GotSkill: This reminds me of a song I wrote about a year and a half ago, and I imagine myself to be a good songwriter, so I like it. I would work a little more on your emotional draw, but there’s really nothing to criticize here. It fits Cher perfectly as well. Hugamari: I absolutely adored "Love is the truth/I’ve found living proof" as a line! It's so powerful to think that one person could be all you need to believe in the power of love. I also thought your meter was on point!
Does it fit the album: I can imagine Cher on the chorus, definitely! lovesong: Haven’t heard this album, but I listened to a few songs to get a feel for it. I like the concise nature of this song (and as an aside I like that a lot of people went with a more concise approach). You are really great at having tight meter/structure, it helps the reader nicely and makes your songs feel more rhythmic and natural. The chorus was very Cher from what I gather and overall it had a cool feel to it. Meowster: No comments this week Sam: I can hear this being sung by Cher over a thumping dance beat. I’ll be honest and say I haven’t listened to much Cher at all, but I listened to The Music’s No Good Without You and I can see this song fitting into an album with a similar sound, it’s like an opposition to that in a way because she’s with him now. The lyrics are great which is what people need to keep in mind when writing a dance bop, not to sacrifice the lyrical quality. Finding living proof of love being the truth is perhaps an obvious way to use the title, but it works really well so there’s not much of a complaint there at all.
Did it fit the challenge?
As I said, I haven’t listened to much Cher, but what I have heard I can see this fitting in with those types of dance songs, so I think you’ve done well if you can have that impression on someone who isn’t familiar with the artist
Thank you for your critiques! I'm glad I could write a lyrically sound dance bop.
Death at least half of the judging panel not knowing the album, though.
