Aurora Posted April 20, 2018 Author Posted April 20, 2018 10/14 reviews done for the remaining submissions. I have to go to work now but I'll try and get the other four done on my break and then submit them shortly after I get home. So probably in around 8 hours.

Hug Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Spoiler @Lucky#17: I want to say that you have some ideas here that I really enjoy. Staying up all night with someone you love and the sun only coming out AFTER you sleep because the sun is jealous? Concept! There are times where I think the concept got dragged down by execution, and the chorus is a BIG example of it. The “Ooh” and “A-ooh” parts have lack lyrical substance compared to the other parts of the song, and since we can’t hear what you do, it’s just filler to us. The “punctual” / “factual” rhymes also seemed as if they were forced just a bit, like you struggled to think of what to put there and came up with something ~good enough. Even if that wasn’t how it went, it’s how it comes across as. My point is that it could’ve been done better. The swearing, tonically, feels out of place, but truthfully it’s a minor, if not subjective, thing. I found that the best parts in your song are the pre-choruses, they best express your message in the song, and it does so in a creative way. It makes it quite enjoyable. The verses are...okay, but they leave something to be desired. The chorus, which I believe should be the strong-point of a song in most cases, is where I think the most improvement could be done. It’s lyrically weaker than the other parts and doesn’t have anything creative or interesting to make up for it. Oh, and if you have a spoken part of the song, just label it spoken. We’re going to assume everything else will be sung unless it’s stated as a rap or spoken word piece. Really not a big deal. (more just a tip than actual advice.) Speaking of that bridge, though, I find it interesting that you, in a way, break the fourth wall, since you say you could list metaphors about storms forever, but this is flat-out how I feel about you, and while I appreciate the novelty of it (I’ve never really seen that in an entry, if we’re being honest), the tone feels weird, since it really only matches the chorus. The verses and pre-chorus seem to be closer to a more imagery-heavy style, which clashes with the conversational tone the chorus and bridge have. The tonal shifts make this feel a bit all over the place. Once again, I cba to add this to my OP.
Aurora Posted April 20, 2018 Author Posted April 20, 2018 Just a word of warning, because I'm sure some of y'all will be tempted to do it given PH seasons' past. Please don't draw inspiration from No Tears Left To Cry during the next challenge unless you want to have your song shipped back from Oceania.

Hug Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Spoiler @Xedretinz Lododnz: Generally, I feel as if this was maybe uninspired. The topic has been done before, the themes have been done before, and it feels familiar all around. I think finding more interesting topics or a different way of presenting familiar ideas would be a good place to start. There were quite a few instances where you ended lines with the same words and ultimately gave us nothing new in those lines. I think reaffirming points, particularly if they’re important to the song, can be good, but it got to be a bit much, If you can take out multiple lines an still get the same effect from the story, you should consider rewriting some so we get a better idea of what the people involved are like. I have no idea what caused the divide in these two people’s relationship, and I should have one by the end. The rhymes that were in the song weren’t particularly interesting (fire/desire being a big one). Interested/addicted was the best rhyme I felt you had, though the addicted line was phrased oddly. (Something along the lines of “Now I’m no longer addicted” would sound better.) The “Baby” and “Honey” at the end didn’t really add anything except meter, but since both lines have them, you could omit them and it’d generally be the same. It didn’t really seem like you were against rhyming lines with the same words, and interested/addicted would still be there, so it wouldn’t really be a bad thing. @SeanKevinMusic: It’s not a particularly innovative topic for a song, and nothing is really presented in an interesting way. While it’s not really bad, it does leave a lot to desire, as far as lyrical content goes. last reviews
