The grim reality is the deadline for this song passed almost two weeks ago. There is no winner. Go out Shopping, or something.

I wonder what real estate is like in fairy tales. You know, Grim Realty.

Re: Unscripted fairy tales. Discuss.
No one will know the difference if I write about the Grimm reality. 
....which I won't, of course!
.........it's grim.
GRIM!

I'm in! Submitted. But the grim reality is that I've realized my song is far too long.

Re: Unscripted fairy tales. Discuss.
We just put in our first song, but how long is too long? I didn't see a length restriction. Thanks
Re: Unscripted fairy tales. Discuss.
There are not any song length restrictions. This is a competition, tho. Your song should sound complete and finished, but not aimless or too repetitive. For "No Take Backs" lengths were between 1:01 (prob too short) and 5:56 (prob too long).
If you're like me, singing pitch problems at times, and not a virtuoso instrumentalist, aim for shorter
2:30-3:00

Re: Unscripted fairy tales. Discuss.
It was 3:26, with intro, outro, a couple choruses and two people singing. Should I post the lyrics here?

Re: Unscripted fairy tales. Discuss.
Any discussion on song length immediately makes me think of Ben Krieger's legendary Robot Candidate and Cable Beach entries.

Re: Unscripted fairy tales. Discuss.
One time after Coltrane had taken yet another 10 minute solo, Miles Davis went up to him and asked why he couldn't keep it more concise. Coltrane told Miles that "that's how long it took to say what I had to say." Miles listened, thought about it for moment, then nodded and walked away.
