    When I first seen it I thought to myself that this isnt going to go well, but god I love this so much! It really is a beautiful piece, and I can emphasise with the lyrics, brilliant choice.

    Glad you liked it.

    When I heard Chester Bennington died I listened to this song on repeat for a good 2 hours and just wept.

    At 13, Linkin Park were the band that led me from mainstream pop music, to rock and alternative, my favourite genre ever since.

    Lassykk
    with Badflower – Promise me



    One of my favourites here from the very first listen, got straight into this. Really like the lyrics, the story it tells and it really is a great track. Never heard it before and it went straight to my playlist. Absolutley great choice!

    EN
    with Bruce Springsteen – The River



    Ive only heard one or two of his songs before on random playlists and this one never came up. The song is fantastic, he has a great voice, and I can see where he got his nickname now. Absolutely loved this and its been suck in my head since the very first listen.

    Which means the winner of this round in 1st place with 23 points is
    Statutory Ape
    with Sufjan Steven's - Casimir Pulaski Day



    When I seen this on the play list i didn’t know what to expect, I was half expecting another Baba Yetu. To say I was surprised is an understatement. This really hit home with me, it is an absolute heartbreaking song that hit me right in the feels! And it takes a lot for a song to do that to me. It was instantly my favourite after the first listen and didn’t sway. I adore it. Lyrically beautiful and the singer has a great voice to match. Top Choice!

    As I said in my PM, it seems such a beautiful yet sad encapsulation of the lives of many in middle America, and contains two of the saddest lines of any song I can think of...
    Now all them things that seemed so important
    Well Mister they vanished right into the air
    Now I just act like I don't remember
    Mary acts like she don't care

    Hadn't heard this one before, beautiful.

    Also, I'm taking solace in that fact that Baba Yetu was referenced in a winning post. That's as good as winning the whole thing in my eyes.

    It's a fantastic song, and of course it bodes well for me that you like Badflower for your own Walrus. I'm just glad I sent in my entry for that before this reveal, otherwise it could've been seen as pandering... :D

    If you did mention them previously, I wasn't aware of it. I actually thought it was a risky submission and almost went for something "safer". Purely coincidental.

    with Elton John – Indian Sunset

    Enter Cheat code here. A proper Lyrical Beast, It really is an amazing song, ive never heard it before, well at least I cant remember hearing it before I went deaf. The story it tells is amazing, really highlights the plight around the American Indians. Throwing that together with Elton Johns voice. Yeah its fantastic. Love it and would be one I could listen to again and again

    It's unreal, I only found it myself in the last few years but it's definitely one of my favourite songs of all-time. The version you posted Trigger is perfect for this round, as it's based on lyrics, but the power of the album version can't be beaten...



    I'm liking a lot of the entries in these first 2 rounds, picking up some great new music which is the aim of the game for me.

    Good hosting Trigger, hopefully you'll time one of these reveals more appropriately for us vampires :pac:

    Right lets get cracking, the category is

    “Classic Rock Anthem/Ballad
    I have progressed steadily through different genre's when rehabilitating starting with Acoustic songs. Rock and Indie Rock being my two favourite with my new Ear give me a Classic that will make me smile.”

    I loved all of these again, well apart from one. I have heard a few of them before, but the majority are new to me, so many great choices.

    This is going to be a Speed reveal, they will be coming out thick and fast!

    I like the song, it’s a cracking tune, it was down lower until I listened to it on my late mothers birthday and it brought back all sorts of emotion, she loved Tom Cruise and Top Gun and this one was easily recognisable.
