Welcome to the "DARK SIDE OF THE TUNE" contest!

We (PaulAds and Paulski) are (marginally) honoured to serve as your humble hosts
and hope to help resolve any tiffs, set-to's or dust-ups related to the RULES below:

Deadline is midnight, October 31st, 2017 (Hallowe'en!  ;D)
Must be a new original song posted in the Finished Songs forum.
Should be a "dark" song. (You can post a happy ditty - but it's likely to be judged harshly!)
You must have > 100 posts on the forum (if you aren't there yet - well - get reviewing!)
Limit is one solo offering and one collab entry per contestant

After it is posted, please send the link to your song to one of the Paul's above and we'll add it to the master list at the top of this thread.
If you have any questions, either assume the worst or, ask one of your Paul hosts.
We will be glad to (begrudgingly) help you.  ;D ;D

Good luck everyone!

Pulls out half-written song from last year's Spooky competition and thinks, ha, still relevant, no-one will notice...

I'm at 66 posts, counting this one.

Just saying, so you all know my post bombardment is not because I'm a Chatty Cathy. I'm working towards a goal. 😊

68! Thank you. Now I'm kinda cheating. Haha.

But I think our song is going to be great! I can be this stoked about it because my writing partner is doing most of the work. I'm just along for the gory ride.

Still got ages yet! :)

Am well excited, might even manage a cillab and a solo

I'm expecting some real nice spooky tunes if last year's entries are anything to go by and I'd encourage everyone to have a go,  even for no other reason that sharing a stage with the quality music here.

Good a reason as any for people to check out last year's winning entry, digger going to try defend? =D

Almost finished writing a song about an old lady with dementia who cries because she cannot recall the words to the songs that she loved to sing as a young woman. I had the idea that the devil waits to steal the melodies that she loves until silence falls all around. The woman recalls the words to the Rogers and Hammerstein song 'Edelweiss' and the George Gershwin tune ''Summertime' and is encouraged to 'Sing' in defiance to the devil.

it's almost complete.

I got this folksy tune going. Countryside sociopath.

and in a lake you can drown your love.'

Didn't you have one about a mortician ... something as good as that one could take the prize!  ;D
