Hyperfixation Songs (and why they are a less expensive option than Pickleball)
First, let's get this out of the way! It's been a few months since I have published anything on Vocal. I've been lurking here reading and commenting but not writing anything and also not entering any of the challenges, not even the non Vocal+ one that I wouldn't have to pay to enter. Why not? Why wouldn't I bother coming up with something for such a cool challenge?
Donna ReneePublished 3 days ago in BeatPlaylist: Politics
Jen Dixon – The Sound Political is personal. The rumbling scandal around the Teesside freeport might seem arcane, but the whiff of dodgy deals seeps into people’s lives. And, when those people are gifted songwriters, it sparks the creative process. Jen Dixon’s work has tended to be a response to her own relationships and feelings, but the more she read about the freeport in the likes of Private Eye, the more she was inspired to write.

When 'Ghostly Kisses Live at Le Grand Salon' appeared on my YouTube homepage, it was like a breath of fresh air amidst the algorithmic chaos.
sleepy draftsPublished 2 months ago in BeatThat Funk Music
Day 27/366 days of writing and publishing pieces in 2024. I have a deep affinity for funk and disco music. Sometimes I wonder if I might have been in my 20s in 1974 and part of the scene. Perhaps I died and had a quick reincarnation, being born in 1975. Because the way I vibe with those genres doesn't really make sense.

Hina Tahir42Published 2 days ago in BeatMusic for Bugs
Background YouTube is filled with aesthetic playlists and soundscapes meant to capture every vibe and micro niche imaginable. From imagining you're a princess secretly researching about your mother while plotting to overthrow your father to magic volcanoes to imagining yourself in the Star Wars universe and more, there is something to capture every inch of the imagination. As a writer, these can all be quite invaluable when trying to immerse myself in the worlds I create. I did, of course, pull these examples from my own playlists.
