The Song Thesis Pitch Challenge

Distill your song into an irrefutable narrative one-sheet in five days.

Pressure-test your song structure, isolate its emotional resonance, and build a single-page creative brief ready for curators and supervisors.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Isolate your hook's core thesis. Write down the single emotional shift the song creates in ten words or fewer.
  2. Day 2Audit the composition. Ensure the central motif enters within twenty seconds and eliminate any redundant bars in the intro.
  3. Day 3Use an AI prompt to analyze your full lyric sheet. Extract the top five emotional keywords, two contrasting themes, and a one-sentence logline.
  4. Day 4Execute an emotional resonance gut-check. Play the track for three non-musicians without context and record the exact feeling they report within thirty seconds.
  5. Day 5Draft the creative section of your one-page pitch: logline, sonic touchstones, emotional payoff, and lyrical theme.
