Songcontest #117 — Narrative

#1

Post by TheLordOfAwesome »

Welcome to the 117th SOTF Song Contest!

Today's theme is:


Narrative

Image
Players must submit a song that that has lyrics that have a narrative in their lyrics! So be sure your song submission tells the listener a story of some kind!

So yeah, that's that. Here come the rules.
[+] da rules
No reality show/competition covers.
Please don't use anything we've used in a prior songtest (Master Songtest Sheet here).
Be nice about the songs, even if you don't like them. This isn't the actual Eurovision, the people submitting these songs are people too, not a conglomerate of hairstylists/lyricists/producers, people have feelings..

Songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. If you're going to be absent at any point during the song contest (so basically over the next 2 weeks or so), let me know and I'll place you appropriately.
Listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.
If your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be disqualified. If your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points. If you're doing a public vote in chat, tag me in Discord so that I can find them.

Public votes will all count as half-votes.

The top songs will move on to the final; the number of top songs depends on the number of contestants. Repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.
The winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.
Each semifinal and the final will last for roughly three days, depending on turnout. We just had first rolls, so if people would like a round extension because of the need to kill our kids, let me know via any means and I'll consider/probably implement it.
Sign-ups will take place over the next few days, until Feburary 6th at 11PM PST. You can send me songs through either DIscord or board PM.

1. TLoA (Me!)

I'm a poet, but let's try writing a narrative.
