Dorgan, I'll see you at tribal council.
Ok tribal happened. Very intense with a lot of blame going around as to why they weren't able to step up to the challenge. not fun.

In the end, Fun Fun - No More Tears got the brunt of the blame and was voted off 7-2. Wish it had been recorded.

Thank goodness that not having bugs didn't kill Hated By Life Itself. It lived to surpass my other nom, Luna.

I continue to enjoy Song Sorvivor Soptombor and look forward to whatever the next challenge is.

If you're watching videos now, the Hated By Life Itself video has English subtitles. There are some odd phrases in the translation but I think the meaning gets through and it's a powerful song. Autumn's Geometry just has a picture of an anime girl, no fancy music video for it. Hopefully its ranking doesn't suffer because of that!
**R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D**
it is now day 5 and i will now start watching music videos for songs that have them. however many i can get to before the day is over i suppose.

I guess I can point you to the STYLE MV:

i originally thought this was one of the songs that would benefit the most from me watching the video because it is a modern KPop vid and those have like a baseline quality/appeal to me but i think the reverse happened for a couple of petty reasons.

1 - it's a school setting. not too surprising considering the tone/subject of the song but i'm so over this aesthetic.

2 - i will never fully forgive SM for that period where they forced popup ads into the music videos for their artists. thanks for literally tainting the artistry and history of your product for your shitty mobile app that nobody gave a fuck about, you soulless ghouls.

3 - one of the girls is wearing a Cowboys jersey
Oh I didn't get any points, alright

the way this is going is pretty similar to my usual music listening/discovery process. usually i'll hear the song first, whether because i'm listening to the album through for the first time or linked. and if it gets me interested enough, i'll throw it into a playlist. a couple more listens later then i might get interested in what the music video looks like, though because not every song has a video, this only applies sometimes. and then eventually, i might get interested to look up lyrics.

bad/nonexistent music videos rarely negatively affect my perception of the song. most of the time, i'll think the video is fine but will never seek it out again. but every so often the MV truly elevates future listens of the song by giving me imagery for my brain to remember while listening or offering new perspective of lyrics, etc.

Hinako Omori - A Journey
not sure if the link that was posted for this song was the official video or anything but i watched it anyway. it oddly helps out in a way by giving me something to focus on whereas before with just the audio it was kind of easier to be "just some noise."
i can't believe Emo Boy doesn't have a video
Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots

idk it was fine.
i believe the ones left with official videos are

Hayley Williams - Crystal Clear
Will Wood and the Tapeworms - Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!
Scowl - Not Hell, Not Heaven
Ennaria - Monstarrr
AURORA - Runaway

i'll watch these when i get home
I like the video for Shovel quite a bit, interested to see what you think of it.

Yep the Houndstooth channel is the official one for her label and the video was released same day as her single. Out of all her songs I have saved, A Journey is one of the least background-y ones :')

Technically 3D Country has a video, but it's called 4D Country and has an extended solo.

Hayley Williams - Crystal Clear
this video was kind of cheating because it's not a music video, it's a lyric video and i wasn't even planning to look at lyrics until tomorrow at the earliest!

but yeah being forced to look at lyrics for this one (predictably) definitely got me appreciating a bit more and i think i might have mentioned that i could see it moving up weeks ago when i started this project. i have no idea about the personal aspects of the song for Hayley Williams (briefly skimming the comments which seem to mention a "Taylor" a lot - who is Taylor? idk and i don't really care tbh) but what i got from the lyrics this first time through was the apprehension and vulnerability about exposing yourself to someone and boy is that relatable.
Taylor York, her fellow bandmate in Paramore that she cited was the main rock in keeping the band from breaking up years ago and they eventually confirmed they were dating in 2022. Her most recent album has lyrics pointing to that they mayyyyy have broken up but seemingly still care for each other? Which is sad because them starting to date was a really sweet story, but she still says she's in a good place right now so who knows.

i thought she was with that lead singer from the other band when she wrote Still Into You

rip i guess

ok i did watch this and it felt a little long but the end is pretty good.

So she was previously married to Chad Gilbert, the guitarist from New Found Glory. Most of Petals For Armor (the album Crystal Clear is on) is about exorcising the demons from that relationship, as she realized she was very young when she got into that relationship with him (She was 19 and he was 26) and it wasn't healthy, and then he ended up cheating on her after they got married.

Will Wood and the Tapeworms - Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!
single take very impressive! i wonder how many were thinking along the lines of fuck dont mess up dont mess up. there's one part where one of the girls' foot hits the mc's head and he just keeps going (obviously) just thought it was interesting and of course there's a lot going on in the background which makes repeated viewings fun. will i ever watch it again? idk
kateee i have instructions for how to make confetti into a music video

look up what charlotte cardin looks like and then imagine her sitting at a piano and singing the song

with a choir behind her at the relevant portions

boom ez
we're all buds ~jc~

it has possibly the most underwhelming lyric video of all time (it's basically a series of weird gifs of her upper body having seizures) but also the non piano version is a bop

i'd say if you want visuals just watch this live performance from an awards show

for reference here is the lyric video. it's probably less weird than i made it sound like but it sure is underwhelming.

Scowl - Not Hell, Not Heaven
fun fun

but i actually didn't realize/remember that the ending was so abrupt

usually i'm listening to these things in the background in a playlist where it autoplays the next one soooo whoops
ok i thought confetti was a huge song so it definitely had a music video

but it doesn't? wtf
what is this beat lol
after only knowing of the piano version and hearing this my brain is unable to accept it

for now
never mind i'm into it

and it makes sense anyway lmao
