Tell us a little about yourself (preferred name, pronouns, etc.) most people here call me gabe, i like that one, gabriel is nice too! uhh, he/him are my pronouns but i can also go with they/them too! 2. What is your previous experience with song writing? i like writing to youtube instrumentals and i’ve also competed in a couple of PH seasons :3 3. Who are your favourite song writers? concept wise i would go with zola jesus. when it comes to execution, lucy rose is a favorite! i really like father john misty’s style, he’s very witty. kesha’s “spaceship” is a classic! 4. List some examples of your favourite lyrics and the best written songs in your opinion. today i really like ‘vermilion’ which i think stands on the more simple side of my writing! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PfYmxT0-DsA8YGnudVXF9uoT3UKk0Qvq3wCFWA7Os38/edit 5. What are some of your main sources of creative inspiration? i’ve been trying to learn how to make songs on ableton for the past few years and my main inspiration has always been the legend of zelda, specifically ocarina of time and majora’s mask. i love the forestal, folky, mystic and nostalgic aesthetic of everything from that universe! lately when i’ve been thinking about songwriting i think of hidden woods, farm towns and the colors orange and red! 6. Lastly, feel free you share some examples of your writing! <3 Well, I'm sure it goes without saying but I have obviously always adored your writing, honestly it will be a pleasure to read more great to have you. 8 minutes ago, ughgabriel said: @funnellegsis also an inspiration, please come back ? This! It says he hasn't been on in a while but hopefully our collective creative energy will reach out to him 4 minutes ago, hurricane326 said: That's it for that one, the title is just "Stones" Love a simple title tbh, it speaks for itself. For a piece so short, it's incredibly vivid. Thank you for sharing it Edited May 12, 2022 by fountain
Julia Fox Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) 1. Tell us a little about yourself (preferred name, pronouns, etc.) Hi I’m Diego, I'm 22 yo, you can call me anything you want because I don’t care. I’m gay and Chilean and I'm Pisces if you are into zodiac signs, also my ascent is Taurus and my moon is in Cancer xx 2. What is your previous experience with song writing? I just love song writing. I wrote my first song when I was like 6 years old and also I'm a part time hobby flop singer so I’m familiar with but I don’t know if I’m good lol 3. Who are your favourite song writers? Shakira pre 2009 was a very good songwriter, she has a very own style about writing and she’s so clever at that besides sometimes attempting to be a little camp and weird… also I love how artists like Cat Power, PJ Harvey, Joni Mitchell, Liz Phair, Lily Allen, Dido and Kesha write. I mean they are very versatile, have their own styles and also are very relatable without making it too for the public if you know what I mean… also they have very quirky lyrics that are such genius 4. List some examples of your favourite lyrics and the best written songs in your opinion. Grafton Street and The Day Before The Day by Dido are clearly the best songs written ever… i felt so inspired by them… they are so deep, descriptive, personal and at the same time so warm and pure poetry 5. What are some of your main sources of creative inspiration? My life experiences and imaginary thoughts 6. Lastly, feel free you share some examples of your writing! This is something I just wrote xx it’s not my best but I wanted to train rn for this competition so here I am xx feel devoured by the clock another day another bore and suddenly you are my baby give you some nights and now you are leaving we are alright, we are just playing oh god that’s the art of pretending we survive another weekend and another month is coming on life doesn’t let me breathe it’s like we don’t exist but i am here thinking bout tomorrow and while I’m at it now that’s thinking about yesterday Edited May 12, 2022 by Julia Fox
Hanami-Blossom Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) 1. Tell us a little about yourself (preferred name, pronouns, etc.) Hi, my username is Hanami-Blossom. I'm 21 years old. My pronouns are He/Him. Hanami means "flower viewing" in Japanese. I feel very connected to Spring. I added the hyphen for some extra luxuriousness! I am learning both Korean and Japanese, and I question existence a lot because why are we here n it's so weird. 2. What is your previous experience with song writing? I've written songs for fun. I haven't written much recently so I am excited to get back into it. I'm a bit rusty lol. The fact that there are no eliminations seems perfectly rigged for me, I love it! I'm looking forward to being able to participate in every single round without the possibility of being booTed off and I’m ready to learn more through this experience. :3 3. Who are your favourite song writers? LOCAL CONNECT, BRADIO, Taichi Mukai, Sohyang, Taylor Swift, Lorde, Mariah Carey, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kacey Musgraves, Florence Welch, Shania Twain 4. List some examples of your favourite lyrics and the best written songs in your opinion. Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel Beautiful Words - Sohyang Is this just an immature voyage above a frozen ocean? JINCHOUGE - LOCAL CONNECT Enchanted - Taylor Swift Rainbow - Kacey Musgraves Underneath the Stars - Mariah Carey 5. What are some of your main sources of creative inspiration? Nature, philosophy, my heart 6. Lastly, feel free you share some examples of your writing! This is a work-in-progress song, the placeholder title is Blossoming. I wrote the chorus first, then the pre-chorus and then the verse but then I rewrote the pre-chorus. The chorus is finished, the pre-chorus needs a little bit more and the verse needs a lot more. Enjoy! "Do you love me, or do you love me not?" That's what I've thought to myself, you could say quite a lot I let the rain from up above fall with my tears I let my roots absorb it all, the pain that I've feared This is a blossoming that I've been longing for In the arms of spring, I grow beyond my thorns Now everything around me's changing colours In this garden where we're all growing with each other Edited May 12, 2022 by Hanami-Blossom
ughgabriel Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 JDJSGSKS I THOUGHT QUESTION FOUR WAS ABOUT WHAT WE CONSIDERED TO BE OUR BEST LYRICS, PLEASE no i don’t think my songs are the best written ever sorry d
Augmented Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 I’d love to give this a go but am a bit confused, I’m not particularly confident in songwriting so do we have to like sing our songs? Sometimes lyrics don’t really work without the context of a rhythm and melody if u know what I mean.

Sometimes lyrics don’t really work without the context of a rhythm and melody if u know what I mean. No singing required! This game is strictly writing based. While we may be able to pick up on some of the rhythm and melody from reading, the focus is on the lyrics. (Of course, if you prefer to sing, then you are free to do that). If you don't feel confident enough yet to sign up, I'd maybe recommend checking back on the thread once the first challenge is posted and you can see if it inspires you and changes how you feel then? In general I would tell you not to worry about confidence and assure you that the judges will be treating everybody's writing with the utmost care, but at the same time I also understand how hard it can be sharing your personal writing, so I understand if you don't feel that comfortable yet. If you like, I can tag you when the first challenge is posted and you can think on it in the mean time? I understand your decision either way, and thank you for asking!

I mean, "lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains" might never be topped, honestly. I am not familiar with those Dido songs tbh, but I will have to listen to them after your description! The last three lines of your sample are a really great hook, if I am interpreting them right. I think most of us will relate to experiences like this, when time becomes a blur. It's a great inspiration to write about. 16 minutes ago, Hanami-Blossom said: 1.

Happy spring, Hanami! That's exactly the purpose of this game! You can think of it as a writing boot camp, or something like that. We're all just here to be creative and to write and to try and improve, having no eliminations takes away any of the worry, so this should be a good time! From the excerpt you've shared, I already love the natural imagery, it's very refreshing. Looks like it is going to become a great song! Thank you for sharing it

Achilles. Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 1. Tell us a little about yourself (preferred name, pronouns, etc.) I’m Jake (he/him). I’m unfortunately American and too old for this ****. All of it. 2. What is your previous experience with song writing? Wrote many songs circa 2011-2018, and nothing since then. I competed in a few seasons of Platinum Hits, coming in the top three once and then probably bombing the other time(s). Who even remembers? 3. Who are your favourite song writers? Taylor Swift, Madonna, Brandy Clark, Florence Welch, Natalia Kills, George Michael, Troye Sivan, Lori McKenna, Janelle Monae, Sufjan Stevens, Lorde…. 4. List some examples of your favourite lyrics and the best written songs in your opinion. 5. What are some of your main sources of creative inspiration? Lately, nothing. In the past, I’ve written a lot about identity, depression / anxiety, Greek mythology, and sociopolitical topics. And I just found this gem of a throwback while reviewing some old notes: Quote if you’re thinking about writing a song about being gay, it’s been done before and Achilles. Is already planning on doing it again, so you should really make sure you present your idea in a new, interesting way.

Tell us a little about yourself (preferred name, pronouns, etc.) My name’s Joe! 25 years old. he/him or they/them. i’m currently a 7th year undergrad student (lol) who will finally be done with college in august. i am classically trained on the double bass and i also sing and play guitar, autoharp, ukulele, keys, and a bit of flute. i love performing at open mics and even though most of my songs are kinda folky at the moment, i’d love to eventually become the first jewish bisexual MPB 2. What is your previous experience with song writing? I’ve been writing songs since i was 8! it just came very naturally and although i haven’t been trained a ton on keyboards, i started writing rudimentary song skeletons with my family’s piano 3. Who are your favourite song writers? Kate Bush, David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Joanna Newsom, Lana Del Rey, Mitski, Marina, Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse, PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple, Perfume Genius, Björk 4. List some examples of your favourite lyrics and the best written songs in your opinion. “while you are away, my heart comes undone, slowly unravels in a ball of yarn. the devil collects it with a grin, our love in a ball of yarn, he’ll never return it…” (unravel by björk) ”traced in the park, an outline in chalk, where i took his hand in mine for a little while everything was alright…” (no good by perfume genius) ”here i am again my girl, wondering what on earth i’m doing here? maybe he doesn’t love me, i just took a trip on my love for him…” (the man with the child in his eyes by kate bush) ”well it took a lot of work to be the ass that i am, and i’m really damn sure that anyone can, equally, easily, f*ck you over” (dark center of the universe by modest mouse) “and the tilt of this strange nation, and the will to remain for the duration, waving the flag, feeling it drag! like a bump on a bump on a log, baby, like i’m in a fistfight with the fog, baby” (good intentions paving company by joanna newsom) 5. What are some of your main sources of creative inspiration? definitely my personal life and my craving for knowledge, nature and nightwalks, and my struggles with identity and religion/spirituality 6. Lastly, feel free you share some examples of your writing! here are a few lyrics from some of my songs: I know it's a risk but I've let go of your grasp no starlight in the musk of creeks and fog of grass deliverances materializing, let delphinus crash tonight it's quantifying, electrifying my steps from now on I know I'm a fraud or a daunting f*ck sometimes I know I have lips of spikes or teeth of mud your mussitations are no match for me your energy will, maybe, get you somewhere (from Lucid Palimpsest, 2019) arrest me, make me feel so good address me, feel you really should honey, it’s oh so simple, I need a link to your fingertips, yes! a paralipsis of all your tresses as we accumulate greater antimatter, we only expand from here, yeah so winsomely, so featly perched, til cynosure I plunge, yeah (from Vlontresska, 2018) allocate her blessedness to flights of independence she’s a messenger in every light she’s a winter with her shrines complicate her messages she walks with all her florid friends to gain some looks, books and throws this queen has spirits in her flaming irises oh she has love in traces of dust and I said “hey could I be a queen someday” I’d love to be a queen where she is (from Queen A, 2017) and here’s a gratuitous electropop bop for all my gays lol

Hopefully some of our challenges will fit the ideas you have moving forward! It's five years since we had a writing game like this with no eliminations and it's definitely time it happened again. Aurora and I are planning to have this be a recurring thing, so hopefully lots of creativity can flourish and be nurtured with this game

Love the artists you listed and the lyrics you highlighted, the taste! I listened to your first two songs while reading through these, and I'll listen to the other two now, because I really enjoyed them! Both the lyrics, and your voice, I loved listening. Honestly, you remind me somewhat of @Jackson (who just quoted you as well, the coincidence ) who also writes and sings folky music. And this is definitely intended as a compliment, because he has won a song writing game on here before Super interested to see what you submit! Thanks for sharing these and for signing up

So, if you're particularly busy one week, it's fine to not submit and miss a round. Since we will average the scores for every round at the end of the game this will lower your average at the end unfortunately, but you can definitely still take part when you can and don't have to worry when you can't!

Hanami Blossom would be an amazing real name though.
