BTW I tried to write a very risky and out of the box entry this week but it just WASNT working so I ended up writing this. I don't think it's very much like any of my entries except maybe Vilomah though. It's the first relationship song I've written this season

But like I said, I'm serious about the game but not serious about songwriting in general.  I don't understand why there is a problem with this?  Every season during sign ups, people sign up that have never written a song or consider themselves songwriters.  That was me my first season.  I've just enjoyed the same so much that I keep playing.  So I don't think me being realistic about my knowledge of songwriting versus someone like Jackson or 8th is a bad thing. 

 

So I don't know why you said my point is "lacking" when I said I do better in challenges that give me a little boost of motivation and creativity.  It made perfect sense to @Hug. And yes, I know that not all of the challenges this season are open ended but Hug gave me the same critique this week as he did last week - that I seem uninspired and not creative with my songs and I'm telling him honestly why that is.  It's not a knock against you, the game, or anything else.  It's just me.  

I didn't say there was a problem, just explaining that in doing so it makes perfect sense why you'd struggle to simply write a song if you've never actually done it before relying solely on your own creativity. That's just it. You critiqued the challenge for this but it makes perfect sense that the reason you struggled is down to your own choices and experience. Regarding new writers, theres a reason this obviously isn't the first challenge. By this point a new writers had 6 chances to write and we're now at the top 9. It's a challenge of your creativity and if you struggle with that, you're obviously gonna do worse. And creativity is key for a writer, so that's that. As much as you may feel this challenge leaves you blank on what to do it's also liberating in that you can do anything. I mean inspiration is around us everywhere so it shouldn't be that foreign of a concept to draw inspiration from somewhere.

To be fair, you're the only one who is Tumblr famous for their songwriting here.

Funny how I've only gotten advice on one song this season and it was my lowest peaking (but also my best)

For anybody who cares, this was the song I worked really hard on but didn't submit. :celestial4:

 

anna



[verse 1]

News that was long awaited

Came with nine months of celebrating

Names picked out for our little girl

If only I could’ve seen the future

Doctor visits, Disney trips

Father dancers that would be missed

Chasing away boys one day

But things didn’t work out that way

 

[pre-chorus]

Her memories are still a blur

One day I’ll explain to her

Why daddy’s no longer here

Why we visit New York every year

 

[chorus]

You called before your flight took off

On that tragic September morning

For weeks we spoke of future plans

Yet in hours, they’d mean nothing

That day you fell, I fell with you

And grief overtook my whole world

But each day, I get peeks of you

In the face of our baby girl

 

[verse 2]

Age 8 she shed her training wheels

Age 9 she road a ferris wheel

But I can’t forge the memory

Of Christmas with the family

Each September I’m so lonely

My grieving overcomes me

But these thoughts start to subside

When I look in Anna’s eyes

 

[pre-chorus]

Her memories are still a blur

One day I’ll explain to her

Why daddy’s no longer here

Why we visit New York every year

 

[chorus]

You called before your flight took off

On that tragic September morning

For weeks we spoke of future plans

Yet in hours, they’d mean nothing

That day you fell, I fell with you

And grief overtook my whole world

But each day, I get peeks of you

In the face of our baby girl

 

[bridge]

Every part of you I’ve missed

Your soulful heart and gentle lips

You’re my angel fallen down

But I still feel your soul around

In the dimples on her cheeks

I find the happiness I seek

Every day I feel your gaze
We’ll meet again one of these days

 

[chorus]

You called before your flight took off

On that tragic September morning

For weeks we spoke of future plans

Yet in hours, they’d mean nothing

That day you fell, I fell with you

And grief overtook my whole world

But each day, I get peeks of you

In the face of our baby girl

I have already written about the inspiration I have around me twice this season.  Other than those two, I don't see any inspiration in my cats daily life or my gymnasts falling off of beam.

As someone who isn't/wasn't an actual songwriter, don't give up hope.

Well I'm out this round anyway (judging by Hug's reviews/rankings) so I don't think there is any use in still hoping.

Maybe you're just not very creative

Also, true. Citrus ended up clocking someone who actually wants to do songwriting for a living in the PH9 finale.

I'm judging later today post-work, so my inbox is still ripe for bribing.
