#30. The Way It Goes
Artist: Katie Vincent
Nominated: Raetsel (1st Ranking)
Score (Out of 199): #177th [4/6]
Standard Rank: 20/49

Like "Pink Dazzled 45" and "Smoke Too Soon," a girl & a guitar can just hop up higher than expected. Katie's a friend of a friend and I was invited to the premiere of this movie for its small theatrical run at a local cinema. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and got to work on her next short film, "Windblown," a year or so later (which used Ex-Norwegian's "Page To" I nominated for Raetsel's third ranking getting 127th). This just hits right, and the nostalgia isn't very strong despite fond memories and actual personal life attachment.

#29. Braving Tal Tal Heights
Artist: disco dan
Nominated: KamikazePotato (June 2012 - Remixes)
Score: #32nd [1/5]
Games Rank: 10/61
Remix Game & Rank: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - 'Tal Tal Mountain,' [2/9]
Time: 5:46

Another track I thought would be higher, but doesn't quite do it for me as much as it used to. IIRC, it was in my top five most played WMP songs in however we used to share and track those songs as a board back in the day. Love the remix, love the game, love those sweeping violins~

#28. We Need a Hero
Artist: Ron Wasserman
Nominated: profDEADPOOL (March 2015)
Score: #95th [3/5]

As much as I love Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has deep hooks. It's the first show I remember having a fandom for, the Green With Evil saga taking place while I was in first grade with myself and others fighting to be the Green Ranger, wearing a homemade White Ranger costume for Halloween, and continued enjoyment carrying me to various friendships, my first con excursions for the first two Rhode Island Comic-Cons, and just enjoyment in general I guess. I'm a complete mark for when I see Ranger actors get booked in other projects like Walter Jones in Space Cases and an episode of Buffy, Erin Cahill as Ted Mosby's sister, Anna Hutchinson flirting with Thor in Cabin in the Woods, Archie Kao in CSI & Chicago PD, Daniel Southworth in the first episode of Revolution, Jorge Vargas retroactive mark-out for Higher Ground's Augie (stellar cast! Hayden Christensen, A.J. Cook, Jewel Staite, Kyle Downes, Kandyse McClure, Meghan Ory), Eka Darville as Jessica Jones' neighbor, Adelaide Kane in Reign, Rose McIver in iZombie and Ghosts... man, RPM's cast is stellar. That's not even counting all the voice acting I rarely catch, particularly by Johnny Yong Bosch in practially everything, most notably Joshua Bright and Yu Narukami. In those long midnight-til-morning hours of Persona 4 playing, I don't think I'd yet realized the person shouting "PERSONA!" was Adam Park.

We Need a Hero in Adam Park.

#27. T.I.M.E.
Artist: Neil Cicierga
Nominated: Raetsel (1st Ranking)
Score (Out of 199): #10th [3/6]
Standard Rank: 18/49
Time: 4:37

Ack! I should've added this to the remix list. Oh well, topic started already, too late. Neil Cicierga is a low-key internet legend. He was the genius behind Potter Puppet Pals and the flash-animated Animutations like the Japanese Pokeraps with Mr. Bean & Colin Mochrie's faces. Since those wonderful days, he's put out four amazing remix albums Mouth Sounds, Mouth Silence, Mouth Moods, and Mouth Dreams. "T.I.M.E." is an insanely mesmerizing combination of the Village People's "Y.M.C.A." and Hans Zimmer's "Time" from the Inception soundtrack. While most of his songs are funnier or have a gimmick to them that can get absurd (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klQTj76Qo9k - "Alanis" from Mouth Sounds, which is also where I got inspired to nominate the perfect scoring Gracie Films Logo for Raetsel's 4th Ranking), "T.I.M.E." is... transcendant. With the vocals removed away from disco dancing pop energy and added over the deep and foreboding Hans Zimmer, you can really hear and feel and understand the "Y.M.C.A." lyrics and their urgency to help others, help people, get people food and shelter and care where they don't have to be alone on the streets or in deep depression. It fills my soul. If you listen to anything you haven't listened to on this list, I recommend this one the most despite its relatively low ranking.

P.S. I know I didn't save multiple nominations after 2015 because I nominated this for Raetsel's topic solely because it ranked second-worst in another person's topic!

#26. Broken Promises [Dreams]

Nominated: Raetsel (1st Ranking)

Space. A boy has the right to dream. There are endless possibilities stretched out before him.
(You have to trust in your own power.)
(Whatever happens from now on, you stand firm and face your destiny without fear but with courage.)

What awaits him down the path, he will then have to choose.
(No one's going to give you a map; you've got to walk your own path.)

Children leave their homes in search of this quest.
(What is thy desire?)

As they search, they are always asking questions. Whats out there? Whats waiting for me?
(Why was I made? Who made me? And what did they make me for?)
(Are you going to go up into space with your old man or not?)
(Maybe I'll never get over this...)
(I've lived my life following my dreams, and I don't have any regrets.)

[You gonna just keep running away?!]
[Just keep running away? ......I'm not running. >_>]

8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...

Believe in yourself, and create your own destiny. Dont fear failure.
