It's the Half Hour Songwrite Challenge WEEKLY RECAP! 💛
This week's selections:
ANGELS' WINGS (prompt: WALKING ON HOT COALS by @owasco)
NEW BREED (prompt: THE BOY WHO CRIED WEREWOLF by @emergehealthier)
HOME (prompt: HOUSE PARTY FAIL by @wonderwop)
One of these entries will become a finished song. But which one? YOU decide, by voting for it! Simply comment the name and/or prompt of the song you'd like to see finished. The entry with the most votes will be outfitted with additional verses, choruses, bridges, codas, and other bells and whistles as needed, and arranged and recorded for Sunday's post. All voters will receive a 100% upvote from me as a thank you for weighing in :)
Remember: 1 vote here + 2 or more pick-a-prompt suggestions this week = 1 Steem Basic Income weekly participation prize :D
Thank you to all of the PICK-A-PROMPTers! So many amazing, creative, challenging, quirky, and occasionally laugh-out-loud wacky prompt ideas, I have as much fun reading prompts as I do writing songs :)

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 the Pick-a-Prompt contest, by a random word generator (https://wordcounter.net/random-word-generator), or by @mariannewest's daily freewrite on the Steem blockchain.
*PICK-A-PROMPT is a contest that runs every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on Dtube. Winning prompts receive 3 Steem basic Income shares, and are used for the following day's Half Hour Songwrite Challenge! Pick-a-Prompters who participate 3 or more times in any given week (includes casting votes for the SUNDAY SONG OF THE WEEK) receive 1 SBI :)
Lyrics:
ANGELS' WINGS
For you I would walk across hot coals My soul is yours to keep The Devil's tried so many times To steal what I give you willingly Life may be fragile But so is death And I want to be by your side For every breath So I'd better learn to trust you With breakable things They say even the Devil once had angels' wings
NEW BREED
Don't believe me it's ok But you'll be sorry that you sent me outside to play
When I said to run I meant to run away When I said to run I meant to run away
I can't kill what I am You should've killed me when you had the chance
When I said to run I meant to run away When I said to run I meant to run away
Now it's too late To believe What you want to believe You can't escape Reality By turning a blind eye There's a full moon in the sky Remember when I cried wolf? That's why you'll cry when you see me That's why you'll cry when you see me
That's why you'll cry
It's a blessing in disguise But there's no way you could've known that at the time
Now it's too late For you to see What you wanted to see You can't play Hide and seek By turning a blind eye There's a full moon in the sky Remember when I cried wolf? That's why you'll cry when you see me That's why you'll cry when you see me
That's why you'll cry That's why you'll cry We are a new breed See the moon in our eyes?
A feral moon in A feral sky We are the new breed Find yourselves In our eyes
HOME
This is supposed to be fun But I just want to run away Is it ok If I sit here next to you?
'Cause you seem unsure Whether to go or stay And I don't even wanna try Anymore Don't wanna drink Just because I'm bored Don't feel like talking When there's nothing to say
What's so great about oblivion anyway? I'll take the way you wear infinity any day I'll take the stars in the sky at night Let's walk outside Stare into space 'Cause it's never too late to go home To go home To go You know it's never too late to go home To go home
Let me take you home
