Songtest #68 - La Nuit

#1

Post by Skraal »

Welcome to the 68th SOTF Song Contest! Today's theme is:

Image

If you guessed that this the theme of this songtest is 19th century impressionist painters, you'd be wrong, but I commend you for your originality. The theme of this songtest concerns the time of day when the part of the Earth that you happen to be standing on is rotated such that it is no longer facing the sun, or in other words, night. The objective is to submit songs that concern an event occurring during the night, or the night itself, literally or figuratively.
[+] Obligatory Rules Spoiler

- Send in your songs via board PM or Discord

- Songs will be divided into 1-3 semifinals, probably 2, if you can't be here for the first semifinal please contact me and I will put your song in the next round!

- Listen to every song in your round and give them votes, 12 for your favourite, 10 for your next favourite, then 8 for the third, 7 for the fourth, and so until you give 1 point to your tenth favourite. Not voting will result in your song getting DQ'd! Rounds last for 3 or more days.

- You can still vote if you're not in a round, as a public vote, which counts for half the points.

- The top songs move onto the finals, with the number depending on the number of songs in a round.

- Repeat the voting process with the finals, and that's how we'll determine the ultimate winner of the tournament arc.

- Submit your songs before the first round starts, not gonna let people jump in after the first round starts, etc.

- Whoever gets the most points will get to host the next contest. If they pass, it goes to second place, then third, and so on.

- General songtest rules:
- Nothing from Eurovision, no reality show covers (other covers are fine), nothing that has been submitted before. If your song is over ten minutes people only have to listen to the first ten minutes.
- Please be nice in chat.

I'll be doing my own votes before the round starts. I'll be giving reminders about every day whenever I remember. Extensions are probably not a thing unless you suffer severe RL stuff, like health issues, or being swamped with work and only getting a chance to listen an hour or so before deadline. Or being taken away into the forest by the fair folk. Any of the above.

I reserve the right to add anything blazingly obvious that I forgot.
Signups should run for approximately three days, ending on Friday, October 2nd at 11:59 PM EST. You can send me your submissions through board pm or on discord (my discord name is Krokodil). I'm looking forward to see what you all come up with!

It was difficult to nail down exactly when the anger started. Remembering a time when it wasn't there, coiled up and waiting to strike or alive and thrashing, was growing more and more challenging. It'd been with her for so long that it no longer felt like an intruder in her mind. It felt like a part of her.
