I'm so excited to be part of the judging panel this season!! Thank you @fountain and @Aurora for the kind introduction and for inviting me to the panel in the first place!! This is my first time judging any Platinum Hit/Golden Hit season, so this will be a super different experience for me! I am very much looking forward to sharing my constructive commentary as a peer reviewer and big music fan. Can't wait!

@Jackson Not you snubbing "Sanctuary", aka your magnum opus!

Felt inspired today and wrote this… this is so personal right now and it’s hard to be so open and exposed on a forum full of strangers but I feel that’s the power of writing and doing art, showing your vulnerability and strengths so here it is xx

Thank you for sharing! Your style of writing is lovely and I look forward to seeing how you apply it to the first round's challenge.

Eh what the hell. I’ll do the questions when I’m at my laptop.

Welcome, and thank you for signing up! This tournament can be as lowkey or as involved as you want to make it, and we're happy to support any and all styles of creative energy.

1. Tell us a little about yourself (preferred name, pronouns, etc.)

My name is (surprise) Jackson. I'm 25 and have my degrees in accounting which unlike @Element I don't (always) resent. I'm from the western US but live in Chicago.

 

2. What is your previous experience with song writing?

I've been writing songs since before I could read. I participated in every Platinum Hit season either as a contestant/judge/host between 2014-2017 before taking a few years off. I've also written songs with friends and even a few ATRLers, performed at some open mics and post songs sporadically online. I'm currently working on a project - whether it ends up being an EP, mixtape, or album is yet to be decided.

 

3. Who are your favourite song writers?

I'm not going to pretend to have profound music taste. Much like @Aurora, I was raised on pure pop and my first fave is Katy Perry. I was also the OG Kacey Musgraves stan on here. I'm a big fan of the storytelling in country lyrics and the way pop paints such vivid pictures lyrically and melodically.

 

4. List some examples of your favourite lyrics and the best written songs in your opinion.

Proof that Katy CAN be an excellent songwriter

 

5. What are some of your main sources of creative inspiration?

I like to write about all aspects of life. My writing tends to be quite introspective, often about my own anxieties and insecurities. In the past, I wrote a lot about my struggles with religion and identity. I'm also not afraid to write a basic pop bop too, though.

 

6. Lastly, feel free you share some examples of your writing!

I'll take this opportunity to share some of my favorite original songs

 

 

 

Deliver us another 10 scoring song

I definitely recommend Jackson's Goodnight EP to everybody, I even bought it on iTunes  you and @swiftie13 slayed

life is crashing everything from me

what a tragedy

abandoned like atlantis

no one's dancing with me

people scream to me 

they said you are not searching for me

said they see you with someone new

and my heart felt like rain

pouring, bombing, breaking in

my bedroom was like an ocean

dark and blue like the night we met

may 5th 2019

how could I forget that date

you know now it’s been three years 

doesn’t it feel like yesterday

that we kiss once for the first time

on your warm little old bed

watching documentaries 

cigarettes, daydreams and butterflies

were all over our hearts

who would have thought we did this far

but it’s over and it’s sad

but nothing lasts forever 

but i know we could have make it

but you didn’t wanted 

i was alone on that road called us

and i feel tired 

i felt useless, empty and not enough 

and i fall into this void

and i'm still nowhere near to collide

please stop me from the impact

can you please just payback me for once? 
 

and this 

 

flowers will never bloom now in this house

and birds will never sing like this around 

the sun just disappear just like you did 

and your perfume is just a memory

 

who would have know?

i need to start again

and there’s something clear

it is without you

oh and this is not the end

i can breathe and dance 

but first I have to cry and feel the pain

that you are making me feel

 

some songs can’t be listened for a while

and my mom will have to stop asking how you are 

the dog will miss you but she will be fine 

because you are not essential to survive for us

 

who would have know?

I have to start again 

it’s like a new season for the TV show we used to watch on Thursday nights 

but now i can watch all by myself 

but first I have to cry and feel the pain

that you are making me feel

You're absolutely right, that vulnerability can also be used as a strength and a way to empower yourself, and you're doing a great job of doing so

Thank you for sharing your writing again, these are clearly emotional songs and it's really a privilege to get to read them. I enjoyed reading both but particularly enjoyed the first one, the little person details you scattered into the song really help make it unique to your situation and special. Also, hope you are doing okay  you always have a place and an outlet here with us!

Bestie, co-hostie, I thought we agreed not to spoil the GHxLS crossover event where players must include the word "spoon" into their lyrics until next month?

[khalyan]

Do we need more contestants?

Not the self exposé.  This could be your redemption arc! At any rate, sign ups will remain open throughout the season so if inspiration strikes even for a single round, feel free to join in at any time! And good to see the cheque finally cleared for the banner.

[fountain]

By the grace of @khalyan 

 

 

Thank you again!

I might need to message @Aurora to discuss changing the concept of the game to allowing one person to be eliminated and everybody else stays...

 

idk if you're hearing this Remmy but you're the one

Unfortunately for you change.org has no authority or influence over Golden Hit  only bribery might work

Right  It definitely feels like it blew up in late 2021... and due to the reset it was harder to find but luckily Google's cache archive came through.

You say that now but that petition will go straight to the supreme court (or something like that) and then ATRL will go down for a while as an investigation occurs - and we all know only one game will be able to survive that
