After listening to everything multiple times, and trying to just choose 3, I can see what a chore it must be to have to make these decisions.<br /> For instance, my first time along I usually do notes on the songs and rate stuff from 1-5, with fives for the best songs. WAY too many fives here! OK, go through again and take more notes...add "really" between "I" and "like this one". Sigh. Still too many great ones! Added underlines...exclaimation points...etc etc. Finally got it down to 3 but it sure wasn't easy! Thanks for the great music everyone :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260501053118933495.post-59141414434497666102010-06-27T09:31:35.076-04:002010-06-27T09:31:35.076-04:00There is a great "Biography of a Song" t...There is a great "Biography of a Song" type posting by "The Offhand Band" for the song "Step Back Swooperman" at http://theoffhandband.com/2010/06/step-back-swooperman/<br /><br />Just click on the "Story" tab to the song.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673189030644074151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260501053118933495.post-44315692896060776432010-06-26T10:09:40.399-04:002010-06-26T10:09:40.399-04:00Darn auto spelling correction

As i completed it, something about it felt a little off, so i quickly recorded a solo version as well. I deliberated for awhile on which to send. Those interested in the solo version can hear it at<br /><br />Http://www.rossdurandmusic.com/downturn.mp3<br /><br />I think I am partial to it, and think it may represent the emotional curve a little better, as far as the internal struggle of a hero fighting death.<br /><br />I really enjoyed my first listen to everyone's songs, i will try to write reviews while I m on a plane tomorrow.Rosshttp://www.rossdurandmusic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260501053118933495.post-67992589581312706302010-06-25T21:26:05.944-04:002010-06-25T21:26:05.944-04:00Mark, you're right it is a song writing compet...Mark, you're right it is a song writing competition, but the way the song is presented (vocals, performance, production, etc...) are fair game for judges. All the judges will have different opinions about the songs, and what's MOST important. You have to just take the good & bad feedback, and not take it personal. I'm thrilled you're a part of the competition, and I'm sure the judges respect everyone who entered.Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12452313762487064094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260501053118933495.post-64086065828552932872010-06-25T21:15:47.782-04:002010-06-25T21:15:47.782-04:00I trust the judges to remember, but since I've...I trust the judges to remember, but since I've already been publicly critiqued for my vocals even after I apologized for them myself at the listening party last night, I just thought I'd express my<br />--gratitude that this is a songwriting contest and not a contest about vocals, performance, production, etc.<br />--hope that everyone who votes remembers this :)<br /><br />--Mark a.k.a.
