank you, I guess? Would ...

I have an idea already, a nice verse melody and two lines and a possible chorus/bridge structure. I'm having a problem tying in a thematic lyric. But it looks like it's a go.

Good news, it's electric so I'll do a proper recording for this my second entry.
