Raetsel_Lapin 01/08/21 12:48:35 PM #472:	Ive never thought of trying to search for anti-music before, I have to remember to try that next time I want something really different. Should get through another 15 songs today, starting with these three: =================== 159: THE WEEKND - LONELY STAR: https://open.spotify.com/track/0p3sSUXDohjddeKlnvGbCD Nominator: Player_0 (5/30) Initial Score: 63.04 [#194] Revised Score: 71.85 [#190] Final Score: 75.35 [#159] (First Thoughts: Replace all the lyrics, youd probably have.a song I love. As is... well, its still on the positive side of things, at least.) As usual, Im still pretty heavily biased against the lyrics of his songs... but this song does a lot to draw me in. Weve got some spoken word sections from her, weve got the fairly low tones of music that I like, and I actually dont have any complaints about his singing. I can say with certainty that I like this quite a bit, in spite of the lyrics. [Final Thoughts: It seems like pain and regret Are your best friends Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah Cause everything you do leads to them Most of the lyrics to this song are garbage, but there are moments like that which are great. This song is surprisingly close to being something I love, but its still not quite there.] =================== =================== 158: MOZART - REQUIEM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi8vJ_lMxQI Nominator: rwlh (7/15) Initial Score: 63.20 [#187] Revised Score: 72.07 [#188] Final Score: 75.40 [#158] (First Thoughts: ...You know, I kinda like this.) 1: Latin lyrics are so overused in RPGs that I now associate them with good times, so there may be a slight bias here. 2: Its a religious song, yes, but its dealing with the end of the world. We dont have many apocalyptic songs here. 3: I like how frequently the lyrics refer to the singer as being guilty and unworthy, but begging for forgiveness anyway. Its a minor detail, but it helps. 4: This is the song I referenced that played a commercial during the song itself and it was absolutely perfect. Requiem lyrics... Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, Liberate the souls of the faithful, Departed from the pains of hell And from the bottomless pit. Deliver them from the lions mouth, Lest hell swallow them up, Lest they fall into darkness Commercial lyrics that interrupted the song... Return of the Mack! (There it is) Return of the Mack! (Come on) Return of the Mack! (Oh my God) And that is, by the far, the greatest moment from any of these ranking topics. The image of Jesus returning to Earth during the end of the world and bursting into R&B hits as humanity is damned is so perfect. And most of Return of the Macks lyrics can actually work for Jesus condemning humanity, if you squint hard enough and really try reading the song that way. It is absolutely pure genius and I loved every second of it. But.. that was just a fluke caused by the ad service. It doesnt always play an ad during the video and even when it does, that specific ad doesnt seem to be around these days, so youll never get that wonderful coincidence again. If it was intentionalif you edited the two songs together or created a proper mashup, something where these two songs coming together was actually the nominationit would be an easy 100. Easy. As is... the coincidence has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of both songs and they are permanently associated in my mind, but I cant give you a perfect score for it. Not when its impossible to replicate. On the plus side, I do seem to actually like the actual song too, so its not like its only here due to coincidental commercials. [Final Thoughts: Quite nice, especially for being a genre I typically dont care about.] ================== ================== 157: TAT-MING PAIR - ROAD ANGEL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i281xYWDnyU Nominator: handsomeboy2012 (6/15) Initial Score: 70.00 [#138] Revised Score: 72.62 [#183] Final Score: 75.45 [#157] (First Thoughts: While not my favorite song by the duo, theres some intriguing lines here. Auto Translate has its issues, like always, but Let troubles, let ideals be swept away is still pretty evocative and In the long night, angels are laughing and calling ; let everything be forgotten does a fantastic job at setting up a certain atmosphere. ...actually lets raise this score up to 70.00, I really enjoy the way those lyrics feel.) A Google translated blog said... Angels on the Road presents the true picture of society in a postmodern way. There was no criticism, no preaching, only romance and poignancy Seems like a rebellious youth type song from what I can make out, which is nice. I see that they played it in concert in 2017 and changed things a bit, connecting it to the Umbrella Movement which sounds good? Keeping the song relevant to modern events and all. [Final Thoughts: Another good song from the pair, as expected.] ==================== --- Temporary Signature <cite>Raetsel_Lapin posted [p:949264305] in Raetsel ra...
