I just looked at those results! That was a close one for me. I gotta work on getting a really catchy song for next week. Sorry to anyone who's elminated ... that's how the Nur Ein rolls, sadly.

PS - When's the new title going up? I gotta get working on this one. :|

If I were clever I'd draw a picture of a brownie shaped as an arrow...

If I were really clever I'd know what a time signature was and how to change it...

I owned at this in 'Let Me In' with my 7/4 sig thrown in there for one of the chorus things. This really is the best challenge for me - thanks guys!

Earlier, I was at that same wiki page, investigating this whole time signature thing. I also looked up "brownie points" just to see if I could get any lyrical ideas - no luck. I don't know whats going to be harder this week: changing time or writing a song about brownie points. Good challenge.

Since I've got all this free time now :wink: , I've got the energy to apply to this, Niv. Even with another 50-60 hour high pressure, deadline ridden workweek ahead of me.

"Brownie Points"... interesting...

Errr... Nein!

I've got a 12 bar intro in 4/4, 3/4, 5/4, time and a fistful of lyrics that make no sense, not bad for a days work... :?
