Seph’s original….

That is indeed a silver lining

Chris Isaak – Wicked Game

Mostly familiar with this from Friends which is where I heard it first. I know it’s a classic but I’ve always find it slightly whiny if I’m honest. A bit more on the depressing side than I’d like too, so here is about right for it.

Jack L – Lost in Limbo

This guy’s voice is incredible. I’d love him to sing me to sleep, in fact he did a few times this week Really enjoyed this song, it’s a little loud for a chilled Saturday, but lookit – I spent a whole hour the week before last listening to Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up on loop so I can’t really knock points off for that :pac:

Stephen Barton – Apex Legends Main Theme

An… interesting entry. Someone trying to not so subtly get me to play Apex Legends maybe? Really like the theme, it’s a tad repetitive though on repeated listens so here seems about the right spot for it.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood – The Power of Love


I’m not gone on this song, there I said it. I know – sacrilege right? That being said it does capture exactly what I’m looking for here in this round. AND…. I will admit, it’s growing on me with each listen.

I do like this song but it reminds me of Christmas

Massive Attack – Teardrop

I know everyone goes a bit cuckoo for this track in the tournaments but I must admit I never felt that with this song, so I was intrigued getting it submitted to a Walrus so I could give it a proper lash. I think my problem with the song is that the beat promises something the song never really delivers, a crashing finale. I think it deserves a bit more ‘oomph’ injected into it, but hey what would I know. Anyways, it’s fine *insert Ross Geller gif* definitely suited to the category, and overall mid table is sort of perfect for it from my own perspective.

Tolu Makay & RTE Orchestra – N17

I absolutely adore the Saw Doctors and the original would have done excellently in the previous round – I love how this is stripped back and focuses on the lyrics though, very very enjoyable version.

Electric Nitwit

I do love Teardrop, but agree it's a bit overrated. That said, it's probably in the top five songs on that album (because Massive Attack really are brilliant!)

Tina Turner – What’s Love Got To Do With It

Ah a nice mellow classic, I do like me some Tina. While I’d prefer stuff like Proud Mary and Simply The Best, this was the correct choice for this category. Much more understated and one I would definitely put onto a playlist for my lazy Saturdays.

Call Back – Paper Lions

Such a happy track, really enjoyed this one. Just sitting here clicking my fingers thinking about the chorus now. Another one I haven’t heard before but is going onto my Spotify regular list once I detangle myself from this Walrus :P

Electric Nitwit

That's not from the 80s, can't be Aris

my kid wanted me to enter the Halo theme song into a religious/spiritual category for Rikand's walrus i think it was.

I overruled and sent something else though :pac:

KT Tunstall – Journey

This is right up my alley in terms of what I would have in regular rotation. Haven’t heard much from KT, but am planning to take a deep dive once this is over. Nice choice.

Leslie Odom Jr. – Wait For It (feat. Hamilton Cast)

I’ve got a feeling there’s an underlying theme to Barney’s entries :P This is just fantastic, I love his voice, the various pitches and tones he is able to produce is incredible. Yeah this production is absolutely right up my alley.

Canon’s Pachelbel in D

Love this, it reminds me of the instrumental piece the band played on the deck of the Titanic in that movie... Lusitania was it? :pac: Easily the most heartbreaking part of the movie.

Definitely would throw this on to relax on a Saturday evening. Clever choice, because it’s very different from a lot of the others too which makes it stand out a bit more.

Okay it's clearly not the same, but it's kind of similar...

JP Liz V1

The Tina Turner biopic film is awesome too, highly recommend and Angela Bassett is just ageless

Canon’s Pachelbel in D

great choice Kathleen

Barna77

The Steve Miller Band – Joker

Did Shaggy steal the beginning part of this for It Wasn’t Me? Seems similar anyways. Love this song, it was very close to going into the top three but on the last few listens familiarity dropped this one down a couple of places. Still class though.

Bloc Party – Sunday

Tempted to deduct points for trolling :P Nah seriously this is just a great track, one I hadn’t heard before and from the first listen I just really enjoyed it. The chorus just brings it home and solidifies it here for me. There may be hope for me yet EN

Whoo-hoo!
Ha ha, I'm not sure aligning with my tastes is necessarily cause for hope, but I'm delighted you liked it. It is the perfect song for the day after, especially if the night before was Pendulum

Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone

If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under-15's playing football in the park
Let's sleep in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got

I love you in the morning
When you're still hungover
I love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
I love you in the morning

It's from A Weekend In The City which is a cracking album, start to finish

Elbow – One Day Like This

This was submitted in my very first Walrus which I co-judged with Stu Redman, and here’s what I said at the time:

For some reason I just couldn't click with this song. I wanted to like it, and there were moments when I thought, yeah this is decent but then I'd put it on again and the same doubts about it would surface.

I’d like to retract that statement cos boy did it click this time around, it’s absolutely perfect for this category, and only a trio of stubborn songs above it kept it from a full redemption. Feel bad for scoring it so low the last time out, but hey ho better late than never, right? :P

Oooh fantastic choice Kathleen. One of my favourites. It's hard to not hear this in my head (but that's ok I like Coolio too! )

I ain't tryna preach, I believe I can reach you
But your mind ain't prepared
I'll see you when you get there

I'll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there!

Bell X1 – The Upswing

When I listen to this song I don’t get a chilled out vibe unfortunately, it’s just all a bit too depressing – and this is coming from someone who listens to The Fray :pac: I think this song is very good on the other hand, I just can’t score it any higher as I don’t think it fits the category.

Trigger

:pac: yeah was the wrong choice.. I knew that.. didn't bother me hole to change as I knew you were dealing with Seph..

So..

Sephs fault :pac:

Bubblypop

Lana Del Ray – Young And Beautiful

See the difference in the atmosphere between this and the previous track is what I’m referring to. We’re slowing it down, but not to the pace of being depressing. This strikes the right balance, alongside being just a great track. Really enjoyed this one.

Lemon Jelly – Ramblin Man (Lost Horizons)

Oh dear. I’m afraid I just didn’t click with this one at all. Once upon a time there was an Electric Nitwit who submitted a different Lemon Jelly track that my kids absolutely adored, it propelled him high amongst the scorers in the round – however there is none of this apparent in this track. In fact I’m struggling to understand what the point of it all is unfortunately for the entrant. Not for me, sadly.

This contest needs MOAR country!! Love this one, kinda has me thinking of my own hometown tbh listening to it – not sure what that says about us here in Sligo mind :pac: Great voice, perfect for the round, added bonus of being country… yeah this hit all the right notes with me. The Walrus Wizard strikes again :P

Black Sabbath – Planet Caravan

And again, another track which just does not resonate with me. Look I’m sure Black Sabbath are perfectly grand and all, but why do they have to sound like they’re singing from inside a bottle? I just don’t get it, never have and never will at this point. Gave it a few run throughs and just couldn’t find anything I liked about it. Sorry tpt….

Nathan Evans, Ant Mc Partlin & Declan Donnelly – Wellerman (Saturday Night Takeaway Version)

Not sure if you’re all into Tik Tok or not but this appears to be the latest ‘fad’ that’s taken hold from the video sharing app. This went to the top of the list and was never moving – it’s bloody fantastic. What’s not to love? Sea Shanties? Check. Ant & Dec dancing with brooms? Check? It’s just amazing and I’m addicted to watching the video ever since it was sent to me A winner by a country mile of this category! Well done Spook!
