And by the way.
By now, at least 32* artists have publicly released their #Fedivision2024 song already. For my own use (my shopping list), I keep track of the releases in this clip:
(*) This number will change as I update the collection. I'll check for new releases now and then, but please, if you're a #fedivision contestant who released the track without me noticing it, please let me know. Thank you in advance 💚
Still poking thru #fedivision participants' other music today. In addition to "Fire Me Into a Shooting Star" (by far the biggest ear worm for me), I also picked up the lovely "Our Stars Collide" EP from @Sakti
And indeed it's meant as a kind of ironic answer to Eurovision. This time with real human musicians, not necessarily and like 100% of the time not sponsored by the record industry or battling super producers.
Often but not necessarily be done among amateurs or semi amateurs, always 100% dedicated to their own music. And it's happening here, within the #Fediverse. There is a voting system to find a winner. However anyone taking part is already a recognized as a winner.
That should give you an idea. I'm not associated with the organizers, I'm just one of the participants. I hope I explained this right, else I'd ask @futzle to correct me, or getting more into detail - as she is one of the main figures of this positive movement.
Congrats to ALL of those who participated in #Fedivision! I'm generally speaking opposed to competitions as a whole, particularly in the arts, but Fedivision is such a positive, comradely & not all that serious event that it's impossible not to enjoy. Not only that, I've also discovered great new #music and fedi #musicians to follow - so it's a win-win in my book. Particular thanks to the organisers @futzle@zatnosk & @TQ - fantastic behind the scenes work!
All Zombies Go To Heaven Lyrics 3rd Place #Fedivision 2024
~ #Dgar
I got clouds in my head and I’m feeling kinda dizzy.
My eyes kinda hurt and my hair is all frizzy.
This jacket smells bad and I stepped in something squishy.
I’m feeling kinda hungry, so I gotta get busy.
Walking to the beat and everything is gritty.
Boarded up houses but the gardens look pretty.
Get with the crew and we start to get giddy.
We’re drawn down the street by the promise of the city.
I may fall today,
But I don’t need no confession.
It doesn’t hurt to pray,
But I’ve still got my depression.
Searching for some brains,
It’s kinda my obsession.
I think it’s safe to say,
All zombies go to heaven.
You can see the meat hanging out to dry.
They think they’re safe and believe that lie.
But behind their walls they start to cry.
They see us coming and we won’t die.
We are the hoard and we grow every day.
Trying to make it in a world decayed.
We can’t talk. Got nothing to say,
Paying the price that we all have to pay.
I may fall today,
But I don’t need no confession.
It doesn’t hurt to pray,
But I’ve still got my depression.
Searching for some brains,
It’s kinda my obsession.
I think it’s safe to say,
All zombies go to heaven.
All zombies go to heaven.
I may fall today,
But I don’t need no confession.
It doesn’t hurt to pray,
But I’ve still got my depression.
Searching for some brains,
It’s kinda my obsession.
I think it’s safe to say,
All zombies go to heaven.
All zombies go to heaven.
All zombies,
Go to heaven.
#fedivision2024 is over, time to pursue new projects. Thanks for the incredible 15 votes we got for our song! Also, we are very grateful to the organizers, giving us this wonderful event once a year!
It was a lot of fun, both as artist and as listener; especially the love, spirit and community of it all. See you next round!
You can now find ”Living The Dream”, my official #fedivision2024 entry which made the top 10 (at number 9) out of 72 tracks \o/, at the following fine locations:
Monsters'n'Mermaids made it into the #fedivision 'top 40' 👍😊
I was totally expecting the famous "Nul points" so a big thanks to all in #fedivision2024 that slipped a vote my way. The whole thing was great fun and "big lurve y'all" is due to everyone involved. As dear FZ said, #music is the best.
This link 'should' let anyone that wants to listen and/or download for free at my Nextcloud server... if not let me know.
.. I've just rediscovered @herr_irrtum 's wonderful track "The Cat" from last year and added that, along with a couple of others I found but it's looking quite sparse at the moment!
We're up to ten #Fedivision tracks in the playlist so far, and that includes four of this year's top six!
It's a darn good playlist so far, but there must be more out there.. anyone know any other Fedivision tracks, past or present, that live on SoundCloud?
