https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKEWlU4rkxc

Nominator: Handsomeboy [14/31 Remaining]

Revised Score: 76.14
Final Score: 68.6003

(First Reaction: I think I like this a little bit, maybe, possibly, but not strongly enough that I'll commit to that statement.)

...Man, that first reaction is so abysmal I want to REDACT that insipid sentence in a vain attempt to hide how stupid, short, and inaccurate it was. I really like this song at this exact moment and I'm jumping it up two and a half tiers immediately. Seriously, I actually highly enjoy the female singer on this track, the thumping is far more tolerable than usual for dance music, and some of these lyrics are quite literally the type of thing I love:

From midnight time, at this place
Shed all the lies with companions that share the same destination
Empty and aimless, as you dance are you running away from somewhere?
Are you disappearing? Youre so bright its mysterious
Were fallen angels telling each other alluring dreams, licking one anothers wounds

Pretty sure I've repeatedly praised the night, abandoning lies and disguises, running away from things, and fallen angels so often that just about anyone could look at this translation and be all "oh yeah, Raetsel's gonna be throwing a bunch of points at this song". The only thing I can think of is that I switched to a Spotify link for the relisten--I already had the app open and it was faster to find the song there than find the nominated upload---and maybe the audio quality is more pleasing there than on YouTube. At least, I'm going to pretend that that's the reason, because I am irrationally angry at how low the first score was and wish to live in a timeline where I had something approaching a valid reason for that abomination of a score/"reaction".

...Well, either way, great song, really enjoy it, and II officially reject anything negative I ever said about it. I wouldn't say that I love the song yet, so I'm thinking mid-to-high 70's for the score instead of the 80's or 90's, but still, great song.

*checks*

....

........okay, yeah, I think the Spotify version has a noteably different sound mix. The pulsing and thumping dance beat sounds much softer here:

Well... this song is definitely "TRF - EZ DO DANCE" and the same length as the nominated song, so I'm just going to cheat and use this link anyway.

[Final Thoughts: Tonight I actually prefer the more pronounced beat from the YouTube link, go figure. I'm not quite as into either version of the song as much as I was last time, but it's still WAY beyond the 50.50 "I do not care" level this song was somehow trapped on. Dance music that's tame enough for me to enjoy it, combined with some really good lyrics with non-human metaphors make this an easy song to like.]

[Later: The chorus is quite catchy and memorable.]
