Song Fight Review: This Isn't Over Yet


Spintown & Company: I don’t expect people to get the lyrics to this one. For the most part I only write lyrics when I want to do a Minecraft music video, and that’s what this is about. More specifically it’s about a mini game called “Bed Wars” played on the Hypixel Network. In short it’s a PvP game in which you can respawn after being killed. To stop your opponents from respawning you have to get into their base, and break their bed. After that, once they die, they stay dead, and the last person/team alive wins. I personally have a play style that 95% of players find VERY annoying...and that’s what the song is about. Most protect their bed & gear up with better armor & swords to win fights. I give up my bed, don’t worry about armor & swords. Instead, I get ranged weapons & stay mobile. I kill from a distance & stay hard to catch. So often people see me in game & think, “EZ kill”...but then...they get punch bowed. If you’re interested in what the game is like, here’s a link to an animated music video I directed for a song Jonathan Mann wrote for me.

I normally write parodies. Mostly because they’re easy. I’m not a musician & have 0 musical knowledge. I’ve done a few raps & jingles, but those are a struggle for me. I need the structure in place ahead of time. In this case...I had nothing. I’d been waiting for a fight I could combine with one of my Minecraft videos, and this one inspired me. So in 1 evening I wrote lyrics. Structure was created kinda randomly. I didn’t have any music in my head or any idea of how this should sound. When I was done I contacted Eric Ames, who I’ve used on a few other songs recently, and asked if he could turn the lyrics into a song. He suggested a fast paced 80’s rock song, and as a child of the 80’s I was fine with that. He said he could make the deadline, so I let him do his thing. 2 days before the deadline he sends me the file I turned in. So we both did this in 1 shot basically. Gave him my first lyric draft, and I went with the first track he sent me. I love what he did. After hearing my lyrics being performed there are a couple things I’d change about them. And they are normally things I’d catch if writing a parody, cause I’d just sing them myself as I was writing. But he did a good job of covering for my sloppy writing, and I’m more than happy with how it turned out.

Oh, and I didn’t even worry about the optional challenge. Just doing a fight for the first time was enough for me, and I didn’t feel like giving Eric more to worry about other than my crappy lyrics.

Brown Word and the Big Whine: I’m a pretty dense guy, so I like lyrics to be pretty simple & for there to be an easy to follow story. Not sure I know exactly what this song is about. I mean non conformist, but about what exactly? Not really catchy enough for me, but I do like how you change up some of the repeated bits a little here & there so it doesn’t feel too repetitive.

My Social Uniform: Um...this is only the 2nd song I’ve listened to, but this may not be much of a fight in my opinion. I loved this. At first I didn’t pay attention to the name of the band, but then I heard the song & I was like...this sounds like a couple other songs I have saved on my PC…I keep a thumb drive of favorite Song Fight songs & your songs for “Taken Aback” & “What To Say And How To Say It” are on there. Really love your sound in general, and this song is right up my alley. Upbeat, positive, and very relatable to me. As someone who’s dealt with some depression over the years, I really like getting a song that can inspire me or help give a little positivity when you start asking yourself how, or why am I here. Catchy...singable...love it.

Glenn Case: Post your lyrics please. :D

Paco del Stinko: Digging the music, but then the use of the title kinda stops the groove I was getting into. I normally listen to these with the lyrics in front of me, and with some of your lines they’re delivered really quickly & got a little muddled. Even with the lyrics in front of me I had to pause & go back & read a couple times. Listening without the lyrics I know I’m not picking up all those lines clearly. Fun entry, but those 2 issues would stop it from getting repeat listens from me later.

Mellfire Trifecta: Hit play & you were halfway through the first line before I could tab over to the lyrics. Give me a few seconds to get ready man. The hook was more catchy than some of the others this fight, and I don’t have any major complaints. The start was abrupt, and maybe the song could use a place to breathe somewhere, it’s driving pretty consistently. Was that a 23 or 24 seconds “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”? Also, did you have a certain personality on TV or the internet that this was about?

Duncan Martin: Another song that could ease you in a little more at the start. Overall I enjoyed it. Clear story, told pretty well, and not a story I thought I’d be hearing. First song I’ve heard about a trip to the dump. I saw your comment about the “cracked” line prior to writing the review, but yeah, fix that. Maybe a few places could flow a little better or be reworded, but this seems Ross Durandish. I like Ross, and this.

The Pannacotta Army: Can’t listen to the music or your vocals in this without smiling. It’s a sweet song about not giving up on love, or a creepy song about a stalker. I’m cool with either. I do have a question about 1 line. “I’m lying on the deck” is that referencing a fighter who’s been knocked down? I’ve not heard that phrase in this context before. Usually I hear mat or canvas, but those don’t rhyme, so is that why you used “deck”? Or is it something people actually say? Good song, probably going to earn one of my votes.

ShoehornTC: First line had me worried. I thought I might be getting a song about writing a song. But it turns out I was worried for nothing. The music was sweet & the performance solid. Lyrically a little depressing & not my bag, but another solid song for the fight.

Sweeney Toad: The angry yelling rap isn’t my favorite style, but you do deliver it clearly, which makes it better than most rap I hear these days. Couldn’t really get into the lyrics as they didn’t really speak to me at all, but I think my main issue was the chorus just wasn’t catchy.

Rapping On The Dance Floor

 



FREE song download: https://spintown.bandcamp.com/track/rapping-on-the-dance-floor Lyrics: Spintown (with help from Glenn Case) Music & Vocals: Glenn Case https://www.youtube.com/user/glenncase During FAWM 2019 I was struggling to think of an idea for awhile so I decided to finish a rap I started close to 20 years ago. And this requires some backstory. I went to college to become a P.E. Teacher, and one of the classes I was required to take was a dance & gymnastics class. The Professor decided it would be a good idea for everyone to get into a circle & 1 at a time have each person introduce themselves and then....do an interpretive dance or make up a song to sing in front of the class. This guy was clearly evil. I'm not a dancer, and I wasn't looking forward to having to dance at all in this class. But to be singled out on day 1 to dance or sing (another thing I don't do) was a nightmare. Thankfully someone asked if they could rap instead of sing, and the professor allowed it. So I frantically started scribbling words down on paper. I got lucky & didn't have to go first, but there were only about 10 people who had to go in front of me, and I've never written any type of lyrics before. When my turn came around I had 2 verses written down on paper. The first one wasn't too bad, and the 2nd was iffy at best. But I recited them, and it was enough to satisfy my new least favorite person on Earth, so I was allowed to sit down. Now I'm horrible at remembering lyrics to songs. But this moment was so traumatic for me I never forgot the words I scribbled down that day. So I've used them as a starting off point for this song. After FAWM 2019 the lyrics sat untouched for a couple years. Recently I revised them slightly & sent them off to Glenn Case to bring to life. He added the vamp at the start & made slight adjustments where needed in the lyrics. He of course did everything else. Took 20ish years...but the song is done.

 It's been more than a decade since I featured Reina del Cid on here.  I guess she's due for an appearance.
