DressedUpLikeHipsters Songwriting Contest
I tried one of these before, but my internet went down so I never got to continue it on, so I decided to make a new one. I'm also looking for 1/2 judges, so if you want to judge, message me.
The rules are as follows;
1)No stealing.
2)No entering the same song twice.
3)Must comply with the theme.
4)Must have more than one verse.
5)Must be completed.
6)Can contain a Taylor Swift lyric. One lyric per song. No more.
7)There is no points system, so you can enter when you like, and choose which theme you would like to enter in.
A lot of songwriting contests don't elaborate on the awards, so I'm just going to go into a little more detail.
1st, 2nd & 3rd place-Basically, the judges and myself are going to pick our three favourite songs using a scoring system. The three judges will give a score for each song, we'll then find the mean and that will rank you all. Songs will be scored on originality, how well it fit with the theme, the meaning behind the lyrics and the layout.
Fearless Award-This will be the song that the judges feel stood out in terms of originality. Songwriters will have to think out of the box in order to win this.
Speak Now Award-This is the song that will have the most emotion behind it, in terms of lyrics, it would be helpful if we could connect with the song, but as long as there's emotion in the song, it could be picked.
Red Award-The Red Award will be for the song we think sounds most like the kind of song Taylor would write. So if we could see Taylor writing&performing the song, there's a chance it could win this.
Best Line-Obviously, the judges and myself will pick out our favourite line from the songs that are entered. This will be the line we feel stuck out most, and was most memorable.
Round 1:
Theme: Song based on a story/fanfic
Closing Date: Monday 4th February 2013
1st place: "Alright" by _TSwizzles13_
2nd place: "October" by lovelykate13

Fearless Award: "Alright" by _TSwizzles13_
Speak Now Award: "October" by lovelykate13
Red Award: "I'll lose you" by TaylorSwiftFebruary13
Best Line: 'And I guess it makes us selfish, To both survive.' -Alright by _TSwizzles13_
Round 2:
Theme: How it's alright to be unique
Closing Date: Monday 11th February 2013
1st place:
2nd place:
3rd place:
Fearless Award:
Speak Now Award:

Re: DressedUpLikeHipsters Songwriting Contest
Ooh! Looks like fun! I'll enter! This song is based on a book that I'm writing, I hope you like it!!
I Saw You
Your hand, held mine
Your eyes said 'May I have this dance?'
I was done with guys
Till you came for the ride
You hold me, right hand at my waist
You twirled me, till I was dizzy and couldn't speak
I kissed you, ever so softly
And then, I knew
CHORUS
That you were all I ever wanted
That you were my prince charming on a steed
Told you I couldn't see into the future, but I knew
I saw you
CHORUS END
You pulled me against the wall to hide me
You said 'I don't have anything to live for if you leave me'
I cried till I, was strong enough to stand up and fight
They tried to tie me up with their little ropes
I ended the battle then and there for us
I kissed you, ever so softly
And then I knew
CHORUS 1x
We ended the day I lost my heart to you
You didn't take a second chance at me
Until you pulled me into your arms and said
That I was everything you ever wanted
That I was your princess on a steed
Told me you couldn't see into the future, but you knew
You saw me
CHORUS 2x
The day you put the ring on my finger
The day we vowed to stay forever
The night you kissed me ever so softly
And said 'I'm so happy that that one day, I saw you.'

Re: DressedUpLikeHipsters Songwriting Contest
I wrote this song, it's based off of my own story of being bullied in high school.
October by Katie Thing
hey lIttle girl,
with the saddest face
don't be afraid
don't be afraid
i'm gonna take your side
this tiMe
i can see them over there
with wicked eyes and hateful stares
we're not going down without a fight
don't Be afraid, don't run away
i'm tElling you what i wish i knew
all along and yesTerday
don't leT them break you
never bend
when it was me
all i needed was a friend
now thEy've got their battle swords
they're ready to start a war
remember not to fall behind
stabbing knives upon your back
waiting watching for you to cRack
anything to be first in line
don't be afraid, don't run away
i'm telling you what i wish i kNew
all along and yesterday
don't let them break you
never bend
when it was me
all i needed was a friend
remember what you're made of
dOn't let them take that away
remember i am here for you
and that's something that they can't
change
hey little girl,
it's a happy day
we're not afraid
we're not afraid
We're moving on to a better place

Re: DressedUpLikeHipsters Songwriting Contest
I’ll Lose You
you walk by it’s like it always is
it never changes it’s the same thing
sometimes i watch you sometimes you watch me
but today i feel i just wanna cry, i just wanna cry
cause i can’t tell you how i feel
if i do i’m afraid that you’ll walk away
maybe i’ll be left alone again
if i do you might never speak to me the same
the words i wanna say are hidden in the back of my mind
i want so bad to tell you i really want you to know but i know that if i do
i’ll lose you
the feeling really hits me hard when were talking and you’re so nice to me
i just wish that i wasn’t so afraid of everything
not afraid of nothing, the words pile up in the back of my mind
they build up and i just wanna tell you, i just wanna tell you
but i know that if i do baby if i do
i’ll lose you
sometimes i wish i could read your mind
just to see what you really think of me
when you smile is there truth behind your eyes?
am i alone or do you feel the same way to?
i just wish i could tell you, wish i could tell you
i just wanna tell you, just wanna tell you
but i’m afraid that i’ll lose you, that i’ll lose you
just like i lost everybody like i lost everybody that knew
no on can ever hold on long enough for me
i guess i’m just not worth it, no
i just wanna tell baby how i feel
i know it’s real
but if i do oh if i do i’m so afraid
that i’ll lose you
i don’t wanna lose you
i don’t wanna lose you
i don’t wanna lose you
i don’t wanna lose you
baby don’t leave me too
when i look in your eyes it feels like you do to
am i the only one between us two
the one who knows that we are meant to be together
i just wish you knew but i’m afraid that if i tell you
i’ll lose you
This is a song of everything that happens to me all the time. ALL THE TIME

Re: DressedUpLikeHipsters Songwriting Contest
Alright
based on the Hunger Games (Peeta and Katniis)
If I dared..
To hurt you
I couldn't live with myself, today
And you were standing there
If I only knew
For you.. it wasn't just a game
And I guess it makes us selfish
To both survive
That was a risk worth takin
Now its hard to live our lifes
If he hadn't told me
This was just the way we'd survive
It'd be easier, to have you by my side
If I hadn't kissed you in the cave
And then take all my love away
We'd be fine
Are you alright?
And now President Snow
Holds all the matches
So come run with me
Before fire catches
Us
Is this rhythm of love?
And all my lies turn to truth
Am I really in love with you?
Oooh oh!
I still wish you'd told me
This was just the way we'd survive
It brings a smile to my face, to have you by my side
If I hadn't kissed you in the cave
Things wouldn't be the same
And we're just fine
We'll be alright
Alright!
Alright
Are you alright? Its bout time? We're just fine
Cause we're alright!

Re: DressedUpLikeHipsters Songwriting Contest
Round 2 song: Here's to the wildflowers (no stealing please i worked really hard on it)
She.. stuck out
Like a sore thumb in the crowd
She.. got lost along the way
She.. just needs to feel okay
She.. is scared, oh my
Scared.. to live her life
She.. is insecure
She.. don't even know.. she's about to soar
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the underrated
Here's to the wildflowers
You see the chance but your afraid to take it
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the girls next door
Here's to the wildflowers
In 5 years, you'll be taking them by storm
Here's to, here's to
Here's to the wildflowers
He.. aint like the rest
He... can only be his best
He.. is scared that aint enough
He... lives a life so tough
And he.. knows he's blessed
But he's.. good at second guessin'
Ooh and he.. he.. just wants to live his life right
And well he, he's about to fly
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the underrated
Here's to the wildflowers
You see the choice don't be afraid to make it
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the biggest dreamers
Here's to the wildflowers
Blue jeans, and worn down sneakers
Here's to, here's to
Here's to the wildflowers
If you roll up your sleeves
And get a little bit dirty
Or put on a smile
Even when you know its hurting
You care more about science
Than you do about sports, you see
We could form a grand alliance
It makes a great little story
If you love life
Even when it's cruel
Laugh at yourself
When you look like a fool
With everything you do
You got a little wildflower in you
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the underrated
Here's to the wildflowers
You see the chance but your afraid to take it
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the girls next door
Here's to the wildflowers
In 5 years, you'll be taking them by storm
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the underrated
Here's to the wildflowers
You see the choice don't be afraid to make it
Here's to the wildflowers
Here's to the biggest dreamers
Here's to the wildflowers
Blue jeans, and worn down sneakers
Here's to, here's to
Here's to, here's to!
Here's to! Here's to!
Here's to the wildflowers
