FREEDOM & CONTROL
This round is all about contrast: the tension between liberation and limitation.
FREEDOM: A song that captures release, rebellion, possibility, or the wide-open feeling of choice. This could mean breaking out, breaking rules, or simply breathing freely. It’s the anthem of the unbound.
CONTROL: A song that represents structure, restraint, pressure, or power — whether it’s external forces tightening the grip, or self-control holding things in place. It can be about dominance, discipline, or feeling stuck.
Interpret this however you like — emotionally, politically, personally, metaphorically. Let lyrics, tone, history, or your own perspective lead the way.
Song choices must be in by 24:00 on Sunday, 18 May. No late entries allowed.
