So what likes Arcade Fire and Cee Lo Green but not Kelly Clarkson? Movie soundtracks (with original songs)!
CHALLENGE #6 THE SOUNDTRACK CHALLENGE
This challenge is a bit different from the similarly named challenge from Season 6. For this challenge, you will write a song for a particular movie.
Your song shouldn't just capture the mood of the movie, but it should be able to reference and build off of the movie itself in a lyrical form. The connection between the song and movie should be apparent in this case.
You may choose from the following movies. Google is your friend!
THE HUNGER GAMES (2012)
AVATAR (2009)
PACIFIC RIM (2013)
INSIDE OUT (2015)
HARRY POTTER (2001)
TITANIC (1996)
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2014)
BREAKFAST CLUB (1985)
METROPOLIS (1927)

I appreciate the variety here, but there isn't really anything that jumped off the page at me.
It's funny because I was thinking last week about what challenges I'd make if I was hosting, and movie-inspired songs was the only thing that I came up with. My list of options was a lot better, though!
