Hey folks, how are y’all doing?
Okay, so something occurred to me recently.
Everyone likes music, right? Some form of music?
Whether it's Classical or Bollywood or Rap or Jazz or Blues or Opera or Folk or Dance or Ghazals or Bhajans?
The sheer mind-boggling number of genres there are - there's got to be something for everyone, right?
Like the group ABBA sang, "Without a song and a dance what are we?"
Music is Life.
Music is Emotion.
Music soothes your heart and enriches your soul.
No one can hate music, right?
And if you do, well then, all I can say is..
"This ain't your zone!"
But for all you music lovers, it's also a fun way to interact with people, bond over the songs you enjoy and make new friends along the way!
So what if we took this universal love for music and turned it into a fun game?
Sounds exciting?
We bring you
Let's go over the Rules for this game quickly.
The game is simple.
All you have to do is post a song with some connection to the previous song posted.
For example, if I post Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls just wanna have fun', there are several ways you can make a connection.
You can look for a song connection to the overall vibe or mood of the song - girls hanging out and singing or partying. In other words, connect with what's happening in the video of the song.
Or you can connect to the lyrics.
Pick a word from the song, say, 'girls', and you can post the Pet Shop Boys' 'West End girls', or Billy Joel's 'Uptown girl' or a Hindi song, 'Sheher ki ladki'.
Or you can go in a different direction and choose the word 'fun', or the Hindi word for fun - Masti. Eg: 'Masti ki pathshala'.
Or it can be the idea of wanting/ wishing for something that's conveyed in the song such as, ‘I want to break free’ Or ‘I wanna dance with somebody’ or ‘Dil chahta hai’.
You can also make tangential connections: Since this song is about fun and happiness and girls, you can choose to post something that's the opposite of it.
Eg: 'Boys of Summer', or 'Let's hear it for the boy'.
Or you can take the opposite of ‘fun’ and post something like 'Misery' or a Hindi song like ‘Raahi manwa dukh ki chinta’.
There are hundreds of possibilities for a connection.
The only rule is that the song you post needs to have some connection to the previous song you quote.
When posting a song segue, always quote the song you’re connecting to and mention how you drew that connection. You also need to mention the song title, the name of the artist & the movie name (if applicable).
As given below
Connex: Put down how you connected to the previous song after quoting the song title and name of the artist
Title and artist of the song you’re posting
Girls just wanna have fun - Cyndi Lauper
[Embed YT link]
Add lyrics
This is required in case your link is zone-restricted. Quoting the previous song is also required so people understand which song you’ve connected to.
Just the name of the artist and song will do, you don’t have to quote the YT link. In fact, it’s better if you don’t to avoid overloading the page.
Not doing either will disqualify your song from the game.
Anyone can choose to take a song train or segue in any direction they want to.
So for example, if someone posts 'West End Girls' to 'Girls just wanna have fun', a third person can either continue the connection from here or they can choose to go back to 'Girls just wanna have fun' and begin a new connect/ song segue or do both.
Any genre is allowed: Hollywood, Bollywood, pop, rock, rap, the only condition being that the song has to have words in English or Hindi.
Just make sure you're following IF CoC at all times, so be careful when you're posting lyrics.
You can tag your friends every time you post, so there's maximum involvement & if there's someone, in particular, you'd like to respond to your post.
Makes sense?
That’s all there is to it, just keep making song connections.
Do read the FAQs in the next post and if you have any more questions, hit me up on this thread and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Here's your chance to post the songs you love and bond over them with other people who do too, or introduce them to the uninitiated & listen to songs/ genre(s) you've never heard before and expand your musical universe!
Who knows, you might end up discovering some life-and-soul-altering music right here!
OKKAAAAYYYY, let's Conne x tune!
But before I start you off with a song, do take a moment to go over the FAQs in the next post.
