Sink or Swim (Virgo Power)

winter's coffin's got me buried alive
sun far above like a painted sky
you're all going about your lives
while I'm at the bottom of the ocean

spring takes so long to arrive
we’re running out the clock on life
soon winter winds will cut like a knife
just when I got used to summer

fall threw me in the deep end and I sunk
fall threw me in the deep end and I sunk
fall threw me in the deep end and I sunk
fall threw me in the deep end and I sunk

sink or swim
sink or swim
sink or swim
I sank

then all these elements are mixed & combined, folded, spindled & mutilated

While I realize cutting each section in half would cut your song length in half… I think the thing that gets me is just repeating the same part over too many times. Sounds kind of like a jam working out the parts instead of a structured song of the parts you've already worked out.

*Crown Shy: Wish this made it in. Though I'm sure the contestants are happy that you're just a shadow. 😉

Songs were listened to and written about in alphabetical order, I will try to listen in reverse order in Round 1, as I realize that some reviews may have gotten better or worse depending on when I listened/wrote about said song. Overall well done to everyone who entered into Round 0!

some clunky timing on the transitions between verses and choruses, but I like the song generally and the vocal layering on the chorus sounds great. I generally like the mix of shiny omnichord, bass and the live drums although there is a LOT of high end in that omnichord sound so I wouldn't say no to a little EQing to make it less harsh.
