Oh. Looks like teen suicide lament it is :-/

...and here I thought we were finally getting around to doing that Keith Richards coverfight...

Not sure I can build a tribute to something I know almost nothing about...

Both my ideas are sad so far

I'd like to challenge myself to imitate Taylor Swoft with something vacuous and generic with this one but alas, I am so serious.

Should be in this week, just realized the songs aren't due Tuesday, they're due Thursday. The trombone section isn't bringing the rawk like they're supposed to, but I've got some time to sort that out...

That sounds fun. Unfortunately, I also think I suffer from the same malady. I think my entry for "Good Faith" was about as rollicking as I get, and that was a death 'n roll indictment of election day. Super cheery, eh?

Barring catastrophe, I'm in this round, too - three in a row! So far it's an emo-tinged blues tune; probably more my songwriting wheelhouse than the last two metal-ish entries. Not the cheeriest of topics, as you'll likely see.

Yeah I think I'm going with my first idea: youth suicide. It was either that or a parental hope-saturated lament of having a disabled child. You can blame Paco for giving my decision the nudge that way

also it's a lot more soulful, which challenges my playing... The latter idea felt like a folk-lullaby-cop-out. (Take the hard road, PJ!)

Though now that I listen to it, it's got potential. Still, Death it is. Any takers for the folk hope train collab tho? It could use some more lyrics

I would like to hook a 27 year old me up to the current 35 year old version. Anyone doing anything like that?

I took a break from Song Fight to have a baby and stuff, but I am back in this round!

PepperJane · Post by **PepperJane** » Tue Sep 20, 2016 8:24 pm

Cool Micah! I was thinking about some accordion some time

... Hmm I wonder what your song will be about :-p Congratulations

MicahSommer · Post by **MicahSommer** » Tue Sep 20, 2016 8:34 pm

Yes, Saltwinter Waltz must ride again!

And in fact, my song this round is snotty and mean-spirited and not at all befitting a young father still basking in the miracle of new life.

In. I ended up tossing out the first music setting and just kept the lyric. I think I'm happy with this one!

In, albeit at the wire. Vocals sounded better through the cans when initially singing them, had to spend considerable time re-tracking them today. A first for me: KEYBOARDS! Yippie! I also re-graduated myself to my Tascam 488 for this one. Golly, I love that machine.

Kraken Lives is in.

I've been listening to the Minutemen, Django has been listening to Slayer, you have been warned.

I'm intrigued.

I've been listening to a lot of Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger.

Ok I'm in with a quickie.

Two Tuesdays during this fight period means BSS is in with TWO songs. Ken couldn't make it for the second Tuesday so I drummed and mixed and glennny played all the guitars. Also it's a double dose of martyr vocals. Enjoy!

that's some dark and subversive stuff. "close your eyes and think of something happy"................SICK!

Hooray two BSS entries!

Some method acting may have come into play for me (insert excuses here) but to His Master's discression, a very raw roadside one-take recording complete with bodged up then corrected ending and a passing car, which for litrality I could not bear to remove... 14 hours late.
