Re: I set my chair by the road to watch (A Grand Parade prefight)
I’m in with a song that some may suspect pre-dates this fight, but I just want to put out there that it is indeed just as new as can be. As evidenced, perhaps, by how lo-fi and undeveloped it is. I have ideas for its future, but you’re getting a barebones version for now. Thanks to all who work hard...

Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)
Thanks! I actually ended up finding that page myself about ten minutes after posting the question on here. As for pricing, I’m pretty sure the royalties I earn will be so incalculably low that the five percent will never be noticeable. All the same, I may look into it for future releases! How long d...

Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)
How long does a release stay “In Review” for? I submitted something several days ago. I didn’t expect it to take so long to make it through. Thanks man! Getting onto Spotify was way easier than I anticipated. I did a bunch of research on the different distributors out there, and ended up going with ...

Got a new EP out called Float Day. It includes three songs from Song Fight, two SpinTunes numbers, and two new tracks. Check it out if you’re interested.

My father has performed John Denver's "Perhaps Love" at 4 family weddings over the last few decades. FireBear got married in August and I recorded a cover duet version with my dad to play at the wedding. I also couldn't help but take the time to create "the version no one asked for&q...

Re: Hanky Code wants to cover your song
Thanks so much for the cover! The vocal delivery here is really nice, and I like what you’ve done with those synths. Sounds really great overall. But… you said this is covered by HPH here?? The guy who produces my songs is working up a full version of this song, too, for an upcoming EP. It will be i...

Re: SpinTunes 17 Round 1 RESULTS
Falling one place short was a real gut-punch, but this excerpt from the rules gives me some heart. All we need to do now is hope someone isn't able to put together the next challenge (oh, and make a better song). As to which shadows are re-instated, that's at the judges' discretion. However, signif...

Re: Hanky Code wants to cover your song
I only have three songfight submissions, so I guess I just barely qualify:
How It Comes Apart
Another Mystery Solved
A 9/11 Every Day
Thanks!

Re: Not front page news (A 9/11 Every Day prefight)
I got a song in. It's my least favorite I've done so far, but I did all the arranging and layering and stuff myself, so I guess that feels good. SunLite normally does all that for me. He still mixed and mastered and cleaned up a few bits.

Re: Hello World
Glad to see you! I don’t know much about production, either, so I mostly do lo-fi stuff, but I’m trying to go out on a limb in the next fight by adding more elements. We will see how it goes. Looking forward to submissions from both BB and FireBear.

Re: Scooby Snacks for (Another Mystery Solved reviews)
Giraffes for Wings : This is a fun arrangement. I mean, guitar, stomps and vocal isn't the most adventurous arrangement. But for songfight I could see you getting a bit of look down the nose (although that maybe was more prevalent a few years back.) I liked it though. Unfortunately, I have no produ...

Re: Scooby Snacks for (Another Mystery Solved reviews)
For most artists, I am just pointing out my personal highlight from your song. If you’re new, and I didn’t say welcome, I’m sorry. I’m fairly new myself, and I just barely know who the regulars are at this point. Welcome! add – Soothing backing synths, vocal melody in the verses. Brother Baker – Tha...

Re: The Hellos
I checked out the tribute album; I liked your contributions a lot. They weren’t MF songs that I particularly remembered, which makes me think I should revisit his catalog to see what else I’ve passed over.

That is accurate. Big Magnetic Fields fan, at least up to "I" - the albums after that are weirdly missing... something, for me. But anyway, welcome! I haven't really been listening or taking part lately but looking forward to hearing your contributions when I can pull myself out of this r...

I entered my first SF about a month ago, but I only just discovered this thread. I guess I will put a basic intro here if anyone is interested. I find a lot of joy in writing my little songs. Mostly I just crank out chuggy or bouncy acoustic guitar stuff, but sometimes I write on ukulele, and more r...

Re: How did you find out about Song Fight?
I listened to Jonathan Mann’s podcast “As It Happens”, which chronicles his songwriting process. For one of the episodes, he composed a SF entry. By the by, Mann has written a song every day since 2009, so I recommend him as someone to follow for inspiration.

I’m in with a song that reflects my roots: writing third-rate boombox-era Mountain Goats songs. It’s just me, a guitar, and a desk. Credit to my students for the subject matter.

Re: Aarararrrargh! (Screaming Into the Void reviews)
Tomdg – How do you say Tomdg? The long chains of lyrics are pretty interesting. The lyrics themselves could do, I think, with more specificity. Almost every noun in there is abstract: dream, news, soul, nightmare, fears, terror, heart, pain, disbelief, hate, prejudice, lust, power, curse, state, po...
