    Chris Isaak – Wicked Game







    Mostly familiar with this from Friends which is where I heard it first. I know it’s a classic but I’ve always find it slightly whiny if I’m honest. A bit more on the depressing side than I’d like too, so here is about right for it.

    Jack L – Lost in Limbo







    This guy’s voice is incredible. I’d love him to sing me to sleep, in fact he did a few times this week :) Really enjoyed this song, it’s a little loud for a chilled Saturday, but lookit – I spent a whole hour the week before last listening to Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up on loop so I can’t really knock points off for that :pac:

    Stephen Barton – Apex Legends Main Theme







    An… interesting entry. Someone trying to not so subtly get me to play Apex Legends maybe? Really like the theme, it’s a tad repetitive though on repeated listens so here seems about the right spot for it.

    Frankie Goes To Hollywood – The Power of Love


    I’m not gone on this song, there I said it. I know – sacrilege right? That being said it does capture exactly what I’m looking for here in this round. AND…. I will admit, it’s growing on me with each listen.

    I do like this song but it reminds me of Christmas

    Massive Attack – Teardrop






    I know everyone goes a bit cuckoo for this track in the tournaments but I must admit I never felt that with this song, so I was intrigued getting it submitted to a Walrus so I could give it a proper lash. I think my problem with the song is that the beat promises something the song never really delivers, a crashing finale. I think it deserves a bit more ‘oomph’ injected into it, but hey what would I know. Anyways, it’s fine *insert Ross Geller gif* definitely suited to the category, and overall mid table is sort of perfect for it from my own perspective.

    Tolu Makay & RTE Orchestra – N17






    I absolutely adore the Saw Doctors and the original would have done excellently in the previous round – I love how this is stripped back and focuses on the lyrics though, very very enjoyable version.

    I do love Teardrop, but agree it's a bit overrated. That said, it's probably in the top five songs on that album ;) (because Massive Attack really are brilliant!)

    Tina Turner – What’s Love Got To Do With It







    Ah a nice mellow classic, I do like me some Tina. While I’d prefer stuff like Proud Mary and Simply The Best, this was the correct choice for this category. Much more understated and one I would definitely put onto a playlist for my lazy Saturdays.

    Call Back – Paper Lions







    Such a happy track, really enjoyed this one. Just sitting here clicking my fingers thinking about the chorus now. Another one I haven’t heard before but is going onto my Spotify regular list once I detangle myself from this Walrus :P

    my kid wanted me to enter the Halo theme song into a religious/spiritual category for Rikand's walrus i think it was.

    I overruled and sent something else though :pac:

    KT Tunstall – Journey






    This is right up my alley in terms of what I would have in regular rotation. Haven’t heard much from KT, but am planning to take a deep dive once this is over. Nice choice.

    Nice. KT's debut album, in particular, is brilliant

    Leslie Odom Jr. – Wait For It (feat. Hamilton Cast)






    I’ve got a feeling there’s an underlying theme to Barney’s entries :P This is just fantastic, I love his voice, the various pitches and tones he is able to produce is incredible. Yeah this production is absolutely right up my alley.

    Canon’s Pachelbel in D






    Love this, it reminds me of the instrumental piece the band played on the deck of the Titanic in that movie... Lusitania was it? :pac: Easily the most heartbreaking part of the movie.

    Definitely would throw this on to relax on a Saturday evening. Clever choice, because it’s very different from a lot of the others too which makes it stand out a bit more.







    Okay it's clearly not the same, but it's kind of similar...

    The Steve Miller Band – Joker







    Did Shaggy steal the beginning part of this for It Wasn’t Me? Seems similar anyways. Love this song, it was very close to going into the top three but on the last few listens familiarity dropped this one down a couple of places. Still class though.

    Tempted to deduct points for trolling :P Nah seriously this is just a great track, one I hadn’t heard before and from the first listen I just really enjoyed it. The chorus just brings it home and solidifies it here for me. There may be hope for me yet EN ;)

    Whoo-hoo! :D
    Ha ha, I'm not sure aligning with my tastes is necessarily cause for hope, but I'm delighted you liked it. It is the perfect song for the day after, especially if the night before was Pendulum :p
    Heavy night, it was a heavy night
    Feels like we've come back from the dead
    Heavy night, it was a heavy night
    I cannot remember what I said to anyone

    If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon
    Watch the under-15's playing football in the park
    Let's sleep in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
    We're doing the best with what we've got

    I love you in the morning
    When you're still hungover
    I love you in the morning
    When you're still strung out
    I love you in the morning

    It's from A Weekend In The City which is a cracking album, start to finish

    Elbow – One Day Like This







    This was submitted in my very first Walrus which I co-judged with Stu Redman, and here’s what I said at the time:

    For some reason I just couldn't click with this song. I wanted to like it, and there were moments when I thought, yeah this is decent but then I'd put it on again and the same doubts about it would surface.


    I’d like to retract that statement cos boy did it click this time around, it’s absolutely perfect for this category, and only a trio of stubborn songs above it kept it from a full redemption. Feel bad for scoring it so low the last time out, but hey ho better late than never, right? :P
