Nominator: Snake (1/15)

(9, 8.5, 9 [upgraded to a 10, then upgraded again to a 10.5])

[I'll try to find something to say about this when I have to do the actual writeup.]

Self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and rampant drug use. I'm honestly a bit amazed that I like it even half as much as I do. There's a certain raw honesty in the lyrics and the general messages are relatable, even if the specifics are wildly different. Ultimately, I think I like this song. A lot. Even though I really, really shouldn't.

[Final Thoughts: This song always had a respectable placement (46/300 is still impressive), but it did get a boost by being exactly what I needed to hear recently. I sorta destroyed a friendship by saying some really stupid things recently, so... there's a lot in the song that I obviously don't relate to, but there's just enough of the song that is relevant that it helped me process some emotions.

...and don't waste time worrying; we'd grown apart a long time ago and only spoke a handful of times a year anyway, so it wasn't a horribly traumatic experience, and it was a month ago so I'm over it.]

===================

Wait, the big match ended in a draw? BOO! REFUND! AEW! ETC!

Third Place [TIE]!

Lowest Song: I Hate Your Kids (257th Place)

Highest Song: I Think I'm OKAY (3rd Place)

You have a knack for finding songs that I want without knowing that I want them.

I wouldn't have thought horror games could have anything I like, but I keep rambling about "Walk On Vanity Ruins" to anyone who will listen.

I thought Alice in Chains would be too dark or violent, but played the entire album on an endless loop for months.

I never could have guessed a song like "Satan's a Woman" would even exist. And we just covered OKAY.

Our tastes don't overlap very often (I think you had quite a few mid-tier songs this time?), but you usually find one or two songs that are 10 or better.



As for the last second draw that I'm sure will be controversial, I didn't feel comfortable picking one at this juncture. Duvet was originally in third place when the topic started and is a song that I frequently went back to; OKAY was a late challenger for the title of third place, that probably wouldn't have been in the discussion were it not for changing circumstances making it more impactful than it was during the initial ranking process.

Both songs have valid claims to the position. Since I'm not content awarding a victory to either song, we get a non-finish.

...Huh, I'm just now remembering that I claimed way back at sign-ups that I could have a three way tie for third place if I wanted. I was half-joking and half-referencing last topic where I was tempted to have the Dagothwave/Mentos/Arcturus trio tie for third. Welp, guess that absolves me of any lingering guilt about this decision, I apparently warned you of this months ago.
