So how my NF works is that you have 72 hours to vote in round one for your two favourite songs. The two songs with the most votes will progress to the finals, which will also be 72 hours or so. Send me your PMs!

ALSO: If anyone can help me with figuring out how to use the polls that would be great, lol, because I tried doing that and now I have like 15 options and and the songs are all listed three times.

For more artist information in this NF, head to the top of the thread!

The polls aren't working correctly so whenever you edit a poll it goes crazy. You should just ask some mod to delete your current poll and then make a new one.

Re: New Acadia - NSC 53 - Preparations underway! VOTE!

Okay, well since the polls aren't working like I wish they were as well as having a song that already participated (oops) I decided that I'm just going to hand select one... and I picked Les Trois Accords, with "Ton Avion"!

Re: New Acadia - NSC 53 - Les Trois Accords - Ton Avion

Les Trois Accords (tr. The Three Chords), are a rock band from Drummondville, Québec, and got their big break with their first album, Gros mammouth album in 2003. Their most prominent show was in September 2005, when they opened for The Rolling Stones in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, which drew approximately 85 000 spectators. Instead of focusing their music on logic, rationality, and political commentary, the lyrics of Les Trois Accords stand out in the Québec music circuit because they offer something that is similar to the Québec punk scene of the 90's. Their lyrics often contain puns and wordplay. Their entry, Ton Avion, is from their Second full-length album, Grand Champion International de Course, released in 2006.

Lyrics:

Non non, ne prends pas ton avion
Quand tu pars tout est long
Tout est long
(x2)

En sortant de l’aéroport
Je retournerai à l’endroit
Où tu m’as dit je t’aime fort
Où tu m’avais dit que parfois

Tu aimais renifler l’odeur
De mes mitaines à 3 couleurs
C’était avant les détergents

Non non, ne prends pas ton avion
Quand tu pars tout est long
Tout est long
(x2)

Translation:
No, no, don't take your airplane
When you leave, everything is longer
Everything is longer
(x2)

Leaving for the airport
I will return to the location
Where you said you loved me so much
Where you already said that sometimes

You loved to smell the odour
Of my tri-coloured mittens
This was before the detergent

No, no, don't take your airplane
When you leave, everything is longer
Everything is longer
(x2)

Re: New Acadia - NSC 53 - Les Trois Accords - Ton Avion

The Prime Minister of New Acadia sends his regrets, as he has been away dealing with international affairs, and has failed to comment on our qualification until now. He would like to thank all those who have voted our song this month in and wishes everyone the best of luck in the final!

Re: New Acadia - NSC 54 - LoveHateHero - America Underwater

Even though your NSC 53-entry was also super-woog this might be the best New Acadian entry to date. Excellent choice! :D

Re: New Acadia - NSC 54 - LoveHateHero - America Underwater

Thanks for the very positive comments on the song!

Here are the lyrics to this month's entry!:

I used to feel so invincible
'Till I was seconds away
From losing everything
There's nothing worse than feeling alone
And my world was falling
With no one to catch me

It all seems so trivial
I guess I'm not as strong
Not even close

I'm on my own
Never been more afraid to leave
Our love has gone
Hand in hand and we'll sing this song
We've lost our homes
It's only gonna get better
If we work as one
Tomorrow can be brighter for us all

It's all over now and again and maybe after
I can just skip straight through the second chapter
Wake up with my whole life around me
Bring twice is falling to pieces

It can't be worse than feeling alone
And my world was falling
With no one to catch me
It all seems so trivial
I guess I'm not as strong
Not even close

I'm on my own
Never been more afraid to leave
Our love has gone
Hand in hand and we'll sing this song
We've lost our homes
It's only gonna get better
If we work as one
Tomorrow can be brighter for us all

We're a part of it
Can't deny it
Our hearts are all bleeding as one
From the east side, to the west side
I'll turn my back on no one

I'm on my own
Never been more afraid to leave
Our love has gone
Hand in hand and we'll sing this song
We've lost our homes
It's only gonna get better
If we work as one
Tomorrow can be brighter for us all (x2)

Re: New Acadia - NSC 55??

Okay guys, need your help. I'm wondering what song you guys would like to see representing New Acadia for NSC 55! I'm giving two choices, and I'm torn between the two. I'm going to keep the songs secret, and just give you a short description:

A French ballad?
OR
An English electronica song?

The polls aren't working for me, so post your response! :D
