Heading Back to Town
Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
1NF3S+@+!0N (Theme of Crabulon)

I think I started a write up here and then lost it so now I have to start over oops. First match is maybe closer than you might expect for me. Both songs have long atmosphericish intros that I kinda just want to skip and then have traits appealing to me while also incorporating traits I pretty strongly despise. for instance in DBS the fast rising digital bass is really cool to me and the occasional screeching noise is, pretty weird but intriguing in a sort of good way? But I really don't like the vocals of course. Meanwhile HBtT has some fun rhythm stuff in the drums & bass and like what that piano starts doing at 1:11, and when the bass plays in reverse it's neat. But I loathe those high strings, potentially at an even higher amount than I do with the DBS vocals in my current mood, especially when I find the melody they play in the first half so boring. Things get kind of better with the drums with it at like 2:08 but still... I also prefer the overall instrumentation of DBS over the instrumentation of HBtT. Only the waterdrop type stuff in the back at 2:30 is appealing to me in HBtT in that regard. But ultimately what I think makes the difference for me in the match is -- in HBtT my dislikes are sometimes the focus, and sometimes they're gone and what I like is the focus instead. In DBS my dislikes are pretty consistently the focus what I like is just the backing. Also even DBS occasionally has I think a saxophone that sounds like the accursed high strings so I dislike that too. Anyway my decision's made now enough of listening to those songs.

Other two matches are still more of the same old "cool song vs. less appealing song that also has vocals" so I don't feel like doing write ups because I'm still in a messed up mindstate. Though maybe Personasong could have stood a chance without the vocals.
Maybe this will be the year for Rtfm, I think there's only one other song still in this division that I'd vote over it possibly.
Hm, all 3 matches today included one song from last VGMC...
