Tusk's Walrus - Le Reveal

Pretzill · 18-10-2019 3:56pm

You know you could be onto something Tusky, I love this song it could be the best song in the world but perhaps Kate's part is dragging it down

I love her though. I could just have easily put Cloudbusting here, or anything off of The Kick Inside and similarly from Peter Gabriel any of his really - but I like the two together, (She also features on Mercy Street and Games Without Frontiers)

Phew

I'm

Not

Last

tusk · 18-10-2019 3:57pm

And on we go into the final threes...

Are you top or bottom...

Lettuce see shall we

tusk · 18-10-2019 4:00pm

The Medway Boys AKA

Trigger

getting 3 points for Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

Notes

Listen 1 : it's grand. it's way overplayed in my head, was probably super cool when it first came out, but it's lost magic along the way

Listen2: Bleh. Overplayed and has been ruined for me.

Sorry trig, this is a decent song, but absolutely ruined due to overplaying.

Necro · 18-10-2019 4:00pm

Iris in the bottom three makes me sad

Electric Nitwit · 18-10-2019 4:00pm

Wow, how many Walrus' has Iris been in now?

(which I guess backs up the overplayed comment)

18-10-2019 4:01pm

Pretzil, that’s an amazing song!

Home shortly and I’ll get listening.

Not as many as Nick blooming Cave :pac::pac::pac:

TheValeyard · 18-10-2019 4:01pm

Are we still on the first round :eek

tusk · 18-10-2019 4:02pm

Starting our top 3 out is Pompey Pirates -

Spook

with Everyday by Slade and grabbing a tasty 25 points

Notes

Listen1: after about 5 seconds this song already had me rummaging through my emotions. I love it. Very chill, but at the same time there's an intensity that would easily put it in the belter section too.

Listen2: That Intro - 'everyday' jaysus just has so much emotion in it. and the following 'and you know' kicks me right in the teeth. I love this. I can see myself belting this out and actually bringing myself to tears while doing it. LOVE IT.

Ha, I definitely get that its overplayed, I feel ya, sure all mine will be I'd say. Also wouldnt expect you to understand the emotion I feel when I listen to this mainly because you wouldnt know why. So here is the reason. I have been deaf since I was 12/13 and got the cochlear implant 2 years ago. Music is part of the rehab to that. While i had to stick to songs with low musical numbers at the start(basically acoustic) this is the first song I listened to that was kind of different genre, with musical solos, I could hear clearly all aspects of it so it has a huge bearing on my love for music these days.

And tbh, it's a cracking tune and I love it

TheValeyard · 18-10-2019 4:04pm

If I knew Tusk was going to take this so seriously I would have picked some truly long and horrible songs.

Pretzill · 18-10-2019 4:04pm

Love Everyday, great choice.

wow. I'm glad I didn't know that, because you'd have won straight out :pac:

I'm so happy you're able to experience music Trig. I take it for granted so much and I don't know if I could survive without it to be honest. Almost in tears

18-10-2019 4:06pm

Ah FFS tusk, give trigger a million zillion bonus points!

The mans just found music and who didn’t like it the first time we heard it?

Electric Nitwit · 18-10-2019 4:06pm

Trig, that's fücking beautiful mate, reading that is the most emotional I'll be this round

I've never heard that song but it is going straight onto a playlist. Love it spook

Wow Trigger I've just gotten goosebumps. It must be amazing for you.

Is it a rule of Walrus that Iris has to be submitted at least once?
Bleh is right!

The one group if they did a come back tour with Noddy, I'd sell people into slavery to get a ticket

18-10-2019 4:09pm

Trigger needs to host a walrus!

Necro · 18-10-2019 4:09pm

You know Trigger, you could run your own Walrus at some point and it might be a fantastic experience for you

That's such a lovely story though, fair play for sharing mate.

OK, thats a solid enough reason!
How bad do you feel Tusk for not putting it higher??

tusk · 18-10-2019 4:11pm

The Untouchables -

Electric Nitwit

Scoring 2nd last place with About today by The National

notes:

listen1: Liking the intro tune. What is with the vocals though. I hope it gets better .... Bit of violin in the background is nice. Vocals are still ruining it so far. It's like he's trying to be Leondard Cohen or Nick Cave or something. He's trying to sing deep for the sake of it? It's really offputting which sucks ass because I can see this being unreal with a different vocalist. I think i'd listen to this again, but i'd be annoyed by the vocals still. Does he always sing like this?

Listen2: Based on the intro alone I give it 9. And then the vocals come in. Really? What is this lad doing.

Sorry EN

tusk · 18-10-2019 4:17pm

And in Second Place at the top we have The Wild Boys -

Green&Red

with 26 points for Neele Ternes - Dad

Notes:

Listen1: first few seconds had me tearing up. I don't especially like that style of singing, the way they say certain words really lazily or something, it usually annoys me but this song is nice. her voice is nice. the music is quite beautiful. lyrics are nice, overall a lovely piece of tunage. this is the type of song i'll find myself listening to for days on end and ruining for myself. which is the mark of something special for me

Listen2: Ooooh there's a bit of twinge of emotion off the bat on this one. I like it. There's a serious energy to her singing. The music captures the emotion well too. I like it. The O-O-O-O bit i'm not hugely a fan of, but she has a bit of a belt afterwards which balances that out and then straight into the next verse beautifully.

Electric Nitwit · 18-10-2019 4:17pm

What I actually wrote in my submission...

"There's many songs in the world that deal with relationships imploding dramatically but this perfectly captures a much more realistic end, that quiet helplessness as two people just drift apart. Imperceptible at first, until one day one realises. The conversation stops flowing, the little gestures dry up and somewhere a line is crossed. Then, perhaps too late, the second person realises. That's the space this song occupies, and I find it gut wrenchingly sad"

Jesus christ. I couldn't even finish reading this because that is like the most emotional thing in the world for me. I'm gonna have to go back and listen again to get that from the song

Sad song from Neele Ternes, she has that dare I say it ...Ronan Keating gurr in her vocal armour which I really don't like. But a lovely song.
