Jackson Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ROUND 1 : PLATINUM HITS ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome, contestants old and new, to the first challenge of Platinum Hit 11! This week will feature the first of 11 new or revamped challenges. Yep, you read that right, every single challenge this season will be either something entirely new or twist on a Platinum Hit classic. For round one, I want to get everyone acquainted with our expectations. Obviously, the game's #1 goal is to help you find your own voice as a writer, but in doing so it can help to explore other songwriting styles. Each judge grades on their own criteria, but I personally look at a combination of three core elements: technique (meter, rhyming, etc), imagery (word choice, etc), and emotion. This week's challenge requires you to pick one of the following Platinum Hit classics, all songs which hit #1, and use it as inspiration for your own song. This can be taken loosely. You may choose to be inspired by titles, themes, lines, structures, etc. Ideally, I'd like to see each of you adopt something you don't normally use in your writing and experiment with it. When sending your song, please list which song you chose as inspiration, and don't forget to label the parts to your song and give it a title. Entries are due via PM to me by Wednesday, August 23rd at 11:59 PM EST. SONGS (I chose only songs which were posted publicly in a Platinum Hit thread. If you'd like your song removed, tag or PM me to let me know) @Jackson - Siren Song Nestled up tight deep in the cove A man found a wife to share the shore But as the night falls she hears the call The waves dance to her siren song Sweetly she slips away Leaving no trace, no ripple, or wave Unknowingly he slumbers on While she sings her siren song No man can resist The roll of her hips The rush of lust on her lips Making hurricanes by night Until the morning light As she cruises back to her life on shore Every man loses his pride To drift into her tide To feel her melody across their skin But suddenly they drown In a killer’s hands fall down Someday they will pay for their sins So she lifts her sails and turns her back Innocently leaves the attack She crawls in bed as her man dreams Of a fantasy girl, his own private queen Until the next night when she slips away Under moonlight she fools her prey Promises love, glory, and fame For a hopeless night in the ocean spray No man can resist The roll of her hips The rush of lust on her lips Making hurricanes by night Until the morning light As she cruises back to her life on shore Every man loses his pride To drift into her tide To feel her melody across their skin But suddenly they drown In a killer’s hands fall down Someday they will pay for their sins But secretly The man rises from his dreams And stumbles to the shore to find his love But crushed and crazed He won’t let the men escape Till the bottom of the ocean is their home Every man loses his pride To drift into her tide To feel her melody across their skin But suddenly they drown In a killer’s hands fall down That man they will pay for their sins Every man wants to hum along To drown in the depths of her siren song But even that girl gets a little lost In the harmonies of her siren song @MattyTacos -

No Sun on the Horizon I’ve drifted through space and I’ve drowned in time I’ve waited for centuries for the stars to align I’ve felt their warmth as they began to brighten I’ve imagined a life with no sun on the horizon I’ve prayed on my knees for the light of day I’ve turned to the darkness since you went away I’ve wandered alone through the constellations I’ve heard the holy truth and felt no consolation I’ve seen the whole world and I’ve watched it crumble I’ve imagined no light at the end of the tunnel I’ve prayed on my knees for the light of day I’ve turned to the darkness since you went away I’ve witnessed the unholy and the divine I’ve been to the planet where the Sun doesn’t shine I’ve found the beauty in such complete silence I’ve learned to let go and I’ve forgotten defiance I’ve prayed on my knees for the light of day I’ve turned to the darkness since you went away @ausdaniel -

[A] From the cold, white cream You drowned in your dark coffee To its sweet cloud of steam Rousing me from a lost dream Like these things, one day Memories of you will fade Yes, there will come a day Where you too will be erased Like the lingering body heat Between two hands that unfold Even that gentle warmth’s Dissipates into the cold Like your sigh hung in the air On a bitter Christmas Day Yes, there will come a day Where you too will be erased [R] If you catch the taste of tears you’ll think back to our shore The scent of tangerine perfume will fill an empty room “I can’t move on” will echo there but with each passing day You’ll be convinced there comes a day when I’m erased, too [A] Like the creases in the sheets Where someone used to sleep I trace your shape with my pinkie But you’re far beyond reach Somewhere far beyond ears Wedding bells ring and decay Yes, there will come a day Where you too will be erased Like the light space on a wall Where a portrait hung before Or the marks of furniture Pressed into the carpet floor Like these things, one day Memories of you will fade Yes, there will come a day Where you too will be erased [R] If you catch the taste of tears you’ll think back to our shore The scent of tangerine perfume will fill an empty room “I can’t move on” will echo there but with each passing day You’ll be convinced there comes a day when I’m erased, too

Pre Chorus Will you be on the other side When the sand begins to fall Will you be there in the end? Will you be there at all? Chorus You said you loved me in the summer But will you love me in the fall? There's a girl back home You say you love her But does she know you at all? Verse Two When I woke up, I saw your faint reflection Blurred by grains of sand cascading in every direction You looked back again, and I saw you hesitate But you didn't turn back then so all I could do was wait Cause even a broken clock is right twice a day And I could've waited for centuries if I had it my way I didn't know it then, but you were never coming back And it took me too long to realize I'd trapped my own self behind the glass Pre Chorus Were we ever aware of time Were we afraid it wouldn't last Did we spend all of it right? What slipped through the cracks? Chorus You said you loved me in the summer But will you love me in the fall? There's a girl back home You say you love her But does she know you at all? Bridge Were we ever aware of time? Did we think ours wouldn't pass? Did we use all of it right? What slipped through the cracks? Were we afraid of time? Were we held down by the past?

There's a girl back home You say you love her But does she know you at all?
