Tymps.
I still remember when you high-key dragged my game when it first started The memories!
It's been so nice and refreshing to have your indie taste for each and everyone round, it really
brought something unique to the table but the decision has been made that you're not good enough.
JK You rock. Thanks so much for playing and stick around ugly!!!
More updates / next round / other stuff coming in a few days. I'm going through hell
So excited to roll out the final preliminary round... lots and lots of twists coming up.
Let's just say that this round (prior to the finale) will operate much, much differently than any other round thus far.
A T R L ' s H O L Y T R I N I T Y Highlights: Round Ten
holyground Lana Del Rey ▲ Once Upon a Dream Lorde ▲ Everybody Wants to Rule the World Bastille ▲ Of the Night
Leader of the pack this round was holyground, with his particularly unique trinity, consistent
of covers... but not just ANY covers - dark ones! Each song takes an upbeat, happy classic and cloaks it
with a negative, nightmarish twist. "Once Upon a Dream", Disney classic, is twisted by Lana Del Rey into
a vortex of blackness - smoke and mirrors. Lorde's cover of 80s feel-good jam "Everybody Wants to Rule
the World" turns the song into a cloudy land of uncertainty. Lastly is the "Of the Night", creatively sampling
a 90s dance hit into something, well, dark. Perhaps any song can have a more shadowy counterpart.

holyground's "dark" trinity
"Dark" can mean anything, from the dark that comes with sadness to the frightening element of the dark. For me, darkness is something that really makes me tremble. Things aren't what they seem to be. It's just eerie, haunting and scary. So for my trinity, I'll be using three cover songs. However, the artists gives a malicious twist to each of these seemingly happy songs, and turn them into something dark.
Once Upon a Dream
Lana Del Rey "but if i know you, i know what you'll do"
To introduce the trinity, we have Lana's eerie vocals to start us off. The way Sleeping Beauty sang this was just so innocent and full of life and love, but Lana just twists every word to what it's not supposed to be. Now that you read the lyrics again, don't you think it's something the frightening Maleficient would say too?
Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Lorde "welcome to your life, there's no turning back, even while we sleep, we will find you"
Tears For Fears probably meant this song to be a triumphant song about power. Lorde flips it and now it becomes the haunting reminder of the Capitol's harsh and brutal authoritarian regime over the people in The Hunger Games.
Of the Night
Bastille "this is the rhythm of the night, the night"
I guess Bastille didn't really have any intention to make this a dark song, but the instrumentation is totally opposite from the original dance bops Rhythm of the Night and Rhythm of the Dancer. But doesn't it make you think, when it goes "this is the rhythm of the night", what rhythm is it exactly?
TheSeenScene Nelly Furtado ▲ All Good Things (Come To An End) Ke$ha ▲ Blow (Deconstructed Mix) Sia ▲ I'm In Here
Not shying away from a variety of female vocalists, TheSeenScene is back in the Golden Ranks
with a surprisingly bright-yet-dark trinity. Starting out with the midtempo break-up ballad from miss Furtado,
this shows that even a moderately happy-seeming song with dark subject matter can change it all.
Next is the acoustic mix of Kesha's "Blow", a dance anthem reinvented into a somber lullaby, ending
with the songwriter princess Sia and her heart-wrenching ballad, "I'm In Here", a subtle cry for help
and the epitome of any dark song. This trinity captures feelings of hopelessness in a unique way.

Kyle. PJ Harvey ▲ Down by the Water Madonna ▲ Mer Girl Ellie Goulding ▲ Dead in the Water
Second week in the Golden Trinity (and consecutive, at that), Kyle. takes an interesting and rather
aquatic approach to darkness with his water-themed trinity, an accurate symbol of fear, unknowing
and mystery. Featuring a song about longing, a song about trauma and a song about a shattered
relationship, this trinity covers three bases of darkness via a creative theme.
It was this upcoming round last season that Legend E (e437) was brought back from the dead by
the Golden Trinity, who then sacrificed Anna (nineteen) in his favor. What twists will be in store next round?
lemme find out who's joining me in the eliminated crew.
The memories!
You rock. Thanks so much for playing and stick around ugly!!!
