It's the Half Hour Songwrite Challenge WEEKLY RECAP! ๐Ÿ’›

I'm feeling emphatically and unequivocally MEH about the HHSC output this week... so I seriously need your feedback if there is to be a Sunday Song of the Week tomorrow!

Check out the unfinished songs featured in the video. Vote for your favorite. The winning song will be finished and posted in tomorrow's SUNDAY SONG OF THE WEEK:

  1. FROM SCRATCH (prompt: IT ALL NEEDS REWIRING, by @sima369)
  2. TOPSY TURVY UNIVERSE (prompt: HANDSTANDING PEDESTRIAN, by @marvyinnovation)
  3. GREAT (prompt: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, by @wonderwop)
  4. LIKE FLYING (prompt: HOW WILL IT ALL END? by @dmilliz)

One of these entries will become a finished song. But which one? YOU decide, by voting for it! Simply comment the name and/or prompt of the song you'd like to see finished. The entry with the most votes will be outfitted with additional verses, choruses, bridges, codas, and other bells and whistles as needed, and arranged and recorded for Sunday's post. All voters will receive a 100% upvote from me as a thank you for weighing in :)

This week, the prompts came from the Half Hour Songwrite PICK-A-PROMPT contest, which was a ton of fun! So many amazing, creative, challenging, quirky, and occasionally laugh-out-loud wacky prompt ideas, I had as much fun reading prompts as I did writing songs :)

A heartfelt thanks goes out to all those who offered up prompts for the contest, and to those who have commented on this series so far! I'll tag you here in case you'd like to vote for your favorite piece before tomorrow's deadline: @tibfox, @dmilliz, @wonderwop, @freecrypto, @iamjadeline, @toufiqurrahman32, @mariannewest, @jasonrussell, @fitinfun, @roundbeargames, @chireerocks, @vincy, @botefarm, @wordymouth, @sumit71428, @onnovocks, @jesuslnrs, @josediccus, @kaerpediem, @kaelci, @rachel1998, @max1994, @perry1, @masud91, @cityofstars.


HALF HOUR SONGWRITE CHALLENGE is an ongoing daily Dtube vlog. Each day I challenge myself to write a song in 30 minutes, using a one word prompt provided by a random word generator (https://wordcounter.net/random-word-generator), by viewer suggestion, or by @mariannewest's daily freewrite on the Steem blockchain.

*Pick-a-Prompt is a contest that runs every Sunday - Thursday on Dtube. Winning prompts receive 3 Steem basic Income shares, and are used for the following day's Half Hour Songwrite Challenge! Also, beginning this week, Promptketeers who participate 3 or more times in any given week receive 1 SBI :)

I'm going with Topsy Turvy Universe. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I second topsy turvy. The style and the lyrics go really well together.

This is my first listen to the half hour song prompts. Maybe I am too late to contribute in a constructive way, but if this is you in a state of MEH then I must go back and listen to your past creations. I find it hard to choose between them, they all have merit to me.

Thank you @girlbeforemirror! I very much appreciate the compliment, so glad you enjoyed these :)

You did see that you won one of the Pick-a-Prompts? https://steemit.com/dtube/@bennettitalia/7u7mus5p

Also: Topsy Turvy did end up winning, it was fun to finish writing it up. Thanks for voting!

Oh my god! You are amazing! You made me cry! No I had no idea. My life is quite chaotic and my steemit participation reflects that.
I showed my son just now, he can't believe there is a real song about pig bear ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿป.
Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜
I wish I could resteem. We will make a post. xxxxxx
