fountain Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Wait #8 is really good a lot better than I expected
SaintWest Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 it is ethically wrong to sexually desire someone who has the same reproductive organs as you because you cannot reproduce and if you do then your children will also be gay.

Jackson Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ P H A S E 2 ROUND 6 : STORY TIME ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I already know some of y'all heaux are going to to complain about this one, but it'll be a slay in the end. As you may have noticed, I and some of the other judges this season have been constantly pointing out your narrative skills and themes throughout your songs. This week, instead of giving you vague advice about theme, we're going to give it to you directly in the form of a short story. This week, your challenge is to write a song inspired by the short story "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang. You don't have to sum up the entire story in a song, and honestly I'd rather you don't, but find a passage or theme that speaks to you and write a song around it. For those of you like me that don't read, the story was adapted into the 2016 film Arrival. And Wikipedia is always a friend *hint*. Just like we focused on structure last week, this week we'll be really focusing in on themes and narrative elements, so make sure they're present in your song. If you prefer to write more descriptive or "in the moment" type songs, make sure your theme really shines through. WHAT IS A THEME - THE STORY - WIKIPEDIA - FIND YOUR OWN STREAMING LINK (don't want Hug to ban me) ENTRIES DUE THURSDAY AT 11:59 PM EST

Citrus Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 It'll be useful for y'all to read talent for once, god knows the judges could use the break
SaintWest Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 wow not me predicting this last night in dub.
Citrus Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Just now, Gastrodonatella said: reading a story long enough to be adapted to a 2 hour film is not equivalent to reading 200-300 word entries and writing 4 sentences about why they're terrible or good x Oh, I meant that this story is better written than any of the songs we've read so it'll be a nice palate cleanser. Thanks for clocking my poor wording!
