5. JAMES - SPACE:

And we end my train of thought with another song that was ranked too low. Space had a decent score77.50 points with a ranking of #141st placebut it deserves a score somewhere in the 90s. Its another song that Ive been listening to quite a bit lately. It popped up one of my Daily Mixes on Spotify and has been on my On Repeat list for a couple weeks now.

Its possibly the most complicated song on this miniature list, gradually building from hypnotic minimalist vocals at the intro to U2-esque pop rock by the outro, its not really a song I got on my first listen. Or third. Or seventh.

Even after the topic ended, this wasnt exactly one of the songs I intended to go back toit just randomly showed up one night and I decided yeah, I like that, I wouldnt mind hearing it again. And I dont really know when it happened, but somehow being free of having to care about what the song was doing or having to figure out how to do a writeup about it, I just started really enjoying it. It was always something I was happy to hear again and managed to sneak its way onto my most listened songs. Which it definitely deserves, I love the song now, but it took quite a while from the end of the ranking for it to work its magic.

(The Kings - This Beat Goes On / Switchin To Glide followed a similar trajectory of getting a fairly low score, but growing when it randomly showed up on Spotify one night. I think that particular song was two rankings ago? I really should make a full list of what songs were nominated by who & when & where the songs placed, but theres over 1000 songs to collect and organize data on...)
