Re: WV Spin-Off #58 - ALBUM SONGS - NEW DEADLINE March 29th - 16:00 CET!!
Congratulations to Croatia!!!!! Damn, what a winner!
That top 2 is stellar, but there are some songs down the scoreboard that deserve special mention. Kai's song was among the most bleak in his catalogue, and I'm glad to see that it certainly had its supporters. Iceland in last is a damn shame - I love Björk anyway, but that was in the upper echelons in her catalogue. A really strange and hard to listen to piece that I enjoyed immensely.
As for my own placing. God, you guys actually made me emotional watching this. I've been a fan of Johnny Cash for pretty much my whole life but had somehow missed this album which received a pretty negative critical reception and not a lot of commercial success either. When I first heard this song, it gave me great pain, and I knew it was too much for the main game and had to shine in a spinoff where it could come last and I wouldn't care. Up until the results started, that's exactly what I thought would happen, and to see it in 12th (though out of 20) is such a blessing. Thank you all so, so, so, so much; it means an unbelievable amount to do well with this man who means so much, this song that I fell in love with instantly, and this oftentimes highly inaccessible, dirty, ugly, but deeply tragic genre. I love you all
Oh and [MENTION=7006]Hele.[/MENTION]? I'm glad you got the chance to host on your own; you sure as heck made the most of it - everything was beautiful and supremely organized.
