    Halloween 2019

    Well its been a quick minute, but we are back and we are here to stay, maybe. When we last left you we promised you Season 3, but instead we bring you the Halloween Special of 2019. Some of you may ask, why? Well the answer is simple,, it was easier to commit to a one-off. Are we rusty, yep. Did we have technical difficulties, oh yeah. Do you need to write in and tell us, nope. In all seriousness, we almost lost this one, but we found an earlier draft and one song starts a little late on this one, and one song is too loud to hear our sweet bits, but we hope in the most ghoulish time of the year you will forgive us, So here is the 2019 Halloween Special of the Songwriter Showdown.

    The penultimate episode to Season 2 has arrived, and if you love cheesy football team entrance music, you are in for a treat from Phil. On the other hand, if you have been hankering for a song that fluctuates between A flat minor and A flat Dorian, well Pete's got your back. If you just showed up to hear the 5-star reviews, well then we got you covered there. The only thing this episode really lacks is any facts.

    I real treat this week. Neither of us really knew the songs and we don't even talk all that much about them. In the end its a spectacular episode that needs to be heard to be believed. Dan tells a great story and Christian continues to deny knowing anything about music. Don't forget that 5-star review you promised us. @SongShowPod @DimestoreFilms www.OWHFilm.com Atomixcafe.com @AtomixDan @HeyJealousy

Horrible click bait copy aside, this week both songs breached the top 5, but for the life of me I can't understand why.

    Episode 4 delivers in a big way.   A local critic has gone on record as saying, "Yes, I heard they were doing a podcast."  You do not want to be left behind, and from the looks of it you are not.  50 Ways is amazing, especially if you like sad songs mixed in with your rhymin disco hits; and thank the good lord Only the Good Die Young wasn't a reggae tune.  Subscribe, leave us reviews, send us feedback however you see fit...
