Kind of glad I didn't since "Semi-Charmed Life" has a lot of drug references, and "Jumper" is about suicide, so... ...fits right in with all the other noms, huh? I still plan on listening to it anyway. There are always exceptions to things that I typically dislike; there's at least one more song dealing with suicide that hasn't dropped yet, Big Empty got a high placement and praise for having some of the best lyrics in the entire contest, etc, etc. It's not the most promising subject matter, but it's not a deal-breaker. ==================================================== 36: Song Name: Nobody Song Origin: Mitski Song Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qooWnw5rEcI" data-time=" Nominator: mcflubbin (6/15) sigh Amazing video, tremendous song, the vocal distortions at the end of the song are what I've been waiting this entire topic to hear.. ...and then she goes and uploads a video explaining every single line in the song. STOP DOING THAT For the second time this list, a song has been ruined by an artist being too honest about what everything means. There's no mystery left, nothing to discuss or think about. It's all spelled out, in the most boring way possible. And it hurts, because this was one of my favorite songs... but now, it just isn't the same. It's not ruined or anything, but it's definitely dropped a long way from where it could have been. [FINAL NOTES: If she didn't explain everything, this would probably have come in around...17th place? The top 16 is really hard to break into, but this song would have definitely came as close as possible--might have even made it into that tremendous group, honestly, but we'll never know. That it makes it so incredibly high on the list even after having its score dragged down so far is a testament to how great the song truly is.] [FINAL-ER NOTES: Just append the usual "cutting this song so early is physically painful" to all write-ups from now until we hit the top 16. It's not like the next cuts are any less painful than this one was...] ==================================================== --- Marshmallow unicorns forever! <cite>Raetsel_Lapin posted [p:910523371] in Raetsel's ...
