The One-Line Lyric Challenge has been updated -- please read below! Welcome to the One-Line Lyric Challenge! Every month, I will post two songs: One with a lyric prompt (start of the month) and one as a song prompt (middle of the month). Entries will be due at the end of the month for either prompt. Lyric Prompt: Write a poem or story and include the prompted lyric line somewhere in your work, word for word. It's up to you how you want to incorporate the line. Please bold the line to make it easier for me to find. It's OK if your work is loosely inspired by the song, but try not to make it too similar or copy the song. If you don't like the provided lyric prompt, you can pick a different line from the lyrics to incorporate (only one line). Song Prompt: Write a poem or story inspired by the song. You do not need to include any lyrics directly, and in some cases there may not be any lyrics. Just write whatever the music or lyrics inspires. Please link back to the challenge somewhere in your entry using {item:lyric} and post your entry as a link in the comments here. The Prizes: 5K GPs, a merit badge of my choosing, plus a guaranteed review of your entry. If you enter both prompts that month, you will get double the prizes! Feel free to listen and comment on the music or other people's entries, even if you don't plan to enter the challenge! There may be gift points in store for people who are active in the comments or share / promote the challenge.

| Today I have for you a masterpiece of harmonies, vocal composition, key changes and tempo changes. This is a rare live rehearsal recording of one of the Beach Boy's most underrated songs. It has quite a different feel from their other songs, and also a very different feel than the studio version. Don't get me wrong, their early surf bop is great, but songs like this really show off their compositional genius and depth. I highly recommend watching the music video of the song as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptxwWt2JeGQ Very different than this live version. I'm not sure which I prefer, I like them both for different reasons. Song Prompt: "Heroes and Villains" by the Beach Boys By the way, this one was a specific request for the Beach Boys. As a native Californian, of course I couldn't say no. Now, go forth and write! |
| I have to admit something... I'm a deadhead. That's right. I'm a fan of The Grateful Dead. This is their interpretation of the legend of John Luther “Casey” Jones  a railroad engineer for the Illinois Central Railroad who was known for his speed. In 1900, he left Memphis' Central Station at a quarter to nine, going over 100 mph because the train was an hour and a half behind schedule. His train collided with another parked train, killing Casey Jones, fortunately everyone else on board survived.Enjoy the embellished story of "Casey" Jones. "Casey Jones" by The Grateful Dead Lyrics: ▼ Lyric Prompt: "Lady in red" Include the above line somewhere in your entry. If you don't like the given prompt, you can chose another line from the lyrics above. |
