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!
And... sent!

Been done for a few days, just forgot to submit it. Will do tonite.
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style.

Re: And if I lie then may God (Strike Me Down prefight)
I've got one written, for the first time in quite a while. Just finishing off the mix now and then will send it in.
Featuring live drums from a FAWM buddy.
edit: damn, apart from the "live" fight last year, this is my first solo submission in a full year! Yowch.

Re: And if I lie then may God (Strike Me Down prefight)
I have lost the battle... I have been struck down... I have given myself a personal deadline of the 22nd though... so hopefully I will eventually get back up... the fight must go on.

Re: And if I lie then may God (Strike Me Down prefight)
I had trouble coming up with a topic for lyrics, and I had trouble with the music. Then I had trouble singing. Not my best work, but the best I could do this week.

Re: And if I lie then may God (Strike Me Down prefight)
This one is a race against time. The deadline has passed, but will it approach something submittable before the final bell? A Friday evening push? We'll see!

Re: And if I lie then may God (Strike Me Down prefight)
I also thought this was a tough one lyrically. I even read through the lyric thread for inspiration. I think one of the better ways to approach it was using the optional challenge and tell a ghost story about someone who was struck down for some reason and now they are a ghost.

The optional challenge actually helped me shape my lyrics. I'm really proud of this one.
