TruGemini Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 I truly, truly, don't know how I feel about my entry, it feels problematic, but I submitted. Sweet Release Instrumental (0:22) I feel the lights and they're all around me, pump beats and the crowd yells loudly Overwhelming but it will not bound me, I refuse to let it be my bounty Dark nights but the son keeps shining, so encompassed by the heat, it's blinding If I store a little hope I'll find it, if I got a little drive let's ride it All night till the wheels keep falling, lord knows I can't don't this often Some signs and it's cause for caution, but im'ma party till the cops come barge in If I gotta live a life I'll live it, if I gotta fight a fight I'll win it If I gotta face the time I'll race it, all day 'til my bones can't take it (0:58) Pour up, my cup, no cares, so what No funds, just fun, can't have, too much Heartbroke, dumbstruck, it's my, dumb luck One pill, two pill, three pill, bot's up (1:15) One test can't deter my journey, so broke but I still stand sturdy Long days but I wake up early, long road but I'll take this journey Trek this mountain, with no worry Drink this fountain, lord I'm worthy Cure my karma, God please hurry I'm not ready, show me mercy Feel my strength is faded and it's just too much, people gotta worry 'bout the things I touch Now I gotta worry 'bout the ones I ******, stripped all my ambitions now you kill my love This is just too much, just too tough Just too hard, just too rough Just too fast, just too rushed Grip my heart, feel the crush (1:51) I want, a sweet, release My mind, my soul, is weak I know, tommo-rows, bleak Just let, me lie, asleep (2:08) I swear my mind is vacant, I'm sick of going to places All parts of my body aching, I fake it, but I can't make it I'm sick of seeing their faces, their sympathy I can't take it The symphony's feeling faded, and faded, and faded, and faded (2:26) I want, a sweet, release My mind, my soul, is weak I know, tommo-rows, bleak Just let, me lie, asleep

fountain Posted June 17, 2022 Author Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Round 5: The Judge’s Choice Challenges, cultural edition Here’s some early reviews for the few players who have submitted for my challenge so far if anybody else is thinking of also doing so then feel free to and I will review when I have the opportunity. @Achilles. - Graveyard (Land of Opportunity) (Cultural Challenge) This is a very relatable topic, at least for me personally. I’m from a small town also, which could be described like the one you are from, so I totally get where this is coming from and it was hard not to picture my own hometown when reading this, so you could say it definitely touched me in that way. It’s a really beautiful and sentimental song overall, you’ve really demonstrated this feeling so well throughout the song, it really is a great example of how many of us grow up and feel in these types of places. I would say in terms of the challenge, it could have a little more cultural influence, the only two real uses are the “land of opportunity” and “American dream” lines, so more specificity or uniqueness in terms of looking at this through an American lens could have occurred; like I said I found it very easy to picture my own town which in terms of reliability and putting across your message is great, but in terms of the challenge shows that I think it probably isn’t as culturally personal as it should be. But that aside, overall I very much enjoy the song as its own stand alone piece, another high quality entry from you. @Augmented - Lost (Cultural Challenge) This is another really stunning song from you about identity. Personally I can relate to this a lot, also being British but having an immigrant family. A lot of the things you described I also experienced and it was amazing to see them vocalised in a song; that feeling of not wholly belonging to either, the idea of living in a country and being surrounded by people that had their own flag on show but then in your home you had another culture (for me it was Chinese imagery and symbols), and not really knowing much about that culture and not knowing how (or if) you can identify with it. I think this is an absolutely stellar song and perfect interpretation of the challenge, really I was just amazed reading the song because of how much I connected with what you were discussing and how well you touched such a complex topic. Another fantastic round for you, great job you should absolutely be proud of this. @mxtthewdelrey - No Train Out (Cultural Challenge) Another entry I can really relate to, even down to the title (we don’t have a station in my town, either). I think you’ve really encompassed the feelings of living in a small, rural town here and how suffocating it can feel. The part about living close to places that you fear such as high school really hit me too because whenever I have to pass my high school it still irks me too, it’s really amazing to see these feelings put into song because it’s always great to see that there are others out there who feel the same; well, not great because it’s a shitty situation, but good in the sense that it can create some camaraderie over the united experience. I also liked the references to typical British things like Lidl, it really drove home the more personal cultural aspect of the song, and the imagery of your baggage filling up all the seats on the train if there did happen to be one was really striking. Overall I think this is another strong entry from you, great job! @Legend E - Maria (Cultural Challenge) I’m very happy to say that I think this is a huge improvement over last week. I absolutely enjoyed the story that you told here of Maria, it was moving and also a great look at Romanian culture with the lovely references that you have layered in throughout the song; you have excelled at the challenge in that aspect. What I particularly love about the story is that you have portrayed quite a complex situation where she dreams of moving away from her village, and achieves this, but then actually ends up missing that place and feeling she has lost a part of herself; that is such a bittersweet and realistic narrative and I’m so glad that you portrayed it in this way because it felt very true to nature. It also would have been fine if she excelled in the city and had a perfectly happy ending there, but the fact that you chose to explore the idea that perhaps she didn’t get everything she wanted there and still had some longing for the village was very moving; ultimately I think you’ve beautifully shown that really, all we want is to feel like we belong somewhere, and unfortunately in this case for Maria she doesn’t feel like she totally belongs in either… but the reality is that a lot of people feel this way in their lives, and I think you portrayed this feeling in a very touching and relatable way which really made me think. Overall, I think this is one of my favourite entries from you, I have really enjoyed reading it and thinking about it. Edited June 17, 2022 by fountain
