S07 • E01 submitting a song sent by Frieda Livêrie, DSR S4 winner
”Who is she, who is she, who is she to say goodbye?"
"The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra" - Anna von Hausswolff (certainly not referring to second boot Electra Abundance who coincidentally was in the same season as Frieda)
Frieda Livêrie has submitted some of the most unique songs ever in DSR, and that aspect helped seal her a well-deserved victory in Season 4. Her submissions have generally been "spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before." I went for the most captivating and memorable song choice. Indeed, "The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra" is just so fascinating and out of the ordinary, which is quintessential to who Frieda is. The amount of anguish Anna delivers with this song is so powerful and spell-binding. Even disregarding the original brief from Episode 7, the song on its own stands out as a work of visual and musical art. Actually, it's a masterpiece.
This song is greatly remembered by many members of the forum community. It would be a disservice not to send it.
LYRICS:
My feet are not enough My feet are not enough My feet are not enough My feet are not enough
To save me To save me
His search is not enough His search is not enough
To find me To find me
My love is not enough My love is not enough
To save me To save me
You search through the forest and the bottomless sea And you cry Push the trees, push the sky, push the air aside
You look at their faces and their meaningless loss And you cry Who is she, who is she, who is she to say good bye?
Bye.

target one 🎯 RETURN OF LEGENDSQueen Assigned: Dyslexya TLC - No ScrubsSent on Episode 7 - Sing off against Cand IceWhy I chose this song as my legendary queen song: This was Dyslexya second sing off song in the season, even though was against the returning queen Cand Ice she wasn't going sit on her "broke ass" and let Cand Ice "think (s)he's fly" and won the sing off with this amazing 90s classic. And also this is no doubt one of my favorite choices of Dyslexya!Lyrics: Oh, oh A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly And is also known as a busta (busta) Always talkin' about what he wants And just sits on his broke ass So no, I don't want your number No, I don't want to give you mine and No, I don't want to meet you nowhere No, I don't want none of your time and No, I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me Well a scrub checkin' me But his game is kinda weak And I know that he cannot approach me 'Cause I'm looking like class, and he's looking like trash Can't get wit' a deadbeat ass So no, I don't want your number No, I don't want to give you mine and No, I don't want to meet you nowhere No, I don't want none of your time and No, I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me If you don't have a car and you're walking Oh yes son, I'm talking to you If you live at home with your momma Oh yes son, I'm talking to you If you have a shorty that you don't show love Oh yes son, I'm talking to you Wanna get me with no money Oh no, I don't want no No scrub, no scrub No scrub, no scrub No, I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me See, if you can't spatially expand my horizon Then that leaves you in the class with scrubs, never rising I don't find it surprising And if you don't have the G's To please me and bounce me here to the coast of overseas So, let me give you something to think about Inundate your mind with intentions to turn you out Can't forget the focus on the picture in front of me You as clear as DVD on digital TV screens Satisfy my appetite with something spectacular Check your vernacular, and then I get back to ya With diamond-like precision Insatiable is what I envision Can't detect acquisition From your friend's Expedition Mr. Big Willy, if you really want to know Ask Chilli, could I be a silly ho? Not really T-Boz and all my senoritas Are steppin' on your FILA's But you don't hear me, though No, I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side Of his best friend's ride Trying to holla at me

"SIPHON" by Zola Jesus Sent by Stan Kan McCann in S5E1
2:53+
So I was assigned a winner which I thought would be an advantage, but then I remembered William's horrendous songs (justice for Mariah). This one is by an artist I enjoy and i hope you do too. | LYRICS
You write a note, we write a eulogy You drain it out, we clean it up for free Anything you need, we're at the door Just call our name and we're at the floor Waiting for the call 'Cause we'd rather clean the blood of a living man We'd rather lean over, hold your warm, warm hand We'd love to clean the blood of a living man We'd hate to see you give into those cold, dark nights inside your head Was it a lie or did I see the light in your eyes across the table? Or did you play the part of the listening? We just want to save you Pull you from those dark nights We just want to show you there's more to life 'Cause we'd rather clean the blood of a living man We'd rather lean over, hold your warm, warm hand We'd love to clean the blood of a living man We'd hate to see you give into those cold, dark nights inside your head Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out 'Cause we'd rather clean the blood of a living man We'd rather lean over, hold your warm, warm hand We'd love to clean the blood of a living man We'd hate to see you give into those cold, dark nights inside your head Inside your head, inside your head Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out

"KEATON" by Lor Sent by Andrélle in S3E7
1:18+
There were so many entries to choose the amazing, iconic and two times robbed Andrélle since she was in to seasons and won many challenges. However I chose one of my favorite of her repertory that I feel it reflects also my essence. A beautiful song with an amazing atmosphere, defintely one of the best entries that portrays the icon she was
| LYRICS
Slide in the glader, I’m outsider, so I’ll jump Clouds undercovered, rediscovered by the bump Fall down the Island of silence, undersell Words swallow notions and emotions start to swell
Slippery sidekick may be outbid for a buck Undersky dreamer, lay down and dream about our lives Fall down the Island of silence, undersell Words swallow notions and emotions start to swell

"Frozen" by Madonna Sent by Tracy Martel in S2E4
3:52+
"Frozen" is the lead single from Madonna's seventh studio album Ray of Light, which is one of, if not, her best albums. "Frozen" is an electronic ballad layered with various strings and synthesizers to achieve it's haunting, fragile sound. Madonna describes the song as a song of "retaliation, fear, hate, and regret." However, she notes that the song is not addressed to a specific individual or event, but rather, addressed to humanity as a whole.
Tracy Martel sent this song in the first ever, now iconic, "Living Legends" challenge in which she was assigned "90s Madonna." She won the challenge that week, her first of three different challenge wins in season 2. However, despite winning a challenge with this song, I did not chose "Frozen" that reason. I chose the song because it was the best choice from Tracy's discography, plain and simple.
| LYRICS
You only see what your eyes want to see How can life be what you want it to be? You're frozen When your heart's not open You're so consumed with how much you get You waste your time with hate and regret You're broken When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart Mmmmmm, give yourself to me Mmmmmm, you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame And you should know I suffer the same If I lose you My heart will be broken Love is a bird, she needs to fly Let all the hurt inside of you die You're frozen When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart Mmmmmm, give yourself to me Mmmmmm, you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see How can life be what you want it to be You're frozen When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart Mmmmmm, give yourself to me Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart Mmmmmm, give yourself to me Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart |

"OPHELIA" by Marika Hackman Sent by Shemalena Gomez in AS1E01
2:46+
"Ophelia" is taken from Marika's debut studio album, We Slept at Last, serving as the album's third single. The track is one of the few tracks in the album influenced by literature, as it references the character from Hamlet. Like many of her songs, the energy and atmosphere created by this track envelops you, encouraging you to slow down and wonder at its unimposing seriousness.
Shemalena had several good songs to choose from, but I decided to go with this song. "Ophelia" was Shemalena's first entry sent during her run in All Stars 1, serving as her redemption from the original Play It Again, Dan! challenge in Season 3, where she was in the bottom 3. In my opinion, this was one of the best redemptions of the week.
| LYRICS
She who walks alone in life is she of sound mind? I am only as old as I've been told Now I'm playing for time
Darling take me to the lakeside Wash my body well I am holy now the water's hit me Broken from your spell
I was on my hands and knees Bending at the heart of me
We don't know the weight of all the words we say now In a few more years, with open ears Would you still say them aloud?
They who walk alone in life They are of sound mind We can only get hurt by things we've heard And lovers are unkind
Did you hear the sun go down? Silent as a child I found Hiding in the midnight of my soul I am ready now to let her go
She who walks alone in life is she by herself We are only as old as we've been told And I'm not ready for the shelf
Darling take me to the lakeside Lay my body down I am holy now our skin is touching Let the sun go out
I am on my hands and knees Bending at the heart of me Hiding in the midnight of my soul Please don't break this shell that I call home |

It really speaks a story and like speaks to me you know and when i was watching S02 it was genuinely a song that stood out not only in that week, but that season.And that fucking SKANK GRETA GRENFELL STOLE THE ENTRY I WAS GONNA SEND THAT FUCKING BITCH
