Greetings, Seasonistas!
This week your challenge is to play us a song that is about books, literature and/or reading. Short mentions in the lyrics don’t count, it really has to be about or be inspired by books. Think Kate Bush' Wuthering Heights etc. There are a lot of websites out there that have compiled lists of songs and artists that are heavily inspired by literature.
This one, for instance: http://flavorwire.com/335531/10-of-musics-most-literature-obsessed-songwriters/2
Or give this one a look: http://www.songfacts.com/category-songs_inspired_by_books.php
There are two prizes for two winners, one to be chosen by yours truly and one to be chosen by you. You can only vote if you enter. Your vote can be submitted by PM.
There will be just one playlist, and you can enter up to three songs.
There will be bonus points for anyone who plays a song by The Books.
Rules:
- State in your vid that it is for the 80th Season.
- No multitracking
- Ukulele is the main instrument
- Please mention the book or writer your song is about / inspired by
- Please do not post your video before Sunday August 25th 12:01 AM Hawaii time. Due to circumstances I had to post this challenge earlier than I normally would have done. Let’s enjoy DougF’s wonderful season while we can.
We’re looking forward to your entries!
Cheers, Michael & Saskia
