Fluttershy_Pony 09/24/19 8:55:31 PM #149: | Considering how little I understand my own tastes, there is a non-zero chance you might understand me more than I do. </.< ==================== #212 [#229]: Name: Learn to Let Go Origin: Kesha Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/1g1TeDflB6atAy7HKwrzXu?si=AXi3muzMTAOU8An68epQsw Nominator: Bane (14/15) (4, 4, 5.3 [upgraded to a 5.5 immediately before being posted]) [Its good advice, but not advice Im willing to listen to at the moment.] It's like a vastly improved version of the Christina Grimmie song from earlier in the topic, but it's still not the type of message or song I'm looking for. [Final Thoughts: It took me a while to figure out why I so drastically prefer this song over "Hold Your Head Up"--sure this doesn't have a stellar ranking, but it's well beyond that song--when both songs are dealing with similar subject matter and I don't have any real preference between the two singers. I think it's largely the perspective of the songs. Kesha's is self-reflective and first person about how she needs to let go; Christina's is about how you need to hold your head up. The message is easier to take when the singer is reflecting on their own life instead of throwing cliche messages into the void. Ultimately, it doesn't help this song tremendously, but it is enough to give it a substantial edge when comparing the songs directly. I think. Gave this song a slight numerical boost at the literal last possible second here.] ==================== ==================== #211 [#265]: Name: Piss up a Rope Origin: Ween Link: ![]() Nominator: Snake (12/15) (5.5, 2, 5.3 [also upgraded to 5.5 at the last moment]) [Humorous, but it just starts repeating itself endlessly until the joke is dead. Either come up with a new verse or end the song once youre out of material.] The joke had worn thin by the second listen, but it was saved by a YouTube comment saying that one of the background singers in the chorus sounds like Towelie. That's now the only thing I can picture and the image is funny enough that I'm back to generally liking the song. [Final Thoughts: ...Ow. The disonnance between these two songs is rather painful.] ==================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony ... Copied to Clipboard! |
