Best song remaining in bracket C?









Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 14, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

It was largely coincidental, and I've changed them around a bit a few times, but I gave the songs in both matches very close scores (8.6-7 vs 8.5-8, 8.9-9.1 vs 9-9.15), so... I won't say the overplayed phrase of "might flip on these" but I will say to not trust these votes (especially since I'm presently feeling the ones I've given slightly lower scores to before)...

Distorted Happiness
The Wyrm's Jewelbox

I am at a loss for both of these matches AS UISUAL FOR ROUND #$ 3
"both close matches"- happy round 3 is always like that : ) )) ) match 1 is like "old favorite but not as much to my current tastes vs. 'good song shut up it could be in ar tonelico or anime' and i like that more now" vs. " mwhich is match 2: match 2 is like shut up. MAtch to SUT UP i hate how much i like music becuse I LIKE MATH 2. Worm's jukebox intrigues me more tonally and HYMN intrigues me more instrumentationally/rhythmically. but both are like top tier songs atr being those things SHUT UP but in the end i'm more emotionally moved by worm jewel box (aka id purpose), I just think "hymn sounds cooller and is more 'complex' so there are more numbers in the song" if I was reacting to music like a machine.

i might flip on either match (don't tell me I don't do that because i actually did it for once and literally changed contest result last minute you can't tell me i am a liar about the possibility NOW ) SHUT UP (i love you . I love vgmc14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

YO-KAI Disco (Hell's Entrance World) (35th) / Distorted Happiness (47th)
The Wyrm's Jewelbox (93rd) / HYMN (NR)

Match 1 is stupid close. 2 is close-ish as HYMN is on a short list of songs just outside my top 100.

Kinda wish these can all win, the best stuff left in the contest is all concentrated in today's matches

first match I feel terrible voting against either, second match is easier but Wyrm's Jewelbox is my favorite remaining song

Second match was tough. Ultimately, what helped me decide was thinking about what future match-up would be hardest for me when today's victors face off.
