tournament Golden Hit: Season 1 📀 Congrats to 8thPrince and Jackson!! 🏆🏆

[OreGuy]

congrats @GentleDance   and @Prisoner, you guys are turning IT this early wheew

[fountain]

Congrats everybody this was an incredibly close round, so many great scores all around! I hope you are all so proud because I know the judges are!

 

Round 2 will be coming shortly once GentleDance has had their much deserved moment!

[Aurora]

A truly deserving Top 3, and my personal Top 3 also! (Not necessarily in that order). Y'all did so well. And congrats on @GentleDance on your masterfully impressive writing debut and the first 9+ scoring entry of the season! That's not easy to achieve.

[fountain]

Oh btw make sure to stay in the thread as Round 2 will feature a sign up component!

Thank you

 

I'll share what I wrote, I was reluctant at first, I didn't have much confidence in my writing... and I'll hurry to sleep, it's 5am around here

[Hanami-Blossom]

Well done everyone, regardless of what the rankings are!

 

I know everyone put their energy into this and there's endless amounts of learning and growth available to us all

[Legend E]

do we actually get cute lil tokens or is that only for the top 3 of the entire season?

[GentleDance]

RUPTURE

 

 

[Verse 1]

Bound and released

Dragging our decaying bodies

Through decaying fancies

And decaying sceneries

Oh, I know, you never go to strangers

You’ll just be unearthing

Some dusty ventures

 

 

[Verse 2]

They must be missing your company

Go tell them about the joys of your astronomy

Tell them the weather around me is still murky

And my mind is still so worldly

 

 

[Chorus]

Wait on your auspicious conjuncture

I’ll just pace the earth

Sensing the impending rupture

 

 

[Verse 3]

And I envy you

The groundless fantasies you lay to

You talk of elysian fields and past glories

And I’ll sleep to my earthly recurring worries

 

 

[Verse 4]

You’ll look to the constellations for consolation

And I’ll just be barefoot in the yard

Forgetting sense and intention

Glaring very hard

At your rosemary and lavender

 

 

[Chorus]

Wait on your auspicious conjuncture

I’ll just pace the earth

Sensing the impending rupture

 

 

[Verse 5]

I could tell those days of warfare

When you’d double-check the pressure on your spare

Those astral calendars by which you swear

Sometimes tell you to beware

Be aware everywhere, you must prepare!

 

[Verse 6]

Now, I just want to sit very still

Watching your centaur temper sliding downhill

Another hot December

You spent matching earthen matters

To the seasons in your ledger

Too far from the damp mounds

Of our home grounds

And the discounts

And the approving gaze

And the lonely grave

Of that uptown street vendor

 

 

[Chorus]

Wait on your auspicious conjuncture

I’ll just pace the earth

Sensing the impending rupture

 

[mxtthewdelrey]

congrats everyone    

 

@fountain now that the results have been posted can you confirm or deny if I was intentionally placed #27 due to my song's theme

I'm extremely grateful, it imbues me with so much confidence

[Augmented]

Well done everyone 

Also thank you guys for all the time you spent scoring and reviewing every song! 
Really excited to prove myself and hopefully grow stronger lyrically in the next rounds

Maybe we should delay results more often with the activity and hints y'all are getting, whew.

 

We really do appreciate your patience and support, so here's a little teaser of the Hit Tokens the Top 3 placing writers will earn after this round's results show! I will contact the winning writers to see what image they would like embossed. I wonder if anyone will collect all three during the season?

"If I Leave This Earth" did not only place #27 but it was also my 27th franchise entry. Fate is quite Beautiful, don't you think?
