Dear Music Lovers

I would to thank you all for your participation, the amount of entries was surprisingly overwhelming, I had to take an extra day just to deliberate.

Here are the 4 criteria used for picking the winner:

Poetry

The ability to chose the right word at the right time, rhyming isn't a necessity

Musicality

How easy it is to put the song into music

Feeling

How much emotion is transcribed into words

Theme

If the theme is being respected

With no further ado, OUR WINNERS ARE:

1st Place:

@junkfeathers

CONGRATULATION!!!!

You win 5SBD, and your lyrics will be made into a complete song by myself!!! If you want to sing it , it can be arranged too but I would love to give it a try
The song will be released on @dsound, and you will get 50% of the liquid rewards made from the post of that song.

DISCLAIMER: This is a once-off use of the song, I will not own you lyrics.

This was such a beautiful text, very well built, there's a story, it rhymes, there's a metaphor used to sum up the theme, I can't wait to see what I will come up with !

[NO TITLE]

I was such a fool back then
didn't know what I had
I thought that summer would never end
the music was so powerful
felt the earth move under our feet
we knew how to make them move
If we knew it was our last scene
would it have changed anything

I'm grateful for what we shared - I'm grateful for you
I love where our light comes from
we shine so bright
we make eternal summertime

I'm still a fool but I've learned
to cherish those connections that
made waves that never crash
it carries on, endlessly
the music that lives inside of me
is opened up with your key
if we knew this was our last scene
would we write one more song?

I'm grateful for what we shared - I'm grateful for you
I love where our light comes from
we shine so bright
we make eternal summertime

CONGRATULATION!!!

You win 3SBD !!!

"Gleam in my Eyes"

Verse 1:

Oh at times an endless struggle
Has brought me to my knees
And I thank the grass below me
For giving me air to breathe

Chorus:

I thank the darkness
For showing me the light
And I thank the hard times
For giving me might
To keep on climbing
To ever greater heights
With a grateful heart
And a gleam in my eyes

Verse 2:

Oh at times I feel so weary
I lay down and I sleep
And I thank my tired limbs
For giving me time to dream

Another quality text, that nearly tied with the winner, I love the fact that the chorus is longer than the verse, I am sure you will come up with an amazing melody and chord progression, well because you already are an amazing singer!
Well done on your entry, this was flawless!

3rd Place

CONGRATULATION!!!!

You win 2 SBD!!!

Standing Ovation

Verse 1

How to say what I need to say
It’s hard to talk about pain
I know that you couldn’t stay
I know there’s no one to blame

Verse 2

I guess there’s no use to regret
Though it’s hard to be okay
I know I’ll never forget
All you did to help me grow
And become what I am today

Chorus

And I thank you for all the times you were there for me
And I thank you for all the moments that we shared
Every dance, every song inside and out of stage

And I thank you for your laughs and your affection
And I swear, I’ll remember you
And dedicate to you every standing ovation

The simplicity of the song really got me. This is song was written and dedicated to @lilixblack's friend that passed away not so long ago, I thought it was a beautifully written tribute, and I am sure your friend appreciate the gesture from where she/is. Thanks for sharing this special text with us, I truly believe that our love for others lives on through our art.
Standing ovation for you !

THANK YOU

Once again, thanks to all the contestants for their wonderful entries, I will organize another lyrics competition very soon , and maybe the next time we can get more winner and a bigger prize pool!

Thanks to all the friends that played the game, some of your lyrics really touched me, I really tried to be as impartial as I can be, cause our goal is to showcase the best of what Steemit has to offer, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
