If it were any softer, it could be a rather meditative song... but it's too much of a classic rock song to work for that. It's stuck between being CLASSIC ROCK and INSIGHTFUL INTROSPECTION and doesn't really excel at being either, getting stuck in a sort of limbo. ==================== ==================== #268 [TIE] [#282]: Name: Hold Your Head Up Origin: Christina Grimmie Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y53owTcFjpU" data-time=" Nominator: Underleveled / darkx (7/7) (1, 1, see the comments on the song this one is tied with) [...No.] I'd rather not comment on this one, but since I don't have much choice... 1: I don't feel comfortable judging this type of song. Something released posthumously to raise money for charity? You basically have to be a monster to criticize it. And not the fun, furry, Undertale sort of monster either. 2: I'm really not looking for songs with this kinda message right now. Not that all the nominations need to be bleak and depressing, but...less like this at any rate. It leaves me disinterested in rating the song, discussing the circumstances of its release, or listening to it at all. Which isn't fair; she was talented and the song is probably good if you want to hear it, but... it's just not for me. ==================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:927668978] in Raetsel ra...
