swiftie13 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Quote “They seem really happy together,” says a source close to the couple. “Katy couldn’t stop gushing about how Steven was able to clean up his hard drive and free up additional storage space. It definitely seems like she’s ready to move on from Orlando [Bloom].” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftie13 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) ROUND 7 REVIEWS PT. II Aurora The opening line is so messy, I can’t stop focusing on it. ANYWAY. This sounded like pompous AP English poetry and while it was pretty, most of it was not lyrical and it actually detracted from the meaning. The tenses were also a bit rough. This is style over substance. But who am I to talk? Case in point: A Sunflower’s Dance. This was a bit long, however. Poetic language works well with short and sweet songs, whereas in longer ones like yours, it feels overbearing and even pretentious, especially with a concept as simple as yours. I do find it beautifully written otherwise, so no offense to you as a writer in general. “Pretty stars tell pretty lies,” is perfect. Do you write outside of PH? You truly are gifted! I’m just not so sure about this entry’s lyricism. ughgabriel Wow, the flow in Prologue is pretty much impeccable. And to top it off, the language is beautiful, concise, and no quality is sacrificed in order to fit within the meter or rhyme scheme, at least for the most part. I do think however, that the second verse was weaker than the first. It almost felt redundant and the bridge was a bit melodramatic especially with the lips/kiss rhyme. Epilogue opens just as gracefully despite the change in structure. The chorus fell a little flat (and it’s 'should’ve given' not 'should’ve gave'). I feel like the first stanza was poignant enough to be the chorus. The other two brought it down. The bliss/abyss rhyme stuck out like a sore thumb although I’m trying not to be too harsh on easy rhymes. I see what you mean by the color/dolor rhyme and as a Spanish speaker myself, I get it, but again it sticks out in a negative way. The outro was sentimental and while it wasn’t completely necessary, it wrapped this unique entry quite well. Kudos for thinking outside the box! I always value originality, especially when executed this well. Jackson “[…] of when I thought that you cared,” is clunky and it’s quite obvious that it’s meant to fit the meter but seeing as it makes sense within the context of the song, I can’t really penalize you too much for it. Plus it's really pedantic of me. However, I’ve seen you be more effortless and clever. Immediately you make up for that and MORE with the killer couplet, “Your heart's five hundred miles from mine in someone else's room / He holds your body captive as I come to rescue you.” Wow. What is it with this round and poignant couplets? You did that. The ten minutes til takeoff/to landing is classic Jackson. It’s the clever and effortless I was talking about. The way you showcased the passage of time so simply but so impressively. I know it’s small but man, that’s what writers do. The chorus is jarring, although beautiful on its own, because in no way do you make room for water imagery to suddenly appear, even if the bottle is classic (hackneyed) imagery. It feels more about air than water. Overall, I love how the verses are very simple but they hit the nail in the head. The length was ideal as well. The only real mishap here was the inconsistent metaphors between the verses and chorus. Edited February 14, 2017 by swiftie13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
