    I’d bet I’m part of the double ups!

    I'm enjoying Lewis Capaldi and getting a step ahead of Necro too...:eek:

    Also Billie Eilish - You should see me in a crown really started out as a track with great potential is might be a grower on me.

    6th and 5th Place :: Billie Eilish - Bad Guy

    I've grouped these two entries together because even though they were different submissions by video, there was elements of both that I liked and I couldnt separate them. So Yeah, this one from Billie is actually okay. Better pace, i quite liked it. Didnt like the ending. reminded me of the elements of that crown one that I didnt like, but yeah, this was pretty decent on the whole.

    Didn't think I'd heard of Billie Eilish but that song is familiar actually


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,303 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Yeah, I've recently heard that one a lot and agree re: the ending. It's just... blah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,966 ✭✭✭Clarabel


    Ooooh I like that a lot

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Well it's just so hard to know what someone might like.

    I like my song but I wasn't sure it would'nt be one of the first out. It's nerve wrecking at the start, hoping your song isn't in the first few :D At this stage I can relax a bit as I'm happy out.

    4th Place :: Rammstein - Deutschland [VIDEO NSFW. GRAPHIC VIOLENCE]

    This was in and out of my top 3 a lot, narrowly missed out on relistens to the songs that made my top3! I like rammstein and this is just like every rammstein song ive ever heard so obviously I enjoyed it. I really could have done without enduring a 9 minute video though lol. Song start just after the 1 minute mark and the last 2 minutes are video credits. Great typical rammstein intro. Standard rammstein vocals. The usual engaging Rammstein chorus. This was Rammstein through and through and done very well!

    Jaysus didn't know Ramstein were still releasing new music.

    Never listened to them a huge amount but I remember Du Hast in particular, like 20 years ago or something

    Final two minutes wasnt just ending credits, great exit imo, powerful piano triming down to nothing at the finish.

    3rd Place :: Purple Mountains - All my happiness is gone

    This person origianlly sent me a 6 minute version of this song and then they resubmitted the official version which was 2 minutes shorter..... and thank God they did. The first 2 minutes in that 2 minute version were awful to the point that I was pissed off before the real song began so when they sent me the "proper" length of the song, I enjoyed it a lot more. First verse to chorus is lovely. 2nd verse is a shade too long and it drags out a bit too long to a point that I felt the song was losing its direction. That alone probably cost it the top 2. It kinda reminded me of a down tempo version of The Walls - Bright and Shining Sun which I absolutely adored when it came out. On the whole though, this was a great submission which i really enjoyed, thank you.

    Yeah I know I explained, but when submitting the only vid out at the time (the official video) was the longer version with that 2 min introduction of past footage. Would mean more to fans of his I guess, as it was from earlier gigs. So when I noticed the shorter vid of just the song I felt I should include it

    2nd Place :: Beirut - Gallipoli

    This was a song that just kept on moving up the list the more I listened to it. However, I'm finding it tough to verbalise what it is that I liked so much about this song. Nice intro, loved the trumpety/horn thing if thats what it is. Singing kinda reminds me of that old kind of french style that one of my former co-workers from years ago used to listen to a lot of and I used to love it! It's a real kind of meditteranean feel to the song and it just captures a lot of great feelings for me of holidays when I was a kid in southern France
