Hug Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 IDK I thought it was cool! Though I also get the feeling of there being so many directions that it's nearly a free round which can make it hard. I loved my idea I came up with and I think this is already stronger than most of what I sent in GH1 so I'm feeling great about myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles. Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Well I wrote… something. It is a song, ostensibly. It has words with a certain rhythm in a certain structure, there’s certainly no denying that… But yeah, put me on the list of people who did not care for this challenge. Animal songs. I feel like they’ve either all been done or else aren’t worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 Miss 503 has been in full force today. Looking forward to reading all of your submissions!

Mine will most likely be posted at least 24 hours from now, either in one or two batches depending on if I have enough time to read all of your lovely works in one sitting.

Tell us a little about yourself (preferred name, pronouns, etc.) Hunter (He/Him), from Texas but live in New York. 2. What is your previous experience with songwriting? I did Platinum Hit 7, 8, and an all too brief stint in 11! 3. Who are your favourite artists, songwriters, and/or both? Kacey Musgraves, Ellie Goulding, Carly Rae, Florence Welch, Sara Bareilles, Taylor Swift, St. Vincent, and Mariah all come to mind... women! 4. What are your favourite lyrics, and the best written songs in your opinion? Off the top of my head: Slow Burn by Kacey, Bright Lights and Cityscapes by Sara Bareilles, Blinding by Florence + the Machine, No Drug Like Me by Carly... so many more I'm forgetting 5. What are some of your main sources of creative inspiration? Photography and visual art honestly, I'm notorious, for better or worse, for using a lot of imagery in my writing Photoshop art is my main form of expression, until this week I hadn't written since early 2019 6.
