It has been a while since I last undertook a musical challenge. Song Fu has passed on, but in its place has risen SpinTunes. This is a similar set of challenges to Song Fu, but with a judging panel rather than a public vote. I missed the deadline for the competition itself, but did complete a song nevertheless. Here it is:-
You can download the tune here or visit the album page where all the tracks submitted to the competition can be downloaded in a single file. All for free!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Thanks Russ, your feedback is welcome!
Yes, that is an eBow that you hear – the rest of the instrumentation is fairly standard – bass, electric guitar, piano and drums.
I have sent the lyrics through now that you’ve reminded me, so they should appear on the Bandcamp page, but here they are as well:
[Verse1]
There’s a boy scout, a bat and an Amazon
Some guy with wings on his head
A bunch of dudes with ring fetishes
And a Robin Hood wannabe
They’re the team who’re supposed to be
Keeping us safe in our bed
[Chorus]
But they don’t want me in
Their super-team
They’ve got all the powers they need
(So they say)
They don’t care that I can
Move planets with a thought
“We’ve got your number
We might call you some day…”
[Verse 2]
There’s a defrosted patriot, a drunk tin man,
A wife-beating giant-come-ant
A thunder god with a boomerang hammer
And a Robin Hood wannabe
They’re the team that’s supposed to be
Protecting when webcrawlers can’t
[Chorus]
Enjoyed “They Don’t Want Me.” Nice to hear more shadows, even now. Cool instrumentation! Are you playing an eBow? Could you get Travis “Spintown” Langworthy a copy of the lyrics, so he can put them on the bandcamp page? Currently your song is the only one without lyrics there.
