Posted: September 8, 2010 Filed under: competitions Leave a comment »
We’d like to introduce you to Naomi Fearn, the budding geek song writer who won our Summer Song Writing Contest. (Results announced yesterday in the September Podcast).
Here’s Naomi’s winning entry, UnGoogleable You:
UnGoogleable You – Naomi Fearn
Judges’ comments:
“A total treat, the teenage laurie anderson and bill gates dancing at the senior prom. Touching, tender, nerd and sweet.”
“I’d buy an album of this. Wonderful structure, very nice original melody, extra geek & smile points for the 140 character solo. Really nice tempo & melody variation.”
“A fully-formed indie pop song, this wouldn’t be out of place on the playlist of an independent radio station. And it has the potential to become the new stalking anthem that could finally replace “Every Breath You Take” by Police – at least, I hope so…”
“Pulls at the heartstrings as well as the nerd… strings. Fab.”
Naomi’s website is here and as she says in the song, you can easily find her Twitter feed. Naomi also asked us to mention David Deery, who helped her record the song.
We also want to mention a couple of other song writers who didn’t quite win, but did impress us muchly with their creations:
HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO: Andrew Pontzen
The Astronomer’s Love Song – Andrew Pontzen
THE GRAPHIC SCIENCE MOST CONTRIVED RHYME PRIZE GOES TO: Rishi Nag
“Growing 29000 plants was not the only trick, You still had to perform some Mendel arithmetic”
Read Rishi’s blog post about writing his song, including lyrics, here.
AND THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO: Graphic Science for sponsoring that prize.
