Hello Dearies,
just here to remind you of round two of the Mad World Music Contest and also see if some new peeps want to join in on the fun :D The deadline is still pretty far away ( December 23rd at 00:00 hours (midnight) Eastern Standard Time) but It can't hurt to poke some of you as you ran out of time and lamented on round one ...
Round #2 what’s the deal?
Let's reiterate -Round two will be Yule/Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah themed this means that you are prompted to make a winter holiday themed song with items that are traditionally associated with the holidays 😊
Contest Specifications:
1- make a piece of music (any genre) In which you use 5 winter holiday Items and or animals traditionally associated with these holidays (like a reindeer’s yodel) as a base. ( only 2 living beings are allowed the other 3 must be inanimate objects. ) Example you can use cookie cutters, a yule log, wrapping paper, a dreidel, your footsteps in snow, Christmas ornaments, bells, Santa’s Belly ...you get the idea ...the more creative the better. Make it traditional, make a comedy piece, make it gloomy or fun it is all up to you 😊
2-To these 5 sounds you can add vocals, Instrumentation, beats but the 5 Instruments need to be noticeable not just hidden in the piece.
3-Take a photograph of each of the five items and tell us how you used them or make a video of the process.
4- everyone is invited, every skill level welcome.
5- Make a video featuring your song, be it with you in holiday attire, naked with a Santa hat (yes @carlgnash I am thinking of you here 😉cause we know you want to 😉)or a good holiday themed video collage or animation.

Well, I'm sad, because I'm a divorced old bachelor of many years now and I don't really have any holiday stuff here. I do have our family christmas ornaments in storage, in another state, from when I WAS married, but it's very painful to look at them, so I keep them in storage. Not to be a bummer or whatever, I guess this post just got me thinking about it, and between it being a rather complex context in the first place and the fact I don't have any christmas stuff here, welp, I have to decline the invitation this time.
It does make me think about maybe writing a christmas song though, with my more conventional instruments, synths and computer, that speaks to people who may be in my shoes, on their own at the holidays year after year, and somehow work in some encouragement or some shared experience or something. Hrm.

I'm sorry to read your post man and I wish you the best. I've been going through a divorce for over 2 years now. It's gut-wrenchingly painful, by far the worst pain I've ever felt. I'm thankful for the small amount of time I get to spend with my kids though. It's not enough but it gets me by

Do the next right things. It takes a long time, and little things will always bother you, I'm not gonna lie, but overall, as my momma told me, wounds hurt, but scars don't. She turned out to be right about that, I can tell you 15 years later...

:( oh Cork I am so sorry :( Yule is really my fav time of year even though I sort have spent it alone the past years. You could choose maybe one of the other winter holidays :( or in defiance of being sad do Seinfeld's Festivus ?

Tradition of Festivus well there is always the pole and you could use one or two Festivus dinner items and sme from the feats of strength ;) and you could air your grievances too on the piece :D

I still am imagining myself having time to do this, so far I'm compromised into finishing a halloween special, and I do release a Xmas special each year but usually on Xmas night... intentions are good, and the idea is superb, I am just not good at doing things in time :) cos I haven't got much, I've only contested in open three times and I try "every" week LOL hahah in my mind
