Wow, you slayed me with Nikki and her sweet ballad but damn this was even better. Honestly one of the best things I've heard in a while. You actually made me listen to their latest album :)

Congrats on a 6th place! What a way to break an nq-streak xheat. Happy to see this up high ^^

Thanks for the wonderful introduction to Purity Ring and I'm looking forward to your next entry xheart

Re: CANADA - WV72: A little bit country, a little bit indie

6th in the final, 6th in the semi. Thanks again for all the support!

For WV72, I've decided to go a bit indie-country for my next entry. As well, the much-anticipated CanadaSong Battle of the Decades NF will choose my entry for WV73 - look out for it!

WORLDVISION 72 CANTERBURY :ca::en:


The Strumbellas - Spirits


Video


Lyrics

I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't

I been looking at the stars tonight
And I think oh, how I miss that bright sun
I'll be a dreamer 'til the day I die
But they say oh, how the good die young
But we're all strange
And maybe we don't wanna change

I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go

I spent a lot of nights on the run
And I think oh, like I'm lost and can't be found
I'm just waiting for my day to come
And I think oh, I don't wanna let you down
Cause something inside has changed
And maybe we don't wanna stay the same

I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh

And I don't want a never ending life
I just want to be alive while I'm here
And I don't want a never ending life
I just want to be alive while I'm here
And I don't want to see another night
Lost inside a lonely life while I'm here

I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh

Re: CANADA - WV72 #01: The Strumbellas - Spirits

As I mentioned in the chat box thread, I have chosen the 5 songs vying to represent Canada in WV73! I would love to do a LL so you can hear the songs before the show gets posted, let me know when would be a good time for all of you

Re: CANADA - WV72 #01: The Strumbellas - Spirits

Oof da. Well, I could do Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings (anytime after 1830CET basically). If we're looking further ahead then things get difficult as I've a fair few busy evenings with my family over Christmas . I'll try my best to vote whether I can make an LL or not :)

Re: CANADA - WV72 #01: The Strumbellas - Spirits

Not sure Wednesday will work due to the possibility of the WV72 final LL being held. Monday could work, but the latest I can start a LL for the NF on Thursday is 21 CET due to work

Ahoy hoy Steph! Super excited for the NF. I don't want to influence when you hold your LL since I probably won't be able to make it, but if you'd like to use this room https://plug.dj/jsa-princeton-2015/ just let me know and I'll make you an admin.

21CET would be fine by me :) As I said though, feel free to ignore when suits me as I'll try and listen to them regardless!

Re: CANADA - CanadaSong 73: Battle of the Decades NF (DDL: 12/30 @ 21 CET)

Canadian music has crossed boundaries and constantly evolved ever since the formation of our country. So for this unique national final I have chosen 5 different songs spanning from the 1960s to today with one of them going to represent Canada at WorldVision 73. And the decision is up to you!

lines-stars-597747.gif


Opening Act
During our WorldVision journeys across Canada, the one place we haven't explored is the North! The opening act of CanadaSong 73 is a 1995 song by Nunavut artist Susan Aglukark

lines-stars-597747.gif


Please listen to each of the candidates below:

The Poppy Family - Which Way You Goin', Billy? (1969)

AJA74Ed.png

Joni Mitchell - Help Me (1974)

HQTZ0u0.png

Luba - How Many (Rivers To Cross) (1986)

kImXcst.png

Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm (1993)

jYQzA7j.png

Matt Mays - Take It On Faith (2012)

lines-stars-597747.gif


Once you've finished listening to all the songs, score them this way:
:12::10::8::6::4:
(12 being the one you like best, 4 being your least favorite)

Now send a PM to esc87fan with your votes. Deadline will be December 30 @ 21 CET (15 EST)

Enjoy!

Voted:

This is basically a good National Final, well done! xclap I only don't like my bottom pointer, dunno why it's not my thing (even though people would suppose it should be.lol). All the others could get my personal support in the semis and/ or final, especially my 12 pointer!

Good luck! xcheer
