And let's post the top two rapidly before I have time to think better about what I'm saying. </.<

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

#2 [#8 {TIE}]:

Name: Run Away With Me
Origin: Carly Rae Jepsen

Nominator: Hannyabal (1/15)

(9, 10, 10 [later upgraded to an 11])

[This is close to greatness. The opening was one of the strongest intros in the topic and, for once, the main parts of the song didnt disappoint. I just wish the lyrics had a bit more ambiguity? Its so direct that I have a hard time losing myself in a fantasy... still, a very strong selection.]

What is that instrument in the intro and are there any other songs using it at that sort of pitch? There's something about that tone that makes me feel like melting...I'd go as far as saying the first part of this song, before she starts singing, is the best moment of any song in this topic.

I also fear this song may have officially made me a fan of hers. "Cut to the Feeling" was great, yeah yeah, but this song is a few steps beyond it. That's the problem with a 10 point system, I really need at least a "10.5" for this.

...oh it's my topic, let's just give this (and anything that gets a better rank) an 11. The system should only go from 1 to 10, but mine goes 0 to 11 because... look, just because alright?

The lyrics are a bit hard to get into, largely because I can't decide exactly how honest I want to be here... also because I don't want people getting the wrong idea. And it'd be incredibly awkward if certain people wound up finding this--they shouldn't, they don't know this account name at all and don't come to this forum, but... there's no sense risking it, right?

She gently nudges you, practically begging you to ask a question and then sighs.

Yeah, yeah. Rule Number 2: Never drag anyone else into your fantasies. This is different. "You" aren't any specific person. You could be anyone who has posted in the topic, or any lurker, or anyone finding this on an archive in the future for some reason. I can't be accused of dragging you into this, because for all intents and purposes, you don't actually exist in any tangible form.

Standard notes; it's up for roughly 24 hours and involves personal memories, which I'll likely deny ever writing if questioned on it.

Otherwise... great song that hits me right where the nostalgia is hardest. I've listened to quite a few other songs of hers, though I haven't found any that were remotely close to this song (though I've been listening to "Fever" fairly often). For a while, Spotify had my heavy rotation as Carly Rae Jepsen's artist page, Dedicated, Emotion, and Emotion Side B. So this song was always going to get a great placement; it started in the top 10 and only went up from there.

Also, this was the song that caused me to officially raise the scale to 11, as well as the first to make me really consider the pastebin option for sensitive write-ups.

...also, I'm still not sure if writeups is hyphenated or not, and have been switching back and forth almost at random.

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

Second Place!

Lowest Song: Primadonna (272nd Place)

Highest Song: Run Away With Me (2nd Place)

Honestly, I didn't think you were going to do too well at these rankings. Current Pop Music isn't really my thing... or at least that's what I thought. Considering how many high placements you got, I guess I like modern pop more than I thought I did?
