Sorry for the quicker results, these are always a mess to try and do from mobile and I just wanted to get them done as smoothly as possible!

 

As always don’t feel discouraged by any rankings this round… the scores truly tell a different story, especially this round more than ever. This was a round with a very high average score and as such you can’t really relate our enjoyment of the songs against where they ranked as we really loved them all. You’ll see once the scores are revealed during the finale!

 

Great job again everybody, and I hope inspiration for the final challenge is striking as strongly as this round

[Hug]

Here is my results look by the way

Okay just got back from my trip and I'm settling into the house so I'm ready to wrap my Bronze Hit (+droplet) season up

and oop! I've done 3/4 of these last season (technically all 4 if you count "coillabing" with Sigrid kiii.) Will need a hot minute to think on this one.

14. @Element - “NIGHT VISIONS II: TETRIS HYPNOTIC”

Wow, long time no see! Welcome back to the Golden Hit fam! The serve out of the gate in the opening lines… come through night mode! (It’s funny because I actually have Dark Reader activated while reading these songs nnn). I kind of screamed at “coming soon! a purple t.”, but in a good way. This was such a unique experience, I don’t think I ever thought I’d read a song about dreaming about tetris before? What a serve. “fade to black i beg of thee” was such a great lyric in this context because it could be referring to wanting the dream to be over, or literally wanting a line match so the line “fades to black”. Genius! I think I do recall the original “Night Visions”... not the song itself of course but I’m pretty sure it was written for PH8’s “Title Track” challenge where we asked players to write a title track for popular albums without one (in this case, Imagine Dragons’ “Night Visions”, iirc?) This was very cute and while I hadn’t heard of the Tetris effect, I can definitely see how this would impact a person’s life (even if it’s not a phenomenon strictly stemming from a dream-related altered state of consciousness). All in all this was fun, even camp at times (I see you’ve been attending the Allday school of exclamations!) and generally a welcome creative wildcard with some fantastic elevated lyricism and rhyming mixed in. It’d be wonderful to see you return again for the finale if you were so inclined!

 

Thank you for your review! I know you've been busy so I appreciate all of the feedback (something that I can not say I could produce myself )

I'm glad that the campy nature of the song came across! It was really enjoyable to do something fun and different!

lyrics for anyone interested...

 

NIGHT VISIONS II: TETRIS HYPNOTIC

night mode activated. system loading...

(*gasp!*)

(“level 1.”)

 

[VERSE 1]
overwhelming
today was overwhelming
premonition deep inside
that my mind will start rebelling

 

manifesting
my brain is manifesting
illusions in the night
that destroy my hopes of resting

 

[PRE-CHORUS 1]
orange, blue, orange, green
orange, blue, orange, green
coming soon! a purple t.
(but i’m)
looking for the straightest line
to help me clear my anxious mind
and yet it’s always out of sight

 

[CHORUS]
blue j, red z / falling suddenly
no escaping this perpetual cacophony
hallucinations of a daily devotion
lost control to my hypnotic emotions

contoured colors in the skies / twisting, turning through the night
shattering my peace of mind
hallucinations of a daily devotion
drowning quickly in the neural commotion

 

(“level 2.”)

 

[VERSE 2]
unrelenting
phosphenes were unrelenting
and what’s my rationale
for a quest that’s never ending?

 

perfect patterns
no dreams, just perfect patterns
can’t comprehend the spell
of my brain’s chromatic hell!

 

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
yellow, red, yellow, green
yellow, red, yellow, green
dropping fast — they’re gaining speed!
(and i’m)
desperate for a calming sign
to pause this tumultuous time
but yet it’s always out of sight

 

[CHORUS]
blue j, red z / falling suddenly
no escaping this perpetual cacophony
hallucinations of a daily devotion
lost control to my hypnotic emotions

contoured colors in the skies / twisting, turning through the night
shattering my peace of mind
hallucinations of a daily devotion
drowning quickly in the neural commotion

 

(“level 3.”)

 

[BRIDGE]
orange, blue, orange, green
fade to black i beg of thee
calm my mind and set me free

 

blue j, red z, blue j, red z
fade to black i beg of thee
calm my mind and set me free

 

yellow, red, yellow, green
fade to black i beg of thee
calm my mind and set me free

 

magenta t with cyan screams
fade to black i beg of thee!
just need to win so i’ll be free…

 

[CHORUS]
blue j, red z / falling suddenly
no escaping this perpetual cacophony
hallucinations of a daily devotion
lost control to my hypnotic emotions

contoured colors in the skies / twisting, turning through the night
shattering my peace of mind
hallucinations of a daily devotion
drowning quickly in the neural commotion

 

(*gasp!*)

g-g-game over.

Submitted a good one!

Oop, if any more inspiration strikes don’t forget there’s still over 5 days left so you can definitely use the time if any more ideas come, especially since it’ll be the last entries of the season!

 

Also, you only selected one challenge in the chosen challenges question so I’m not sure what your second choice is. I’ve edited the question to make it a little more clear.

At #5 with a song that was split between two worlds and two souls…

 

@worldwide angel with “Twilight”

thank you all so much 

[TruGemini]

@fountain Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but are we allowed to incorporate more than the two required challenges?

[Remmy]

Think I found my title & concept  This will be a completely new type of song from me

We were waiting to see if somebody was going to ask this… and yes, if you want to try more than two challenges, that is fine

 

Not surprised that you would be the one considering it, another Sweet Release serve coming our way?
