 ... and the winners are ... drum rolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.......

Gold medal winner: TC 9077 Skub https://soundcloud.com/skub1955/thomas-caldwell-boydie-master
Silver goes to: The Ends Justify The Means tboswell https://soundcloud.com/t-j-boswell/the-ends-justify-the-means
Bronze awarded to: Heart of us olivergearing https://www.reverbnation.com/olivergearing/song/24513158-heart-of-us

Congrats to the winners and thanks to all who voted :)

Oh, and we need a voluntold volunteer to host the March SOTM - you know you want to!!









Here are my top five picks for SOTM February (in no particular order).
I'd like to officially whine about how hard this was. Even with the Valentine's competition still going strong there were a lot of excellent songs to chose from in February and, if your song is not on the list, well it is because it was soooo close to being picked it was up to a coin toss really as to why it isn't there :)

Daydreaming on a Sunday Morning - Collab. with Tom Crocus Doodles https://soundcloud.com/negativeentropy/daydreaming-on-a-sunday-morning-feat-matt-greco-and-ariel-currant-based-on-lyrics-by-tom-crocus-1

So please get off your duffs and give these worthy entries another listen and PM me your votes for top three before the ides of March EOD!

thanks!
Paul

I am honoured to be hosting this event - good forumites!

So, the rules are (from my understanding of them)

 - Songs entered in the "Love song with a twist" competition are NOT eligible
 - Only songs posted in finished songs section in Feb/2016 are eligible
 - newbee posters are eligible (we are waiving the minimum posts requirement this month)
 - if your song is selected for the short list and you don't vote, your song will be disqualified

So - get 'em in before the end of Feb please! And if you hear one you think should be shortlisted let me know by PM and I will give it strong consideration :)

Good luck everyone!
Paul

Wow,blown away.  :o

It's especially good to be appreciated by those who know what it means to spent inordinate amounts of time and energy getting a song exactly how you want it and how elusive that process can ofttimes be.

Many thanks to my fellow song-slaves,all the nominations are worthy winners and the quality runs deep.

Thanks also to Paulski for taking the time and bother to host the comp.

Davy.
