Strike Me Down The Mellfire Trifecta It came in powder in a vial Took your boy and your husband Tried to tempt you for a while Couldn’t get you in its grasp People reached out to help City folk with good intentions You couldn’t feel the heat within So opposed to making friends Your house was getting...

In as well - optional challenge unmet!!

Vanishing Twin – The Mellfire Trifecta I like conspiracy theories Chipping at the truth Helps me hook my believers The otherwise aloof Sometimes it’s too easy To usher new ones in With so many disheartened The fellowship of the dim Join me up at the mic You are with me Equal partners No more vanishi...

In with a harder edged tune.

Lightning Rod mellfire (with thanks to wikipedia's Roy Sullivan page) Roy was born in East Virginia Grew up in Greene County At 24 a real park ranger Shenandoah was his favorite place in the world Squint a bit and he was Gene Hackman With a badge and a uniform How was he to know black magic Would ma...

I submitted late, right when the songs were being posted. It will appear. My co-writer this week was Wikipedia - had to confirm some facts about the subject of my entry.

WreckDoM: There is an originality of sound and approach here that's appealing, although I feel the song kind of gets slightly repetitive by the end. My toes tapped at times. The shambly, rambly, what-the-hell attitude of the singing (which matches the lyrical content) makes sense but ultimately the ...

Brace Yourself The Mellfire Trifecta Scratch that out Better cut that line Soften your stance This is not the time To show your cards State your goals Present a plan It’s better no one knows But if they do Plant some doubt Straddle every issue Til it’s all played out Check that wind Which way’s it b...

The Trifecta is in with a mellow political tune.

If You Believe It By The Mellfire Trifecta When was it decided that I would never have a vote? I read about it in that cryptic letter that you wrote And it feels like Our plans were just a house of cards disguised as real life No more real than all the clues We don’t collect anymore Like the wedding...

The Trifecta is in with an as-funky-as-we’re-gonna-get entry.

The Magnetic Letters – I like the mood you set and the bass and piano playing really stand out for me here. It swings. A little lounge-lizardy. I wish for a melody that is a bit more distinctive (hooky) but love the lyrics. This is really good work. Lichen Throat – It’s a great start. It’s so good i...

As a whole this comes off as kind of mechanical but sloppy at the same time which isn't quite working for me. The whistling is well done. That's what she said.... :lol: But yes, this was rushed because I had decided not to submit this week, but then had an idea in the morning and put everything tog...

The Weight of My Heart mellfire You can’t get out of bed Or get me off your mind You’ve got a lot on your plate I take up all of your time I never answer you back Don’t mind when we’re apart You keep hanging on because you think That’s the way to my heart Are we stuck in here after all these years i...

I had a day off and woke up with a melody in my head. Got 'er done in a day. I'm in.

The Mellfire Trifecta : When I listen to the drums they seem a bit too simple, but if I listen to the dang song (like I'm supposed to) they work well. Why is that? At any rate, I really like the vocals on this song. The guitar part seems just slightly... actually I think it's the tone/lack of clari...

In for this one.

Garage Sale The Mellfire Trifecta You’ll string me along for awhile I’ll try to keep up, and keep up appearances But in the end, it will not matter What this game is, or how it’s played Played, under the moonlight Played, out with our friends Played, like an old song that has to end What we have bui...

Madame Breathehard - Interesting vibe but I was hoping for some vocals to kick in at some point. Robyn Mackenzie - I like the deep synth and the way you added extra reverb and altered your vocal delivery to match works. Also enjoyed your subtle high harmony and the ending is good. What is that percu...

Friendship Bracelet The Mellfire Trifecta Those were the days when we ignored our watches Calendars too, what was the use? Back in high school we were just marching forward What was to come was looking so good Our friend started up a punk band But we all hated the name “Friendship Bracelet”? oh my G...

I'm back in for this one with another retro-flavoured pop number. I bought myself an old 60s Harmony semi recently which I can't put in down and I think it's vibes are somehow rubbing off into my songwriting. My unintentional chromatic walkdown is three notes - does that count? I can top that with ...

mellfire : I like the rhythm and this was cool the first time through. Maybe a bit of quick wear out for me, though, on subsequent listens. Thanks. Bit of a venture outside my comfort zone. Totally novelty song though. Glad you liked the rhythm. I had too many words this time and I didn’t want the ...
