where can we judges get the lyrics?

For Blueline's lyrics - and chords! - click on the "lyrics" link on the soundclick player. I'm waiting for Raystrack to send me his lyrics - when he does, I'll put them with the song on soundclick.

:D :D :D

Just heard Raystrack's tune. One word. Awsome. You have a great voice!
Love the guitar playing as well. Excelent work.
You did a great job with the melody. Good stuff man!

Thanks for the comments - in fact the voice is poor, especially on the cringeworthy "bluff that I was cool" - a mistake that will not be repeated in any future proper recording. I just flicked on a Sony Minidisc and recorded it in one shot with the little stereo mike that comes with it.

Sound On Sound magazine are doing an article on acoustically treating my little spare room, so future results should be better

Vic I sent you the lyrics first by PM but I'll send again. Thanks

Hey Blueline - I like your song, especially the lyrics: and among them are ideas for more songs e.g. "And OHHHHHHHHH, How will I define myself? " That makes me ponder, when someone says "tell me a bit about yourself", what comes first - interests, job title, marital status, geographic ancestry? Who / what am I first and foremost? - a question that has led to many a mid-life crisis. :)

Chefie always comes up with some great lines - he's one of the first names I look for in the SSG, I always look forward to hearing his songs. HOWEVER - as a judge, I'm bound to remain impartial, so I'm not going to listen to any songs until all the entries are in.

:D :D :D

"The Mind Game"

I like it a lot and wonder if Step Outside is a better title given it repeats in the chorus.

yeah i thought about something like that but its a bit boring isnt it :S
i usually make the names of my songs something to do with what the song is about or the idea of the song, not a line from it. much more creative that way, though bit harder to remember the songs names. since the songs about mental attitude towards life i called it 'the mind game' it also gives a bit of insight into what the song is about that you mighnt be able to get through the lyrics.
