Let me Beyoncé a bit early since its still an hour until Sunday in my time zone
Before we start, here's a few
RULES for the game in general. Various rounds (such as round 1) may amend the rules slightly
Quote:
1.This is a report-free zone to an extent. You can be "catty" but don't push your luck (or me) too far.
2. You must, to the best of your ability, adhere to the goals of the challenge you're given. Don't write a love song if the goal was "write about a sad moment in your life"…
3. You must PM me and the two judges (GotSkill, feelslikeadream, Hugamari) simultaneously at least one verse and one hook; there is no cap but be reasonable; nobody on this panel wants to read a essay-long song!
4. Explicit language is NOT frowned upon if it is used artistically. So if you need to change a few characters to make it understood which words you used, do so so we won't have to guess.
5. Above all, have fun. This is a game where you get to do what you love and find out more about yourself. So we don't judge you, just your songs.

But now let's get straight to
ROUND 1: Hook Up
Due to the enormous demand this season, we decided to make round 1 both easier for you contestants and easier for us judges to judge. As a songwriter, often you get to cowrite songs with others. In this challenge you are given a verse by a "cowriter" (the judges) and you must create a hook/chorus off of it. You are welcome to complete the song entirely, but the judges are only required to judge your chorus, so make it count! You are welcome to choose any of the following verses, but include it in your submission so we know what you're writing to!
EDIT: There are 13 verses, choose ONE to write to. The ----- is for separation as there are 4/5 verses in each section. Also, please include a title for your song. I won't take off points this round but its important for naming and keeping track of each song.
LOVE & SEX
Turn the lights down low
Breathe you in like smoke
And kiss me down low
Down low
Let your hips let go
Touch my lips real slow
And kiss me down low
Down low
----------
With one hand on the wheel and the other in my hair
You say, “Let’s drive one more time around the block”
It’s getting dark, I’m getting close to danger
But you could drive to the moon and I wouldn’t ask you to stop
You say, “Let’s go, I’ll take you anywhere you want”
But I just wanna stay here in your passenger seat
It’s getting late, I’m getting close to asking
If you’ll leave everything behind and run away with me
-----------
Somewhere across the sea
You're lying in bed without me
With starlight in your eyes
I'm lost in the daylight
Your love echoes through my mind
Oh, what I'd do to touch your lips tonight
----------
When the sun goes down
We can finally be together
When the sun goes down
You can carry me away
When the moon rises
We’ll feel our way through the darkness
When the sun comes up
We'll wake from this dream
When the sun comes up
We can say goodbye
But when the moon rises
We'll feel our way back into the shadows
----------
I just wanna be with you all day long
Underneath the summer sun where nothing's wrong
Turn up the radio, windows down
This song's way better with you around
Let's have fun again
Remember this time and how it ends
Kisses under fireworks with all out friends
Let's go, and I remember
HEARTBREAK & DARKNESS
I held onto something that was never there
If love is just a game, then it isn’t fair
Delusion made me blind, but I didn’t care
I see that I was wrong, and now I’m aware
I clutched to a facade for my dear, dear life
I took solace inside of a sweet, sweet lie
Delusion made me blind; didn’t even try
But now that I know, it’s always on my mind
---------
You locked me up
Pinned me down
And left me blazing in a ghost town
But I don't fight
As the flames consume
Flickering their vengeance across my tomb
---------
When you're with me
Its like you're all alone
Can't hear a thing
You knock but nobody's home
Black light in my eyes
Yeah, you turned me to stone
With an iron heart
Buried deep in the unknown
The tables are turning
This time I'm taking the lead
A new power's rising
Its glory, its all that I need
----------------
Was drifting on a sea of euphoria
Until I saw the sun setting from the coast
Now I don’t mind the sting of salt water
Just tell me I’m the one you’ll miss the most
Was floating in the air you left behind
Living in the spaces your body used to fill
Now I found out how to breathe underwater
And learned to swallow such a bitter pill
INSPIRATIONAL & OTHERS
Starry nights
Far off dazzling bright lights
Shimmer on the countryside
Dull and lifeless on my eyes
I stare off at city skies
Young and vibrant, full of life
I sit her on this heavy night
Waiting for my flight
-------------
There's a spark in the hearts of this generation
We're fed up, we won't take any of this well mannered ****
Speakers up, crank that bass, play the anthem of revolution
We'll take the crown and rule the world soon
---------------
What would you do if you knew you can fly?
What would you do if you knew you can't die?
Would you say everything that you couldn't before?
Every night, every day you would soar
I would climb to the top of the mountain peak
I would sing, I would swim, but I'd never grow weak
Tell me why should I stop when I'm up in the clouds?
Open up and live life out loud
----------------
Feel the beat of a thousand drums
Over the horizon, here they come
Booming like a firing gun
Blazing like a thousand suns
Dare me to rise and become
A revolution fills my lungs
Stand up, take the podium
Take aim, take charge, and make a run
