Well, that was a bittersweet round. Everyone amounted to a good score, but no immunity… Well, this is an even bitterer round…
Arguably, one of the hardest things to do is say goodbye to someone; whether it's a friend, a family member, a pet, your classmates, a lover, etc., saying goodbye is just difficult.
Four days ago, we lost one of the greatest writers and speakers of the past, present, and future generation: Maya Angelou. On that same day, I attended a funeral for one of my dearest family members… Saying goodbye to both women on the same day hurts, but it's also good fuel for a song!
For this challenge, I want you to say goodbye to someone in your personal life; whether it's death or just them leaving, you have to say farewell to them. The person can still be in your life; I just want a song that showcases how you truly felt about them, good or bad, and how you would send them off!
Warning: This is not a challenge to say goodbye to a former part of yourself! If there is any indication that this song isn't about an actual soul outside your own, I'm gonna give you the first zero in this competition. The other judges can judge however they want, but I may encourage them to do a similar act…
I'm satisfied with my comments AND the ranking ahhh and kii I'm kinda scared to "tone" the lyrics in fear of sounding too generic or basic ngl, love this round btw
This song is dedicated to my life, my world, my heart, the only one who's never turned their back on me; My mother. She passed away one year ago and her birthday is tomorrow. I feel like this is the perfect time to vent my feelings into song.
Wherever you're going
I wanna go
Wherever you're heading
Can you let me know
I don't mind catching up
I'm on my way
Just can't take the thought of you miles away
And I know you're going somewhere to make a better life
I hope that you find it on the first try
And even though it kills me
That you have to go
I know it'll be sadder
If you never hit the road
So farewell!
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
That somebody is me
I will write to tell you what's going on
But you won't miss nothing but the same old song
If you don't mind catching up
I'll spend the day telling you stories about a land far away
But I know
And I know you're going somewhere to make a better life
I hope that you find it on the first try
And even though it kills me
That you have to go
I know it'll be sadder
If you never hit the road
So farewell!
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
Farewell
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
That somebody is me
