FLUX: Down 20 Spots; BUMPING a song out of its spot

*Accidentally ranked along with earlier nominations due its outside-playlist status

"Dave Matthews Band rearranged as a baby's xylophonic melody. It's very pleasant with lots of nice little notes like the bird chirps and the twinkle. Unfortunate that it can't be playlisted so I'll need to remember this one. I can't see it making the top half, but it all depends on the competition." - First listen notes

This is a huge surprise to me. Like a lot of other songs I've written into the top half, I don't listen to them as often as I do the dozen-plus that are racing away from the dead line; doubly so as its unplaylisted like Cool Cat and Pohjolan. I thought because it's Crash Into Me that it'd still be okay for a bit. It's been about four hours since I began listening in earnest (and cleaning! Productive day on two fronts!) and I would've completely forgotten to check in on it if I wasn't checking on another song still to come. And wow.

My whole selection of cuts from yesterday and the day before and two hours ago has changed, but one thing was absolutely clear. The mobile baby toy version of rwlh's favorite song off my nominated 16th ranked album does not hold up at all to everything that's going on right now. There's even a chance it's lower, but I'm comfortable with where the cuts of the past few days are. However, not only was Pink Dazzled 45 better than it, after this four hour marathon, Pink Dazzled is going back in the mix for at least a few days. This is completely unexpected and I was not prepared to do anything like this until that immediate listen of Crash about fifteen minutes ago. L'il Davey Maffews literally crashed onto this list and sent a bedazzled pistol spiralling back into the FLUX.

It's Crash! It just... just doesn't work like the actual song does. As a fan of the album, it still fills me with some nostalgia and enjoyment, but would probably be much lower if I weren't. Good on rwlh for continuity between topics though! Kudos.

FLUX: Down 25 Spots

Another surprise! Not as much of one as it's been falling bit-by-bit over the past week. I feel weird and bad about myself that as soon as I eliminate a foreign language song, the next one up begins to fall helplessly down towards the earth. I thank Fluttershy for giving post-elimination insight on these songs, but I also want to note that does not factor into these eliminations. GHOST just was not hitting at all today or yesterday. It's a bit flat throughout aside from the nice dropout-and-return towards the end, and I enjoy it as background.

Second displacement of the night with handsomeboy2012 bumping UF8 out for last place. Yeah, I'm not very resonant with songs and lyrics I don't understand, am I? Well, I understand 'Sexy sexy dance' and hate it.
