Song for you - she -

[I do love distortions, so this comes close to greatness... but its missing something. Not a fan of the way the song seems to just stop.]

This is so close to being something I'd give an automatic 10 to. I love how the song unexpectedly slows down and then becomes more static-y, distorted, and broken. I can almost feel reality breaking down and it's so relaxing... but then the song kinda goes back to normal afterwards? Like, I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had stopped earlier when it felt like the song was breaking apart.

As is... I do like it. A lot. But it's not perfect.

[I feel like I should give this a lower score, what with my low tolerance for repetition and the sheer number of times never gonna is said here, but its catchy and I actually dont dislike it.]

I still can't identify why I like this song.

It's not the video; the video is fine, but setting it an abandoned Toys R Us is a depressing reminder of the passage of time and not going to earn you any points (though I also didn't deduct any).

Not the lyrics; they say "never gonna" 31 times (the full "never gonna love another like you" is said 20 times, so no, only counting instances of the full line doesn't help much)--and when they're not repeating themselves, it's still a fairly standard love song.

Not the singer; they remind of the singer of Salted Caramel Ice Cream and we know how well that song did.

Not Annie; nothing wrong with her (that I know of, I haven't actually looked into her), but you basically need the video to have at least one non-human (or at least an animated human) to get free points due to bias for the video. We've got ponies, virtual singers, crabs, princesses, videos with dogs in them...I'm sure she's fine for a normal human, but she's not getting any extra points based on her appearance.

Not really interested in crowbars or smashing glass, so that's not it either.

And yet, inexplicably, I find myself enjoying the song quite a bit.

...I suppose I like the repeated refrain asking "what if we were real". It's not a particularly deep message, but I suppose it's one I'm always drawn to. I highly doubt that's it though; or at least I'd be disappointed in myself if it was that simple...

Well, doesn't matter. I like what I like, even if I don't know the reason.
