Best Song Survivor v2: No Line on the Horizon

[gvox]

Gabriel you've gone too far
Gabriel you've gone too far
And you must hang your head in shame
For these wounds I cannot stay
You've gone too far

You know that cross-posting is, like, a near-bannable offense now, right?

Reported.

[Galeongirl]

judging by last round I'm calling this now, Stand Up Comedy will be in the top 6 in the 2018 poll.

 

[Axver]

So, Theme From The Swan and Viva Davidoff can't get a vote, but Soon has got twelve? What the hell. That result's going to look hilarious in a few years.

In a few years?

YEAH! Let's bust out the ban-hammer with this affront to all that is good, this quoting Hot Chip lyrics.

Somebody kick cobbler's desk, his needle is stuck

 

[FitzChivalry]

No Line On The Horizon, Moment Of Surrender, Cedars of Lebanon, Soon

 

[PennyLanePHINS]

Might be a bit cheesy, but I'd rather Unknown Caller make it over Cedars. Glad NLOTH is doing well.

Should've voted for it, but neither is making it out of the next round anyway.

Not as hilarious as finding out during this contest that there are actually people who love Viva Davidoff and feel it deserves the same praise as a song like Soon

I'd say they're both on the same level: short and fairly inconsequential but mildly interesting mood pieces. I don't see why people who wouldn't vote for Viva Davidoff in a million years consider Soon any more worthy of note, except that it's still got that 360 glow to help it out in the polls.

 

[cobl04]

I don't think I've ever heard Soon. If it did it obviously didn't make a big impression on me.

 

[gareth brown]

while i agree there may be a bit of a post-tour glow with some people, i don't agree that you can just lump Soon and Viva Davidoff together and write them both off as "inconsequential"

Soon's got a pretty interesting arrangement, some really beautiful layered vocals and that catchy singalongy 'verse' bit...Viva Davidoff is an interesting track but it's ultimately forgettable to a lot of people, moreso than Soon by a long stretch.

It's not completely outrageous that people will vote for a more straightforward song over a piece of ambient music released as a b-side that a lot of people just find a bit dull when they find it.

love Theme From The Swan though
