Hope is the Thing With Feathers
Iclucian Dance
Tapha Niang

I supported Hope is the Thing With Feathers. Continuing the theme of emotional extremes, this song literally has a cheering crowd in it. Thematically I think of it as the good counterpart to a villain song, as its a performance on a grandiose, larger-than-life scale, just as how youd establish the villains personality. Except unlike the villain, who selfishly hogs the spotlight all for themselves, this song is about everyone sharing the spotlight! Yeah I know its cheesy, but damn it, it works on me.

I like how slow-paced Skyway is. 0:34-0:58 draws the melodies out, letting you savor the punchiness of the first one and the airiness of the second.

Yoda Goes For A Swim is actually really close to being something I would like. The tone is right on: the music is ramshackle, half-hearted circus where nobody is having a good time and the slurred, rambling vocalist is well-suited to the role of unpleasant clown. He absolutely nails the what at 1:33. 2 major problems though: the lyrics are dumb incoherent random-for-randoms-sake, and the loud parts are annoying.
