Hey, look at that, our first 10! This is the lowest placing song to net a 10. Here, the score disproportionately tilts the overall score. I love everything about the execution of this. The different vocal parts harmonize beautifully, the ebb and flow of the song tells a story at 1:40 the vocals surge in intensity, then gradually fade back down again as the verse goes on. Then, the next verse is at a more restful pace. I love a good choral piece. I even love the static crackling all throughout, which lends it this sort of ancient, holy quality.

The rest of the scores werent as high. But I was right there with this song, admiring its execution, the whole time.

This is a great pop song. Ruth Pointers voice is on point, and the lyrics work almost as well outside Oliver & Company. The whole production is super 80s, particularly the backing, with its hilariously 80s sax, and the general sleekness of the percussion. Like Superman, this is very much a product of time, but it still holds up well.

Apologies for the double ping, Raetsel! I will post screenshots of all the eliminated nominators (yes, there will be more than one) after this batch of songs is done.
