The theme for week 7 is:
Right Place and/or Right Time
To enter week 6 you need to write a song that is about or involves the phrase Right Place and/or Right Time.
It can be a metaphor or a lyric in the song as long as the song somehow relates to the theme Right Place and/or Right Time
The song must have a theme that includes Right Place and/or Right Time
To qualify as an entry to this week's challenge all the rules listed below must be followed and it must be a new song written for specifically for this challenge.
The first tag of your post must be: openmic
The second tag of your post music be: openmicsongwriters
Recommended tags:
openmic openmicsongwriters music contest guitar
openmic openmicsongwriters music contest guitar
The deadline to submit your entry is Monday. 8th of January 2018. Please have the song posted by then so we have time to review them all.
@meno graciously offered to sponsor this fantastic, music-making, creativity-sparking, songwriting challenge by providing a new guitar with hard case to one, lucky winner!
The contest will run for 8-weeks and each week we will provide a theme. You will write a new song about or related to that theme.
This challenge will require you to write up to 8 new songs, one per week. This is the challenge.
We will provide the theme each week and make it a bit uncommon so songwriters will not be able to pull previously written songs from their repertoire.
They will actually have to write a song based on the theme we provide and have a little less than a week to write each song.
So, are you up for the challenge? A shot to win that guitar?
Keep reading to discover how it works.
Open Mic Songwriters Challenge Rules
Following these rules is very important so your posts can get curated, upvoted, and seen by the Open Mic community.
The contest will run for 8 weeks. Each week will have a new theme. Songwriters will write one new song each week using the theme we provide.
Songwriters can join at any time, but the sooner you join the more points you'll accumulate, making your chances to win a little better. Don't worry, be happy.
Submit Original Music Written For This Challenge Only and related to each week's theme that we'll provide.
You can enter Steemit Open Mic and the Open Mic Songwriters Challenge with the same entry. Just say it is for both at the start of your video. Add a link to your post to both contests. Better yet, make 2 posts, one for each contest.
No covers, no parodies, or no cover versions will be considered as a valid entry.
You can sing in any language but the lyrics must be posted on your post in the language it is sung in plus in English using Google Translate.
OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 7 must be the start of the title of the post, this is key so that judges can easily find the entries.
You must say “OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 7” at the beginning of your video so we know you are really playing live for us for this contest (Adding an edit to a prerecorded video just to add the words is not good enough. It must be said out loud by the person performing the song just prior to performing it. Recording the words and editing it to the beginning of a video still does not prove it was really you)
Live performances only. No studio recorded tracks. Recording quality is not being judged. You can record it on your phone.
openmic & openmicsongwriters must be your first and second tag respectively. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
Add a link to your entry post to the comments of the contest post published by @luzcypher so we know you entered. That's this post.
Lyrics must be included in your post If the song is sung in another language, the lyrics must be posted in both English and the language it is sung in.
Upvote the Open Mic Songwriters Challenge weekly post posted by @luzcypher
Give a high five to @meno because this is SO COOL!
All songs must be about the week’s theme, entries not related to the theme will not be considered as valid.
What About The Prizes?
All rules must be followed to qualify for the prize.
Winner of the contest takes home a brand new Grace Harbor Acoustic/Electric Guitar with a hard case. You can have a look and a listen to this beautiful guitar in this video.
Grace Harbor Guitars GHD-100CE
Shipping is included in the Continental United States. If you reside outside the U.S. he will ship it to the courier of your choice and you will need to pay any other import or shipping charges.

Oh no, I know a song with exactly this line in it. Now I have to erase my memory of this song to come up with something new!
Is this what you're thinkin' bout, Geena? Ha! Cool tune if it is... :-)
I IMMEDIATELY thought of this! LOVE this track and that album....I bought it on vinyl for my munm this christmas
Cool! I'll have to pick up a copy on vinyl for my niece - she got a turn-table this Christmas!
It wasn't but thank you, now I know TWO songs I need to forget! 😒

I definitely thought of this too. Memory erase...
I must admit that I was rather instrumental in fashioning this weeks theme... It wasn't until a few moments after everyone signed off on it that I thought of Dr. John! Ha-haa! It's all good though - everyone is doing a FANTASTIC job in their interpretations!

Here's my entry @luzcypher
Hey everyone, here's my entry:
https://mspsteem.com/openmic/@bennettitalia/openmic-songwriters-challenge-week-7-in-the-right-place-by-bennettitalia
So this week I ended up with 2 songs about right place/right time. What's interesting to me about these songs is that they seem to be giving exactly the opposite advice. One says: "go for it!", the other says: "no way!" It's a bit like the cartoons where somebody has a devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other.
Except I'm not sure which is which 😅
So I'm entering one in the Songwriters' Challenge, and the other in Open Mic. The one featured here is called "In the Right Place". The other, in Open Mic, is called "Tangled". Here is a link: https://steemit.com/openmic/@bennettitalia/open-mic-week-67-tangled-an-original-song-by-bennettitalia
This recording is the first take I did. It's not the tightest rendition, but I liked the rawness of it, so I used it.
Boundless thanks to all those involved in the open mic and songwriters' challenge, I can't thank you guys enough. This is SO much fun!!!
As an aside, if anyone has any opinions on which is the devil and which is the angel, I'd love to hear them!!!
Life has happened and it looks like I won't get the open mic song out 'til tomorrow morning.

Thank you, @fra182... Good submission, my friend!
Is there anything wrong with my latest video sir @luzcypher? Please Check and suggest me some correction! I beg..
Where is the link to your post/entry? Where are your thoughts as to how this song came about within your creative process? Where is the accompanying music? Where are the lyrics associated with this weeks theme?... Those are just a few of the things that I'd be looking for answers to... Thanks for your entry!

No worries....
Cool, man - but you're still going to have to take your quality up several notches in order to garnish any respect on this venue, my friend. Otherwise - you will simply be ignored.
