Jackson Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintWest Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) For anybody who cares, this was the song I worked really hard on but didn't submit. 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 Edited February 13, 2017 by SaintWest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
