fountain Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Pears Reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOCyvf7kl2g @Jackson - With this entry, I love your lyrical style. Again you've done a good job of improving your emotional content. If there's any kind of issue here though, I think it's that you bounce around topics a little. You go from like, getting kicked out the house to becoming a homeless prostitute to contemplating suicide. Of course it's storytelling but, I felt like each different 'phase' if you could call it that, could've used a little more attention, or the transitions between each could've been smoother. For example, not that it's an important factor, but I don't think I would've realised this was about a gay person unless you said so in your description, cause you don't really hint at it other than in religious context and while the two are related at times, it's a little too disconnected for me. You could've focused on just one of these aspects in more detail and it would've felt more well rounded, I think. You did a good job of making this obviously a song with the meter. What I like about your writing is that you have a pretty good range of topics that you like to work with. For me, if you make it thru to the semi finals, I'd like you to continue this kind of unpredictability, and continue trying to improve your emotional connection.

fountain Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Pears Reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOCyvf7kl2g @ceremonials - Rhymes on point. Lyricism on point. The only thing I'm questioning a little bit is what this narrative is supposed to be. Cause it's completely vague. I can't tell if you're trying to be metaphorical or like it's literally about somebody fighting for, like, a king? I'm so unsure. That said though, the ambiguity didn't really hinder this too much because I loved how you kept to the theme, it was a real smooth song that I enjoyed. With your writing, I really enjoy your lyricism especially on songs like this and your entry last round where you stray away from being overly solemn and depressing. I think, in a way, that attempt at conveying such a strong emotion all the time can drown out and take away from your writing. So if I were you, I'd continue on this kind of path. I don't think there's an issue in being inspired by that kind of dark aura, but it should never overtake your song which in the past I would say it has come close to, so I'd be careful of that. This was much nicer stylistically, if you see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountain Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Pears Reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOCyvf7kl2g @ughgabriel - I thought you did a perfect job of taking the story and writing around it. Your use of imagery was really, really good and you mixed it seamlessly with really sweet sentimental lines which I adore. It's quite a tough job taking a story like this which is so interpretive too and crafting it into a song so, I think you did an amazing job. And I love this about your writing in general, like in other tracks like Artificial Paradise, you're unafraid to take inspiration which is so different and manages to take me into different worlds at times. This has been really unique to me. You always manage to make your songs emotional but without losing sophistication, for example in Tijuana. I feel like you never go the easy route lyrically, there is always a nice degree of refinement to your entries which I really enjoy. I would suggest keeping that up, pretty much.
