Never a good time to post this, but selfishly I really want to get it off my chest.
I got really excited about the competition, wrote, played and mixed a song I was enthusiastic about. For a while I'd wanted to write a cancer song that was empathetic and defiant, addressing how unprepared everyone is (also hindered as I saw it by organised religion) and trying to get around some elephants in the room with some dark humour (which is the only way I can think of to cope - by the way I'm OK, this is not about me directly).
As competition day loomed, I started to question myself and decided that what I had done was in fact just naive and the dark humour was more at the expense of the people I was trying to empathise with. So I couldn't go ahead and had no time to rewrite.
I've had that time now and think it's OK to allow those that wish to to hear the rewritten version. I still don't entirely know whether I've crossed lines, but feel I can live with this version much better than the original.
Please feel free to skip over... Or approach on the basis that yes it may be provocative but is really intended to express my current personal way of coping... If you think I have made a mistake, then that's also fine, we shouldn't fall out over that. (Life's too short, right?)
Not posting in Finished Songs, or looking for musical feedback, because that's not really the point.
