Fluttershy_Pony 10/11/19 8:04:35 PM #388:	Bane_Of_Despair posted... And my 4 remaining songs That should be 3, right? I think you may have missed Futures in post #352 as, IIRC, that's the only elimination you didn't have a reaction to. (to UF8) I appreciate the extra links about Ruri and will get to them when I get to all the other links. (I should probably start gathering those on some sort of list...) ==================== #53 [#67]: (Something about driving in the night. I don't know how to properly translate it) Origin: Tat Ming Pair Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSgcdPrc8L0" data-time=" Nominator: handsomeboy (5/15) (6.5, 8, 9.3) [My kind of music video. I love cities at night, so honestly, I went into a bit of a trance watching the videosong was nice, but I didnt pay as much attention as I should. I just enjoyed the ride and let my memories take me back... Lyrics are hard to pin downthe automatic translations arent entirely clear, but lines like I feel cold and frozen and reason has lost control dont paint a happy picture. Not that I was looking for happiness.] I believe this was the only Tat Ming Pair song that I couldn't find anything about; with "1+1=14" I couldn't find any information that I couldn't figure out on my own, but I can't find anyone discussing this song in any language. There's a few scattered references to it being a very good representation of their style, with it being several people's first introduction to their music, but no one seems interested in analyzing the song at all. ...Or if they do, I can't figure out what combination of words to search for to find anything. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Turning to automatic translations results in an odd experience: It starts with lines that clearly did not translate correctly, resulting in things that are barely coherent Lost has received a warning like I'm going to hunt storm in pestering my heart But then it suddenly shifts to being almost disturbingly direct: The night is flowing. I feel cold and frozen. I am running in my eyes. I am lonely. I am fooled. I have lost my control. I am in a mess and bump into the car. The shift in translation, going from obscure metaphors that have lost any sense of meaning to just directly stating what an emotional mess the singer is, is one of the most jarring experiences of any song on the list (in a good way). The effect is only increased by the inate lyrical dissonance (this feels like a catchy 80s pop song) & also the relaxing nature of the video. Without any translation, it's like "oh hey, a pleasing 80s pop song with a relaxing video". Much, much different experience with even the garbled lyrics being available which is most likely responsible for the large jump in score from the first impression to now. ==================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:928649773] in Raetsel ra...
