Song
Ends on
We're looking for work that comes out of "song." It might be a particular song, or it might be a group of songs. Maybe it's an era of songwriting. In any case "song" should be the launching point. Birdsong, waxing lyrical, harmony, chorale. We're looking for pieces that treat song not only as "music," but as a gateway to memory, confession, protest, or revelation.
Some guidelines:
We're most interested in writing that explores "song" as backdrop or as metaphor. Or maybe a song or songs is what gives a structure to your piece.
We welcome essays, fiction, poetry, hybrid work, video, or audio.
We are not interested in "music reviews." The analysis should be personal or cultural, not about the song itself. Prose should be no longer than 3500 words.
