I'm glad you liked my opening couplet- I knew "mutilated"/"bastardizing" was a bit risky as a starting point so I'm glad you appreciated the tone it set. The chorus was also I part I spent at least 30 minutes writing despite just being 4 lines in order to have it roll smoothly off the tongue so I'm glad you got that too. This was one of my favorite songs to write that I can remember and I'm definitely much more proud of this than my last one. My song if anyone else wants to read. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OxAtgcztvYm_Il7ntux71_agr_e87_FzOdrdU73wanM/edit?usp=sharing I read through the others in the thread and honestly they're all great. Not sure what has attracted this much talent to this season but I'm glad we got quality rather than quantity of contestants. bumping in case anyone else wants to read i broke the katy perry curse, this is my 10th career #1 now. i was thinking this was my witness era after last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hug Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I'm sure you're aware already, but @hurricane326writers like you are why we have the comeback structured the way we do. We know what kind of writer you are, and even if this wasn't your best week, we'd love to see you do the comeback (if you want to, of course!) you're truly a force to be reckoned with.

Oh wow two bops, I love the tasteful use of parentheses, I used to use them in earlier writing and got clocked a lot for it n, but I still think it can be a pretty lyrical device as you have demonstrated. The "resentment/foresee" couplet in the second pre-chorus was spectacular! Iridescence is also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Good afternoon Aurorites, we have some new information exclusive to the blog this update! We'll get to that in a moment. Right now, we must talk about the performance of Aurora's latest offering, "2"! The new single was released last week to acclaim from most critics, and recently debuted at #6 on the SOTS Charts, just ahead of Aurora's previous single ""Satan, Not Today!"" which came in at #7. Aurora again took to Instagram to thank her followers for their support as an independent artist, however one interaction left Aurorites rather confused... a fan commented, "is this the next official single love x," to which Aurora simply responded, "Lead. ??" Aurorites will of course remember a similar response was made last fortnight after the #7 debut of ""Satan, Not Today!"" on the SOTS Charts. This caused much speculation amongst fans, from whether or not the prior single would be scrapped, or if perhaps Aurora was working on two separate albums? However only the pre-order for upcoming album 'Aurenaissance' remains. While Aurora herself has been radio silent since the confusing Instagram comment, we did some digging and according to an anonymous source, Aurora's upcoming album will be comprised of two parts, or "sides", similar to classic vinyl records. The first part, allegedly dubbed the "Exocanvas", will feature material exploring themes that Aurora has been inspired by and resonates with, while the second part, the "Endocanvas", will explore Aurora's own experiences and voice within. While this is all still speculation at this stage, it would seemingly support Aurora's Instagram claim of two lead singles, one from each "side", and echo the dichotomy between the themes of both ""Satan, Not Today!"" and "2". If true, which "side" are you most excited for; the "Exocanvas" or the "Endocanvas"? In the meantime, pre-order/pre-save 'Aurenaissance', buy/stream singles ""Satan, Not Today!"" and "2", and don't forget to support Aurora's collection of 5 reissues, including the new body of work 'Scrapbook: Recycled'!

8thPrince Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Summer's Evidence Spoiler [VERSE 1] Faster than I could turn the calendar page Drenched in reminders and exam dates June somehow suddenly arrived My uniform’s on the hanger, still dripping sweat And study guides pour off of my desk, But it must’ve come when I realized: You swapped your crewnecks For a Bardot neckline [CHORUS] The flecks of summer on your shoulders, That beam that leaves a single strand of hair dyed Is all the evidence I need The distance my eyes will travel From your collarbones to lips: There’s not a moment unnoticed by me Dewdrops on soda cans abandoned As we raced to the lake, the forest’s palette Is stained all over my white tee The sunlight threading through the branches Like you weave through the trees, your dress’s pinwheel Is proof my summer’s beginning [VERSE 2] Your flats and my loafers both sit on the shore Where two pairs of Converse were kicked off before But this year they’re both neatly aligned The bottle of mineral water you brought Is the only relief from the heat that we’ve got So as I lift it to my lips I ask if this summer will ignite With this secondhand kiss? [CHORUS] Your laughter clear as the bottle Of crystal water I failed waterfalling And spilled all over my blue jeans The milliseconds of silence That lapse between each splintered conversation All counted by me The way you hitch up your skirt hem To vault a wooden fence you used as a shortcut Way back when we were both thirteen Your dress that wraps up all the colors Of summertime and all my mixed emotions Is proof that first love’s beginning [BRIDGE] In the few seconds I had spent Carefully rolling up my pant legs You were neck-deep inside the lake Even if I hoped to reach you there Or shielded my eyes from the sun’s glare: I’d lose you completely Behind the crest of each wave [CHORUS] The way the water cuts my breath short And keeps me from even calling your name out Is all the evidence I need The milliseconds of silence That lapse each time we see Our talks aren’t easy like they used to be Your dress that whipped through the forest And just out of my reach is now a white flag, A banner of my timidity And when you slip through the branches And disappear with the last rays of sunlight It’s proof that my summer’s ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
