Yes, and I enjoyed both. Your video of Spitting Venom, featuring you playing an acoustic guitar and singing, was really cool! I hope you share more of your songs.
Happy songwriting,
Joseph

Last post by icystorm - Jan 19, 2026, 05:12 AMI recently rewatched Unhinged (2020). It's a wild psychological thriller about a psycho (Russell Crowe) who engages in madness that is far worse than road rage. I rate it a strong 6 of 10 stars.
6⭐ A decent movie, though it had some flaws — not bad! 🤔👍

The Bar / Re: What are you working on?
Last post by icystorm - Jan 19, 2026, 05:10 AMI'm writing a new song with a working title of The Dark Delusion of Bliss. It's intended as a song for a female vocalist to sing. I have a talented female goth vocalist from Fiverr in mind for the lead vocals.

Last post by icystorm - Jan 19, 2026, 05:08 AM@Vicki — That's sad news about your younger sister. I wish you strength in dealing with it.
I listened to both of your songs; the co-write Good Grief and your solo track, Spitting Venom. I like them! You have cool acoustic guitar skills and great vocals as usual. Nice work!
Cheers,
Joseph

The Bar / So Many Life Disturbances
Last post by Vicki - Jan 19, 2026, 03:30 AMSeems like one thing after another the past few years. Currently, my [younger] sister was admitted to hospice with stage 4 cancer metastasized down her spine. I'll be helping with her cares from time to time, may not always know when. <<sigh>> Hospice patients here mostly have to live at home.
I'm still writing, though. Did someone say beauty comes from pain? I am currently taking part in a Facebook group challenge. The group is open to anyone, I think. I don't know who runs it, but I've participated a couple of times the past two or three years.
This year I got in right at the beginning of the winter challenge. The first song prompt was "venom". The second one was "good". The first one I did alone. For the second one I acquired a co-writer. I think we'll keep going. There will be ten songs altogether. Then the group goes on hiatus until the summer challenge.
If you are interested, the co-write is here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/841675325536804
And my "venom" song is here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/916298444904490
I haven't much energy for going through posts these days. Once in a while I manage to comment on something. I'm ready for a long break from life...

Last post by icystorm - Jan 18, 2026, 06:10 PMThe very cool and talented Emma Ruth Rundle performed an awesome version of her song Hand of God.
...and she performed an earlier, live version of the song in the Oregon Woods. Both versions are excellent and showcase her amazing music beautifully!
