RE: Spread the Vibes Music Challenge (Not-Challenge): Lorelei by The Cocteau Twins

in Music4 years ago

WOOHOO... super nice you took up the invite! Great post you've created and love the music selection and the more than a few words you wrote around it. I never heard of Cocteau Twins, but now I have listened to them on my Spotify to listen to their other work. Am wondering if I can either agree with you or not regarding the single song that does it while the rest may not do much. But I know very well that effect, I can have that with quite a few artists. Some songs just trigger my body and brain left and right, while others are just what it is: music but nothing special to my senses and brains.

Regarding the 'Not' part.... well, more or less twofold, or maybe even threefold:

  1. a challenge in our HIVE community usually has all sort of rules, this one doesn't have any, more guidelines (note: the number of users to invite is not defined in the guidelines :)),
  2. HIVE challenges usually have monetary rewards associated with them, and a selection of the top x or some winner, this one doesn't have any of that (though entries may find some nice votes on their work),
  3. the idea of this 'challenge' is to get interaction going, and for those who post their own music, or the music they love, to write a bit about it, or around it. I was hoping for those who usually don't write a lot, or just a little, to write a bit more since when we bring our stories (of any kind) it becomes easier for the reader to react to it with some meaningful comment which (hopefully) results in more conversations.

Now, to the question, you asked yourself, why you dreamed about the music you shared. It can't be anything else than this invite you got for Spread the Vibes challenge. Your subconscious must have told you through your mind and soul, you had to rediscover this track, spend time finding it, and giving you the urge to pick up the invite {LOL}

Sort:  

Hahaha, you're right, the guidelines didn't mention the number of people you could invite. I guess I just imagined three there, as all good things come in threes, and so on. And as for the monetary incentives... they tend to be so low that you'd probably earn more with the post itself, underscoring your last point, that the point of a contest is really the interaction.

Anyway, I can totally see it: After being challenged, this song emerged out of the depth of my unconscious to get me to actually write this post.

Thanks again for the cool challenge! !BEER

Hips.... Hips.... Drank the beer in one go {dizzly in my head} Thanks for the great feeling 🙃
