UPDATE: CONTEST WINNER DECLARED!!!




So after much pondering and some argument the song title is... MEMENTO!




Well, without the exclamation mark. Our reasoning? The song is all about looking back and reminders of our past and we felt that "Memento" was a direct yet not completely obvious explanation of that. So who is our winner? Well, because Carole Yue first brought up the similarly titled movie and Andrew Aikenhead submitted it as his entry we're going to give them both the prize, thanks guys!
______________________________________________


We've been playing this song live for a bit now and have yet to come up with a name for it, so we thought it might be fun to let everyone else have a crack at it! We threw a mic and a camera up at rehearsal and recorded the song which we currently refer to as "Idea 60." Lyrics are below if that helps!

Contest starts today and ends at the end of August (just over two weeks) and the winner will get a disc, a shirt, some extra little prizes, a mention on the next album if this song makes it on, a copy of that album, and four hugs and a round of high fives from the band. And pride, lots of pride.

If you're shy, or you just don't want to share your brilliant idea with jerks like Steve, you can email us at info@cityofglassmusic.com with SONG CONTEST as the subject line. Thanks and good luck!

LYRICS:

From the start the morning's always stranger
Broken heart, the evening seems to linger on
Scared there's nothing underneath
When you find the sea
Chasing strings of memory
Back to where you started

So we sing for it, sing for it
And think of all the times we had, times we had
Find it in a photograph, disconnect
And dream of all the times we had

Fall apart, you were always clever
To the start, before the night is fading, fading

So we sing for it, sing for it
And think of all the times we had, times we had
Find it in a photograph, disconnect
And dream of all the times we had

  • Past Imperfect

  • Although these might be "cheezy," I can think of a few: "Strings of Memory," "Reminiscent," or "Nostalgic"

  • not that creative or original a name, but "Photograph"
