I would like to make a plea.

Please do not vote for I Will. It is an incredibly gorgeous song, musically and lyrically. Listen to it again. Focus on the melody, and on the backing vocals in the last third of the song. Focus on all of it. Understand why you shouldn't vote it off yet. Please.

:pray:
 
May I ask a question? What exactly is it about I Will that is so horrible that it deserves to be eliminated before everything else that's left? I just cannot fathom why a song that I feel is so gorgeous is deemed so unfit to continue by eleven(so far) of you. So what is it? What's so horrible about it?
 
Scatterbrain, fuck off.

I Will is much better.

It's fucking boring, man.

Almost as much as How to Disappear Completely.

I just don't like it as much as I like the others.

Lyrically strong, musically slight. Should have gone with a fuller arrangement.

It's boring. It's a b-side.

Now chill the fuck out.
 
He's just taking this so seriously! It's just an internet poll, dude. Who cares what anyone else likes?! Enjoy what you like. :wink:

This is what I said about Dollars and Cents. Didn't make any difference to anyone though. I voted for I Will because it's the most forgettable track on the album.
 
Appreciative of your replies, no matter how much I disagree. Moving on...

Sit Down. Stand Up.

The endless 'raindrops' ending kind of ruins it for me. Cut that off and I wouldn't be voting against it right now because the rest of the song is great.

Not that it makes any difference this round.
 
I like the raindrops thing, especially because it seems to piss so many people off.

If the music behind it wasn't so awesome it would be lame, but I think the song has a great finish.

I quite like it actually, just as I do The Gloaming.

I like the raindrops thing simply because the first time I listened to it in my car ginormous raindrops fell on my windshield from a clear sunny sky. I kid you not. That song has metaphysical powers.
