October 27, 20186 yr The form asks for mp3s which presumably some people will make use of, so I'd say the song should be at least a bit fitting too. And as much as I enjoy the whole music video thing, it is a song contest :P #NotOnVetoPanel
October 27, 20186 yr Gotcha! I think I have something on my sleeves for this :) Edited October 27, 20186 yr by Addy K!ng
October 27, 20186 yr Well in the last contest there was some songs where the music videos were more spooky/Halloween vibes than the song itself was there not?
October 27, 20186 yr Well in the last contest there was some songs where the music videos were more spooky/Halloween vibes than the song itself was there not? Yeah I remember there were. I mean those songs' themes may have been spooky too in some way if you were to look into it. I'm just saying if it's literally just the music video that fits then I wouldn't really agree with that :P but what do I know, I sent an existential song to a Christmas spin-off :D

I HAD NO ARTIST TO SEND BUT HER!!! YOU ALSO SAID MY ENTRY LAST HALLOWEEN WASN'T HALLOWEENY! SILENCE!
October 27, 20186 yr YOU ALSO SAID MY ENTRY LAST HALLOWEEN WASN'T HALLOWEENY! SILENCE! lol yeah that's probably one of the entries Harry was referring to, I remember the video being spooky. I don't remember the song but like I said, if I was to look into it, I might be able to find some spookiness in the sound or in the lyrics too :P
October 27, 20186 yr I'd say it has to be either sonically or lyrically halloween-y and not just have a spooky video as not everyone listens via youtube etc
October 27, 20186 yr Tbh we did actually allow songs with a spooky video (Phlox & Chet Faker) last time as I felt it added to the atmosphere & package of the song but in retrospect, the songs didn't have much else horror-y about them at all so they did stick out a bit. We were kinda super lenient as we wanted more people to partake :lol: I don't know how the veto panel are working this time, but I'd guess it's pushing it a bit.
October 27, 20186 yr I've entered something but I really wasn't at all sure what to send, I find this to be by far the most difficult themed contest to find something for.

Talk Is Cheap is now a Halloween classic tbh - everyone says so
October 28, 20186 yr My song has gone from the google form but I can PM an MP3 to the host if they let me know when they're ready ;)
October 29, 20186 yr Submitted foreign entry :smoke: I can translate the lyrics if need be. That reminds - I actually have no idea what language (if any! :P) my song is in, the vocals convey a ~mood~ more than anything else I guess. I still sing along tho cos I'm kool that way.
