Thank you again for this tournament you organised! I now have 23 more songs I listen to regularly that I discovered thanks to the polls (although 7 of them weren't directly in the skirmish, just from the same album as one of the polled songs.) (I use the "comment" section of mp3 files to note where I know my songs from)
That’s awesome! I’m so glad to have provided a gateway for finding great music that we would have probably never found otherwise.
#inquiry#it added a lot of new stuff to my library too#part of me wants to do it again but i’d burn myself out more haha#there’s a world in which season two happens over the summer but don’t expect it

Song of the Year 2023 Nominations Open
been a while since i hosted a tumblr poll tournament! this one is Song of the Year! we're here to find what the best song released in 2023 was!
only rule is that the song had to be initially released in 2023. if it's a vague area, explain in the form but i'll probably let it through.
happy nominations!

Did you know the reason I completely disappear sometimes for several weeks at a time is because I am bad at time management

I planned to draw a podium with the album covers or something on it (and make a simple album cover Bound for Hell) for the results announcement, but I can’t currently move either of my wrists or my right thumb, so I will not be doing that for the time being. When I make the announcement, just act like no time has passed and it is totally punctual, haha.

The House of God： 「IT IS ABOUT A HOUSE THAT IS A GOD THAT IS A FLESH HOUSE!!! HOROR!!! BRILLIANT LYRICS AND MINOR STORYTELLING!!!! IT'S PART OF A SERIES OF SONGS!! IT IS A HOUSE!!!!!」
youtube
hourglass： 「hourglass is a pop-like song written, performed, and produced by one person: yacine! Utilizing a more dream-like feeling in the music production, the lyrics share what's it's like to go through day by day and night by night while bearing the stresses of daily living. yacine! also references their faith as a Muslim person, "Inshallah you'll guide me / Inshallah you'll listen" which represents the faith that helps guide them through their day-by-day.
Also, yacine! is just criminally under discovered as a whole. Imo, she deserves way much more views/listens. (Also, yacine! uses any pronouns!)」

Bound For Hell： 「The Mercenaries were a garage-rock-ska-punk-ish band performing on the Sydney, Australia pub circuit around the 1980s, and alas, they never really took off. They produced a single album, 'Soldiers of Misfortune' which was never formally released and only given on CD to band members. (Your friendly neighbourhood submitter happens to be the lead singer's daughter.) 'Bound for Hell' is the band's most popular original composition, and was used as a gig closer.」
