163: LIVE - FACE AND GHOST (THE CHILDRENS SONG):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDr-Rd80cQ0&list=PLBB25BAC1F72C0DE4&index=8

Nominator: azuarc (11/28)
Source: The Distance to Here (5/13)

Initial Score: 70.50 [#119]
Revised Score: 82.43 [#104]
Final Score: 74.90 [#163]

(First Thoughts:

Lost in the maya, overboard in the sea
There was void and then that water broke
Then something called me
Now a trip to the desert, to look at the sky
It's like never ending mirrors
Playin' tricks on my eyes

I like that verse.)

Some random autotune distortion on his voice towards the end of the song,which I find appealing because its just so random. Other than that, weve got the usual: I like his performance on this track more than some other songs from the two albums, the lyrics seem intriguing enough that I enjoy them, etc, etc.

[Final Thoughts: Song bounces between the 70 & 80 point tiers. Right now, Im back to feeling its a 70 point song; ask again in a month or two and I might be back to feeling it worth 80 points.]

162: FRUMS - MY CAPACITANCE:

https://frums.bandcamp.com/track/my-capacitance

Nominator: cakophon (9/26)
Source: vignette (8/20)

Initial Score: 90.00 [#13]
Revised Score: 85.67 [#86]
Final Score: 75.15 [#162]

(First Thoughts: I say intriguing too much. Whats another word for that? *checks thesaurus*

Fascinating, yeah, lets go with that one.)

I am / Not what / I am / But I
Might be / What I / Still was / When I
Was not / What I / Might have / Been now
But for / What I / Am in / My now

Cryptic robotic vocals are my thing; the heavy drumming or whatever isnt. Its definitely too heavy for my tastes, but intriguing enough that I still like it more than I probably should.

[Final Thoughts: Im sorry. Tonight is one of those nights where Im bothered by all the drumming and I cant get nearly into this song as I usually do. I will say I usually love it and its just bad timing thats causing it to fall down the list.]

161: MAMOMO - (IN THE GARDEN OF GOD) [MAMOMO #9]:

https://s-mamomo.bandcamp.com/track/--53

Nominator: @FL81 (10/20)
Source: mamomo album (8/13)

Initial Score: 70.00 [#138]
Revised Score: 72.95 [#180]
Final Score: 75.33 [#161]

(First Thoughts: Simple, sad, piano song is simple & sad.)

Its quite pretty and one of the better simple, sad piano songs... but it doesnt inspire any real thoughts or feelings. Its more like the song is sad adjacent than actively inspiring sadness itself.

...also Im not fond of the translated title, but that has no impact on where the song winds up.

[Final Thoughts: Pretty enough to be an easy 70 point song, not beautiful enough to get up to the I love this song categories.]

160: LES RALLIZES DENUDES - WHITE WAKING:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nblK0dtd1GA

Nominator: @FL81 (9/20)
Source: FL81s Extra Songs (2/7)

Initial Score: 60.00 [#242]
Revised Score: 71.41 [#194]
Final Score: 75.34 [#160]

(First Thoughts: Got a psychedelic 70s vibe to it, which is kinda nifty?)

Considering that the band that released this song was a psychedelic rock band from the 70s, that may actually be the saddest attempt at a First Thought. Oh, hey you know what X reminds me of? An X!, whoop-de-doo.

This is one of the trippiest songs Ive ever heard and its kinda creepy how all the comments have such different reactions to the song... its like were all listening to completely different songs without realizing it.

Either way, to me, this sounds like falling into a drug induced coma and dying. Not... not my favorite ambience, but its certainly different and I like how bizarre everything about this song is.

[Final Thoughts: Definitely one of the more memorable songs this ranking, but I feel its a bit longer than it needs to be. Its trippy and unsettling, but after a little over two minutes, I think Ive experienced as much of that as I want to... and then the song goes on for six minutes, without really adding or changing anything.]
