Half Hour Songwrite Challenge Episode 7 - TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS - 12/11/18 - A Dtube Exclusive! - A Melodic Massacre for Freewrite #416
Welcome to the 9th episode of HALF HOUR SONGWRITE CHALLENGE! 💛
I'm not feeling well this evening, so I'm not going to provide a whole lot of commentary other than to say... wow, what a weird prompt! It was a challenge to come up with lyrics and music for it. But then again that's one of the things I love about freewrites... you never know what to expect :)
HALF HOUR SONGWRITE CHALLENGE is an ongoing daily Dtube vlog. Each day I challenge myself to write a song in 30 minutes, using a one word prompt provided by a random word generator (https://wordcounter.net/random-word-generator), by viewer suggestion, or by @mariannewest's daily freewrite on the Steem blockchain.
On Sunday I'll be finishing one song from this week's Half Hour Songwrite Challenge, and posting the completed version. But on SATURDAY you, the viewers, get to decide which one! Saturday's video will feature numbered clips of each of the song fragments composed this week, and you get to vote for the one you'd most like to see made into a finished song. So be sure to tune in on Saturday and vote!
If you have a prompt that you'd like to see me try, drop it in the comments below. If I use your prompt I will send you one SBI as a thank you!
Today's prompt brought to you by @mariannewest's daily five minute freewrite: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-416-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-temples-made-with-hands
This is my 91st Steemit freewrite!
Today's prompt is: TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS
Lyrics:
TEMPLES
Temples made with hands that grasp
Hands that claw
Hands that catch
Hands that kill to get their way
As if it
Were child's play
The day is at hand
The temples of the damned
Cannot stand
Venerable institutions
Peddling their
Absolution
To innocents while they
Themselves just laugh
And walk away
The day is at hand
The temples of the damned
Cannot stand

Special thanks to @mariannewest and @freewritehouse for getting me hooked on freewrites in the first place ;)
Your face was priceless when you saw the prompt :)
But I love what you got from it!!! Hope you submit it to an open mic contest!
Thanks Marianne! I'm having a lot of fun with these :)
On Saturday, when the recap post rolls around, you can vote for the song you'd like to hear me complete on Sunday. Would you like me to add you to the Saturday post taglist?
