I'll admit to being confused by what you wanted with this challenge, and I think it's resulted in a confused lyric that only barely makes sense to me, and also requires people to remember my first two songs, which I realise is asking a lot when there's 24 others in the competition. So I'm hoping tha...

Liner notes Had to get this one written and recorded quickly last night due to other commitments this week, I think it's turned out okay. It's about a malevolent looking stain I saw on a seat on the Glasgow Subway a couple years back, and about how paranoid I feel using the subway at the moment duri...

I remembered this article about the Myanmar jade trade I read a while back. I reread it, and then I read some more articles, and then I watched a documentary, and then I wrote this song. Sorry to get all serious :( Liner notes: I find repetition easy, the "gradual emphasis" part of the cha...

Well after last week I was pretty certain the writing was on the wall for me even before I saw this week's challenge was to soundtrack my anathema. A part of me hoped I might stand out among the earnest attempts at bond themes if I refused to play ball on the soundalike aspect of the challenge, and ...

The Lowest Bitter - Carte Blanche Liner Notes I don't really like James Bond. Let me rephrase that; I despise James Bond and everything that he stands for. This song is my attempt to write a theme befitting the obnoxious prick. This challenge leaves a lot open to interpretation. I decided it wasn't...

Rear Window - The Lowest Bitter featuring Balance Lost Liner Notes: So this song is about nostalgia. I was thinking about how much of our culture is now geared towards remakes and reissues and reunion tours of bands playing their old records in full, and what that says about us and our relationship...

Challenge: the two instruments are a guitar and the ableton midi instrument "Violin Section Legato.adg". The guitar sounds weird I'm aware, the pick hitting the strings was coming through really loud on every strum in my very bad guitar recording set up, so I ended up chopping the front o...

okay so I'm gonna put liner notes in with my lyric, as there's a lot of very personal, hyperspecific lyrics here. Hopefully the song can be enjoyed without any liner notes, but I want to give some context. To distinguish between the two, my lyrics are in bold, the footnotes are under each verse/chor...

ok so I hope to write full reviews further down the line but this round is a little too much for me to handle. Thanks Vom for taking the time to write over 40 reviews as well as judging. I did want to pick out a few personal favourites though. I'm not paying attention to the challenge that much tbh,...

Okay a little about mine. I had a verse and pre-chorus and was gonna come back and do a chorus, and then I downloaded the orchestral instruments pack for ableton, and got carried away, and before I knew it I had arranged a string section break instead of writing a chorus and only had a day left to d...

this is a song about being bored and anxious and trying to keep occupied in lockdown, and also feeling guilty for being so self-obsessed in a global pandemic, sipping coffee and ignoring the outside world like the meme dog. The Lowest Bitter - This Is Fine oh I'm okay I'm not okay I'm not okay no I'...

Hey! This is a song about lockdown anxiety and trying not to freak out. Propranolol is my anti-anxiety medication. Better Than Everything - The Lowest Bitter [ so let’s practice a deep breathing, focused meditation now. to start, most patients find it helpful to sit with the feet firmly on the groun...

ShoehornTC - Really solid mix, especially like the multitracked guitar strumming in this, it sounds really nice. Like the vocal in the chorus, that extra harmony layer is lovely. Maybe a little too long, but I'm splitting hairs - I enjoyed this. VOTE Caravan Ray - I like all the vocal manipulation a...

This song is about going on instagram and seeing gay guys posing topless with facemasks on, or with soap dripping down their bodies, to both raise awareness of coronavirus and also promote their onlyfans accounts at the same time. I'm not judging, there's a whole load of horny people on lockdown so ...

Wooo! Thanks for the nice comments and reviews everyone, good week all round. Enjoyed the podcast a lot, feels bizarre to hear The Lowest Bitter and The Spinto Band mentioned in the same breath. They’re actually how I first heard of Song Fight over a decade ago, when I came here and downloaded all t...

In! Knew I wasn't gonna be able to find time to record vocals for this one so I've tried something a bit different and done an instrumental, ambient/electronic sorta thing.

My third Songfight! Now I have a better idea of the reviewing style here (much more critical than the big love-in I'm used to over at FAWM) I've been a bit more critical in my reviews. Hopefully nothing too harsh here, sorry for any offence. Some really good songs! Before reviewing everyone else, so...

Does songfight.org still have that bug where voting for either one of those two songs will count as a vote for both? I was going to say, if both songs are under the exact same name in the poll is the website sophisticated enough to keep them separate or will votes for both songs get mashed together?

Congratulations Balance Lost! Didn't get a chance to participate in or review this one unfortunately, but I did listen and yours was probably my favourite

Busy week! Just to check, there are two songs here listed to The John Benjamin Band, has he submitted two different songs or has someone else’s submission been mislabelled? And if it’s the former is there any way to subtitle the two different songs so there’s no confusion over which one of the JBB s...

This is a song about how I find it difficult to sleep (and I actually mean sleep) with other people, and am just generally quite bad at being cuddly and fuzzy and relationshippy. Who's gonna stay the night with me? It's a hostelry of hostility After you fuck me, I'll just push you to the far side of...

Hey, I’ve been on holiday so not had a chance to listen and review yet, will try to tonight. Just a little info about my song; as I posted in the pre-fight thread, after the (warranted) criticism of my vocals for Bend The Knee I spent two hours working on better vocal takes for Hope Against Hope, pr...
