#726: Yelle - Comme un enfant (4:14):

Nominator: hotdogturtle [12/14 Remaining]

Initial Score: "Somewhere between 70 and 90 points" [treated as equal to 80.00]
Revised Score: 56.33
Final Score: 51.52 [Upgraded to 51.92]

(First Reaction: There are a lot of strong feelings associated with this song that I don't want to get into. I also have no idea how I want to score this, but memories and feelings like this should be relatively high... so just somewhere in the 70 to 90 point region, probably.)

!Not bad, but wow, I think this song might have had the most dramatic drop in terms of how much I enjoyed it from one listen to the next. I hesitate to say it's too... dance-music-adjacent, but the pulsing beat is certainly not helping the track any tonight. I still like it, but there's a lot of asterisks there, more like I "like***" this song...

[Final Thoughts: Well, this song has been on a significantly downward spiral. The lyrics about being like a child do have a fair amount of appeal for me right now, particularly in the last chorus section:

I sing and I cry, like a child
I scare myself for fun, like a child
I think about anything and everything, like a child
I dance, my heart is upside-down, like a child

But the song itself is... really not working for me at the moment, I'm afraid. It's got a very overly pronounced beat and I'm... I wouldn't say I don't like it, but it's a long way off from the Revised Score (and a million miles away from the original).]

(First Reaction: That was a rather abrupt end to the song.)

*before clicking the song a second time*

...Once again, thank you Past Raetsel, for such deep insight into this track.

*after a second listen*

Wow, that was abrupt. It's just weird for two minutes and then stops

...I''d really like to just leave things there, but I need to at least make an effort. Parts of this song feel alien and "goopy", which is an interesting adjective to use for music. I'd like to dive into that and analyze the feelings, but the song is so very brief, that I'm not really sure where to even begin with it. The aspects I most enjoy are brief background elements of a track that is itself too brief. It makes it difficult to analyze or get an understanding of because it all just... stops before you have a chance to enjoy or process even one aspect of the song. I suppose it's intriguing enough that I want to give it a positive score, but I'm mostly left unfulfilled and wanting so much more.

[Final Thoughts: Alien and bizarre in ways I'm very intrigued by, but without enough time/space to really dive into those feelings. I think this song needs to be twice as long, so that you can really take your time and enjoy the soundscapes--that'd also give it a bit more freedom to linger and experiment with each phase of the song.]

]Later: It's an interesting experience, so much so that I keep delaying its elimination, but the competition is heating up and I'm running out of songs that I can definitively say I don't enjoy as much as this track.]
