Reveal hidden contents Our year is golden, like the last of the raindrops Softened and warming up on the leaf from a maple This year will be ours, like the song I hummed for you While you fell asleep, docile, tender in my arms But i hear new life calling I can’t sleep for long As the gradient pushes us into the orange of rebirth I hold my head up like the dew could fall Like sweat from my nose All the water rushes down And the liquid proves it’s our time to shine I see the glow of harbingers reflecting in your eyes The nights are cool, the dawns are crisp The sun won’t cease to rise But as I rest my hands so gently upon your shoulders All our smile lines won’t fade, in fact they’ll glow older But i feel the warmth of new life creeping in I won’t sleep too long The cold dissipates, the gradient pushes on I hold my head up like the mote staying suspended Like the water rushes back and forth And the liquid proves it’s our time to shine And i hear babies cry Mountains curl Lovers die Mothers dream Fathers dream People calm as the gradient runs on Crashes smoothen Edges dull Earth, it calms, as the gradient lives on Live on, dream on, smoothen Peaceful, docile, open-minded, gossamer And hope cascades like the vagrants tumble Down hills, down the sides on a riverbank Grabbing on for dear life, as the river never falters I watch them as I walk to work in this new year Every morning, they seem to live freely And yet I cannot imagine the pain they endure My life is becoming a loop Your life beckons to me I want to be in your arms forever For this is our year to shine The warmth of the new life is shimmering Scaling the trenches The cold dissipates and the gradient flourishes on And I can be strong And you can be strong And the vagrants can learn that from us And we can help them when we are able Mountains curl Lovers soar Amazing song, another smash in your discography would love to hear parts of it used in a recording omg

Kylie Jenner Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Okay so it’s like 2:30am and I have work at 9 so idk why I stayed up doing this but the muse was strong af so here’s what would’ve been my song for round one https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fj5q61vK1-6dF5ZmcXySjPwdSN711KcdjfBl5bYL-3c/edit

A really great interpretation of the round theme. I think this is my favourite song you’ve written for Golden Hit

ATRL Moderator Element Posted January 30, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 30, 2023 here are my lyrics from this round!! i am really proud of this one tbh. @fountain thank you for the review and for highlighting the titular line... because i really am obsessed with how simple yet striking it is the antonym verse 1 they pour red wine into a grave, so former lives can misbehave fighting urges thought depraved, the new era surmised to save with contract signed on pristine page, ambition unlatches the cage yet once they feel an anguished crave, all commitment’s promptly waived verse 2 they flood the gym for three weeks straight, to make their past evaporate feigned portrayals of blank slate, until old habits reacquaint so watch the crowd disintegrate, when outcomes don’t reciprocate the flesh cannot impersonate, a vision so immediate chorus once bursting with adrenaline, the barren mind stops flowering neither vodka nor of gin, the only drought was discipline they’ll run for miles but old ways always win and those who saw a better them, now turn to face the antonym verse 3 they close their eyes and grit their jaws, to stand their digital withdrawal but inhibitions start to thaw, as sunlight shows their hidden flaws one by one they re-install, to let opinions churn and gnaw bodies without thoughts to call, and thoughts without bodies to crawl chorus once bursting with adrenaline, the barren mind stops flowering neither vodka nor of gin, the only drought was discipline they’ll run for miles but old ways always win and those who saw a better them, now turn to face the antonym and those who saw a better them now turn to face the antonym

Perfectly summed up the message of the song and the faults that come with New Year’s expectations, in such a catchy and frank lyric! We’re all human after all and when we put such pressure on ourselves we’re kinda bound to fail, and you exemplified that brilliantly.
worldwide angel Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 5 hours ago, fountain said: At #10 with a score of 7.58… @worldwide angel with “into fruition”! What a lovely song, and I’m so glad to see it make it into the top 10! Frankly I would’ve put it even higher, but regardless this is such a great debut for this season and I hope you are proud of having written such an ethereal and beautifully optimistic song! I know you’re going to deliver amazing entries this season and I’m looking forward to reading each of them. thank you thank you thank you

Fun fact: it was originally the season opener, but we had a schedule shuffle upon deciding to do the New Year's challenge, which was ironically the last challenge we decided upon for the season! Depending on how this round goes, it might become a recurring challenge... we'll just have to wait and see! 6 hours ago, fountain said: Round 1: New Year’s Challenge Ranking & Scores #1 @JoeAg - “As the Gradient of the Sun Brings Us Closer to Epiphany” - 9.43 #2 @TruGemini - “Dreams Come True” - 9.33 #3 @Element - “the antonym” - 9.17 #4 @8thPrince - “New Year, New Me” - 8.68 #5 @Legend E - “Peace” - 8.07 #6 @DatChickDoe - “There’s No Going Back” - 8 #7 @Euterpe - “Anew” / @Invisibility - “For the Dearly Departed” / @Remmy - “Second Chance” - 7.75 #10 @worldwide angel - “into fruition” - 7.58 #11 @mxtthewdelrey - “Not again” - 7.55 #12 @XO_Life - “Agathist” - 7.27 #13 @Julia Fox - “Free (World’s Prettiest B*tch) - 6.9 #14 @beatinglikeadrum - “The beginning.” - 6.68 Congratulations everyone! These scores had a higher maximum and higher minimum score than both Golden Hit Season 1 and 2, so please don't be too disheartened if you were in the lower half of the scores, because nobody flopped! Extra special congratulations to JoeAg, TruGemini, and Element who will be getting the first hit tokens of the season shortly. Another fun fact: this is actually the second three-way tie in GH history, the first being between lex, Jessie, and Rob in Round 2 of the original Golden Hit: Season 1. 6 hours ago, mxtthewdelrey said: my first entry each season's score: Platinum Hit 9: 4.13 Diamond Hit: 3.25 Platinum Hit 10.5: 2.925 Platinum Hit 11: 5.5 Golden Hit 1: 6.167 Golden Hit 3: 7.55 the decline and then rise I think we can all say looking back Platinum Hit was certainly one of the tournaments of all time. These scores are rarely justifiable, and for what it's worth my personal score for you this round was higher than all of them. 4 hours ago, Kylie Jenner said: Okay so it’s like 2:30am and I have work at 9 so idk why I stayed up doing this but the muse was strong af so here’s what would’ve been my song for round one https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fj5q61vK1-6dF5ZmcXySjPwdSN711KcdjfBl5bYL-3c/edit OK come through with the last minute bop. It's still January, after all! I don't know about the others, but I'm more than happy to give you a fair critique and score still, if you're interested?
