When Dvorak got dead last I was betting Jupiter to be at 190 or something.


When I saw the nomination, I was expecting something really low for it myself... but the work remains so influential to film soundtracks that, when listening, I wasn't 100% positive it even was classical music--it feels very similar to John Williams to me, so it doesn't even really register in my mind as being a hundred years old.

Nominator: Bane_Of_Despair (5/15)


It sounds haunting and mysterious, then you hear Tegan say that she wrote the song about having to wait until after 9 PM to make calls due to her cell phone plan. I can get wanting people to understand your art, but sometimes the work is better if you can step back and let it speak for itself.

Take Anodyne, a somewhat obscure Zelda-like game. I was completely fixated on that game and could not put it down; I had to find everything, read every line of dialogue, explore every single screen. Their was a story, but it was vague and difficult to understand--it was like exploring a dream, incredibly familiar & disturbingly wrong at the same time, with cryptic messages.

...then the creators decided to take to the Steam Community page to comment on which player's theories about the story was closest to the truth. In one post, they completely shattered their work. All the mystery was gone. I still like the game, but it's just not the same anymore.

So it is with this song; Without that one bit of honesty, this probably ranks even higher. But I can't forget what she said, so here we are.

[FINAL NOTES: Anodyne is out on PS4 these days... I can't decide if I want to buy a second copy to have on consoles or not. I did love that game and want to support the developers, but after they went and ruined everything, I'm not sure I'd enjoy it. Wonder if anything changed? I can think of a few lines of dialogue that I'm pretty sure wouldn't get onto consoles unedited... ah well, I've got too many PS4 games as it is. Maybe I'll wait and see if it drops onto a Flash Sale someday.]
