I'm in...but does it swing?

Well it has no percussion but I think it's got a bit of a certain jaunty sway, so I'll say yes 8-)

i just submitted the most serious Starfinger song of all time. It was difficult.

Also I just learned that "quick look" on the mac can play mp3s back at double speed, and I think this makes my song better, if anyone has any difficulty making it through the attempted goth epic at normal speed.

It does not swing either way.

I'm in with some sort of sentimental and completely fictional sap, using that old chord progression. Might be very treble-y; I was trying to counteract my chronic muddiness problem.

When I woke up this morning I was going to work. That didn't happen, but a song fight song did. Wrote, recorded and "mixed" today, submitted a couple hours late.

Lots of first takes, no punches, no edits, just faders and pans and go... fun way to spend a day!!

Hope you are all well. take care.

I finally sent in the song I wrote back on the fifth. I intended to be early. Instead, I took this evening to finish the mix. If you could hear the improvement from last night you'd thank me even if it's still not great.

I got your song but I'm getting some kind of error sending the response to it, and for a song sent in for "Madame Breathehard".
