Gru

Duke Special - No cover up

I went back and forth on this song, between really liking it and then being very ambivalent towards it. Tried to come to a happy medium but nope, this is about as high as I can put it.

John Grant - Pale Green Ghosts

This was certainly an experience and I can definitely see how this would be incredible for some. Unfortunately I am an un-cultured, unwashed heathen from the West of Ireland and it didn’t really get me going like I wanted it to.

Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come

There have really been some lovely songs submitted already into this round, people with fantastic voices, orchestras etc. But sadly it just isn’t my sort of thing. No denying that Sam has a fantastic voice, but the song just a bit too sleep-inducing to rank any higher.

Kim Wilde-Can't Get Enough (of Your Love)

Oh here we go, something I can get my teeth into, unashamed 80s glory! I just felt the chorus wasn’t powerful enough rather bizarrely. Like she was holding back or something? So it ended up here. I really enjoyed all the songs from this one onwards mind.

Irish Aris

I think John Grant's song was submitted in another walrus recently, really good song.

My Indigo - Star Crossed Lovers

This is a great song, I love her voice. Quality in the category is ramping up a good bit now. Good choice.

Everything I wanted - Billie Eilish

Eilish is certainly flavour of the last year or so, I like some of her stuff apart from when she drops into *shudders* dubstep. Thankfully she seems to be leaning towards more civilized songs nowadays and this is a very good example of it. Very similar to No Time To Die in some ways.

Well, I was hoping for something better, but at least I keep avoiding bottome 3.

Elliot Smith: Waltz # 2

Not gonna lie, when I saw this entry come up initially I said to myself – WALTZ? What the fcuk is someone doing sending me waltzes in a category so open!
However once I calmed down and whacked it on I really enjoyed it and nodded to myself… ‘That’s why – it’s pretty bloody good!’

Irish Aris

btw Necro, you skipped number 13

Where We're Going - Gerry Cinammon

Halsey - You should be sad

Firstly, that video… DAMNNNNNNNN!! Now I remember why I used to use YouTube :P I mean it likely would have bumped this a couple of places but it’s a really good song regardless of that. The ones above are just a tad better, imo anyways.

Monster - Lady Gaga

I know this contender was going for a.... specific theme, but if you’re gonna enter a GaGa song into a solo category the winners for me are Pokerface or Paparazzi, in no particular order. This isn’t bad mind.

Josh Ritter - Stuck to You

Honestly, spoken songs like this only usually work for me if it’s Cash singing them. However, I enjoyed the humour in this quite a bit so it climbed a decent bit in the rankings as a result.

I'm in the dangerzone now...

Easily the most played song on my Spotify this year... there's been times where I've just had it on repeat for the best part of an hour... it's been a bit like a security blanket for me during lockdown...

Been waiting for the right Walrus Host and Category to submit it to, and I had guessed you might like it.

Jerry Cantrell - Cut You In

This is very Nirvana-esque at the start, early style grunge I think? Enjoyed it as a result.

Kolido

Cant remember what I nominated here but I reckon I got it all wrong.

Green&Red

Hannah Grace - With you

I loved this, and only for the quality of the higher ranked songs this was right up there. Very unique voice imo, yeah great choice.

This is one of those songs that really tweaks a deep emotion in me, for some unknown reason. Love it!
