I'll get around to all links posted (the other Nightwish songs, the unrelated Scatman song, the Caligula's Horse songs mentioned without links, the story of Grave, the other version of Astronomy, and those four songs right above), though not tonight ; it's late, I'll start working through links again tomorrow and post responses as I go along.

I'm almost definitely the biggest BC fan on B8 and probably one of the bigger concept album obsessives, and even I can't figure out what the hell's going on in that whole story, mostly because depending on who you ask, it's not even clear which songs are part of the story and which aren't.

Well considering how often I've complained about artists revealing too much about their songs, it'd be rather refreshing to go with something with the exact opposite problem. There is something mysterious about an unfinished story that I have no hopes of truly understanding that makes it completely irresistible...

It's interesting that I haven't heard this song as often you would expect. It feels like the radio tends to stick with Open Your Heart & Borderline these days, to a point that I still get a little excited whenever any other song of hers plays.

It's also possible that I'm suffering from confirmation bias--I'm tired of hearing those two songs, so I always notice them. Other songs that I like would just register as "hey, something I like is playing!" and not register in the same way. Fortunately for this song's ranking, I can neither confirm that, nor do I care. It feels like I don't hear this song as often as I'd like to, so it manages to take a high score.

Still, I do honestly know this song well enough that I didn't need to try to look up lyrics or anything. And it's not as exciting as something truly new. So... there's still a limit on how far I'm willing to take it, cutting it just before it hits the top 10% of nominations.

[FINAL NOTES: I think Take A Bow and Material Girl are the only two Madonna songs I've ever gone out of my way to hear.]

[FINAL-ER NOTES: I still like the song and want it to have a high placement, but perhaps not quite this high... while I maintain that all songs from #17 to #37 can be placed in just about any order or seen as tied, it feels like I'd rather have the "too familiar" song at #37 so that the newer songs could get more of a chance to shine. But, the list is what it is.]
