Dan Lee 34 Comments

Polyphony Digital is running a competition giving a lucky gamer the chance to get their name into Gran Turismo 5. All you have to do is suggest a name for the official in-game song.  If it catches the eye of Polyphony boss Kazunori Yamauchi then he will put your name in the credits.

According to NEOGAF;

“The name of the person who submitted the suggestion for the final track title name that is selected, will be included in the “Special Thanks” section of the credits in “Gran Turismo 5”.

3. Your country of residence
4. Descriptive comment regarding the music track (English only, in 150 words or less)

*Submitted suggestions that do not meet the above format will not be selected.
*Suggestions are limited to one per person.

Result Announcement:
We will be announcing the selected title suggestion within 2 weeks from the final date above.

Judging:
Judging will be performed by “Gran Turismo” series producer, Kazunori Yamauchi.”

The lyrics to the song are as follows;

“Eyes go shut
I dissipate
Into thin air leaving no trace
Distant voice
Not listening
Why don’t you just save your breath?

All of your words feel like a jail
That blocks the sun and makes me stale
Not enough gold in all the world
So why have I surrendered

To your abusive ways
The cracks have opened up to the core
Is there anywhere to go from here now?
Sick with the lies consuming our souls

Give me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted
Hold it in so long that you forget to say
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences
Here with you and my soul on display

Bite my tongue
Swallow the pain
A bit disturbed by these displays
Now we’ve got nothing to say
The silence growing deadly

So here we are drifting apart
Neither willing to drop their guard
Haven’t we got something to say?
The distance growing deadly

From years and years of pain
The cracks go deeper than we can see
Let’s take a good look at where we are now
Maybe the end’s the start that we need

Give me one reason to take the breath we breathe for granted
Hold it in so long that you forget to say
Give me one reason to remain confined within the fences
Here with you and my soul on display

Life is too precious to waste”

The email address you’ll want is [email protected]. Anyone got any good suggestions?  We like ‘About Time’ or ‘How Long?!’
