Song Contest!

We have finally gathered enough people, so let's goo! Firstly, a few things:

Rules:

• No inappropriate or explicit content 
• All profanity must either be replaced with an euphemism or censored (eg using the characters @ for a, $ for s, ! for i, etc). Damn, crap, and non profane exclamations such as OMG, jesus christ etc may be written as is.
• Don't harass, mock or belittle anyone else, this is not a rap battle or diss competition. 
• Do not plagiarize other people's works, if there is evidence of plagiarism, your song will be deleted. 
• Do not use AI!! Same as plagiarism, if enough people think your song is the work of AI, it will be removed (details later). 
• Links are not allowed. See Participation section for more details. 

Participation:

• Everyone can share their songs in this forum, there are no requirements.
• Please distinguish between a song, poem, rap, and spoken verse. Only the first one is suitable for this forum.
• You can share your songs one of two ways: Post your lyrics as text in the comment, or if you're a professional, embed the Youtube video in the comment. Links, downloads, or other formats are not allowed. 
• Please try to format your songs as best you can, with line endings, punctuation or other distinguishable delimiter. 
• Name your song!! This is important, creative artists have to give their masterpieces a name lol.
• Only post your songs in the comments. Please don't just say random things, troll, post memes, or comment on other people's poems. All non participation comments will be deleted. As for how to give feedback, more on that later.

Voting (Feedback):

• Use the 👍 thumbs up emoji reaction to upvote a song. At the end of this contest, the most upvoted song wins!
• Use the 👎 thumbs down emoji reaction to downvote a song. Don't randomly downvote other people's works, only do so if they either violate the rules above, or are of extremely subpar quality (yes this is subjective but I think most people won't unintentionally produce a song that most people think is extremely bad xD).
• Use the 🤔 suspicious emoji reaction to indicate you believe the song is written by AI. If enough people put this emoji on a single song, and if I also think it is AI generated, it will be removed. 
• Use the 🤦 facepalm emoji reaction to indicate you believe the song is plagiarized. If enough people put this emoji, or if I can find an exact source of the allegedly plagiarized song, it will be removed. 
• All other emoji reactions are ignored and will not have any effect on the songs or the competition. 

Winning:

1. This contest will go for 10 weeks, alternatively after more than 100 people posted a unique song. The winner is the most 👍 upvoted song of all. 
2. The winner will get an announcement declaring their victory, with the song and their name in the announcement. 
3. They may also get other rewards, but this is not yet decided and requires the owner's approval. 
4. They will certainly be referred to as Master Song Writer!!

Hopefully you have read this far, and if so, have fun!! Btw if anyone have any questions, please dm me instead of posting in this forum. Again, this forum is song exclusive zone!

You were wandering in my mind/ so I sent a love letter and a bird to you/ I even sent some clouds who understand my mood/ please reply back my darling/ I am waiting for you...

Title: Whispers in the Shade (A Song for Shunsui Kyoraku because he is fine as h*ll)

(Verse 1)
Underneath the shadow of a straw-woven hat,
He strolls through Seireitei, calm and laid-back.
His kimono flutters in the cherry blossom breeze,
But behind that smile, there’s a storm you’ll never see.

He laughs with the children and shares sake with friends,
Yet his eyes hold the memory of battles that never end.
With his pink haori and twin blades,
He’ll face the darkest night, always with a smile.

(Chorus)
Shunsui Kyoraku, Captain of the Eighth,
With wisdom and wit, he hides what’s beneath.
His heart is a harbor for those lost at sea,
But cross him in battle, you’ll pay the fee.

(Verse 2)
He dances with fate, holding Zanpakutō in each hand,
Playing deadly games only he understands.
His words seem like riddles, his gaze like a dream,
But when he draws his swords, you’ll hear the reaper scream.

He’s a friend to the lonely and a lover of peace,
Yet he’ll fight for his people and never yield.
When the Gotei is threatened, he won’t turn away,
For honor and duty, he’ll always stay.

(Chorus)
Shunsui Kyoraku, Captain of the Eighth,
With wisdom and wit, he hides what’s beneath.
His heart is a harbor for those lost at sea,
But cross him in battle, you’ll pay the fee.

(Bridge)
Under moonlit gardens, he remembers the pain,
Of comrades long fallen, of loss in the rain.
But Shunsui keeps walking, his hat tipped to the side,
Carrying their hopes, with nothing to hide.

(Outro)
So raise your glass to the captain in pink,
With a laugh and a wink, he’s gone in a blink.
A legend in Seireitei, his spirit runs free
Shunsui Kyoraku, that’s who he’ll always be.

(this feels like a soft rock ballad to me and I really like it so XD)

You were wandering in my mind/ so I sent a love letter and a bird to you/ I even sent some clouds who understand my mood/ please reply back my darling/ I am waiting for you...

I remember we first met/sparks were flying all around us/ at least I felt like that way/ and we reciprocated our love to each other...

Now life has become so hard/ we are away from each other/ so the clouds will spill my tears/ and you will hear how much I miss you from the bird/

Soon we will see each other/ I wanna give you a very warm hug and smother you with kisses/ the wait will soon be over/ we will walk together in the olive gardens...

(more like a poem, than a song I guess...)

🌼 "Shine Like the Morning" 🌼

(Verse 1)

Wake up, the sky is painting blue,

The world is smiling just for you.

Every little step feels light today,

The clouds are dancing, drifting away.

(Pre-Chorus)

Hearts beat faster, laughter’s near,

All the colors start to appear.

(Chorus)

Shine like the morning, bright and new,

Let the sunlight carry you through.

Sing out loud, the day is ours,

We’re golden like the falling stars.

Shine, shine, don’t let it fade,

Happiness is home we’ve made.

(Verse 2)

Dreams are seeds, we let them grow,

Joy’s a river, let it flow.

Every voice a melody,

Together makes the harmony.

(Bridge)

And if the night feels long,

We’ll turn the dark to song,

The world is brighter when you smile along.

(Chorus)

Shine like the morning, bright and new,

Let the sunlight carry you through.

Sing out loud, the day is ours,

We’re golden like the falling stars.

Shine, shine, don’t let it fade,

Happiness is home we’ve made.

(Outro)

So take my hand, let’s chase the day,

We’ll laugh the worries all away.

Forever in this light we’ll stay,

Shining like the morning.

I've seen eyes where the lights burn cold,
Where truth hides deep, never gets told.
But they keep walking, full of miles, no return,
Wearing a body, a face, and a soul burned

(Chorus)

No map, no gold, just a fire I hold,
Waiting through the days I can’t control.
Eyes, telling storms, telling stories,
Eyes! a picture that never lies.

I laughed and said, Ain’t we all?Then I watched the sky start to fall.
No glory waits at the end of the line,
Just peace if you’re lucky with your bottle of time.

(Chorus)

No map, no gold, just a fire I hold,
Waiting through the days I can’t control.
Eyes, telling storms, telling stories,
Eyes! a picture that never lies.

(Bridge)

I don’t pray, but I do believe
In the way the wind can set them free.
Different coloured eyes, different ways of life...

(Coda)From nothing, and no one... and everyone.
