Raetsel_Lapin 07/01/22 2:34:57 PM #22:	continued --- Little Acorns: If only I had found this song three or four years ago, I'd probably be bouncing off the walls singing its praises. I had a serious addiction to spoken word samples a while back and I'd probably be screaming "10/10 best song everrrrsss" because there's like a spoken word news story, but like, it's inside a song--like OMG YOU GUYZ THERE'S -WORDS- IN THIs `song~. Unfortunately for us all, while I can still enjoy and appreciate me some spoken words and odd samples, they're not an automatic victory any longer. Likewise, any reference to furryness was once a source of infinite points. It's not a furry song, but you can twist "be like the squirrel" in a lot of fun ways, were you the type of person desperately seeking an excuse to put on a fursuit and live in a tree. It's a glorious world in the tree; there are no endlessly repeated sentence fragments, there is only tree. (Fair warning, I may be overly stimulated at the moment and slightly more erratic than usual.) AAAANYWHO... while this isn't a song I'd ever heard before, it is oddly nostalgic due to how strongly it would have appealed to my past self. Ah, Past Raetsel. So young (comparitively). So fluffy. So spellbound by spoken words. This is probably like a... 5.5/10 song for me these days, but it's fun to reminisce. --- --- There's No Home For You Here: I think I like this song, but I'd like to listen to it a few more times on different weeks before committing to that statement. While it seems like something I should dislike on paper--the chorus is certainly the definition of the repetition I condemn at every possible opportunity--but I actually find this rather pleasing. The snarky bitterness of the lyrics is something I find incredibly appealing right now. --- --- In The Cold, Cold Night: This album could use more Meg White to be quite honest. ...Honestly, most albums would probably benefit from her appearance. Don't have a lot to say here; I like the way her voice sounds and I dig the general feel of this track. It's one of those "I like this and have no desire to elaborate any further" songs. --- --- Well It's True That We Love One Another: An homage to The Mama's and The Papa's 60's folk music. I don't know that I've mentioned it in this series, but I was raised on an oldies station that focused on the 50's and 60's, so I actually have a lot of nostalgia for songs that are done in this style. It's also wonderfully charming and I had a smile on my face the entire time. It's still not a song that I really love, but it's a jolly good time and a throwback to an era of music that doesn't see much play these days. --- ...okay, enough writeups. --- I'm not who you think I am And even if I thought you'd known, I never would have told you so <cite>Raetsel_Lapin posted [p:966261357] in Rank the T...
