Boys Like Girls – The Great Escape

Catchy and vibrant punk rock song with a great feel. The lyrics are relatable to anyone going through a transition in life leaving things behind. “The great escape” could be about escaping a period in your life that you’ve outgrown and that you’ve found a happier place, and a place of greater maturity. I think it’s a great song both in terms of the structure, rhythm, feeling and how relatable the song is in terms of the lyrics. 81/100

Peter Schilling – Major Tom

Electric punchy 80s vibes, great tempo and rhythm. The Vocals are quite intriguing both in terms of content but also rhythm. The start is quite tame but the sense of something building delivers a high level of anticipation built up by the countdown into some beautiful vocals. The song delivers a somewhat chaotic structure that only builds to a greater level of intrigue. Like Bowie, It’s fascinating discovering the unexpected components of the song, and it’s the unexpected chaos that makes the song highly intriguing. I’m not really sure on the hidden meanings of the song but the overall feel of the song sounds quite dreamlike. The song is quite the discovery and a solid nomination.

92/100



The Temper Trap – Riverina

I’ve always been fond of The Temper Trap both for it’s punchy beats particularly the tempo, but the vocals are always on point and Dougy Mandagi never fails to disappoint. The song’s got a great feel and from the get go, the hook catches and it’s hard not to be invested. The song’s got a deep meaning and for me it’s highly relatable and gave me the best feels of any of the songs in the playlist. The build up for the song is gradual and builds to great intensity within the last 30 seconds. For me, the song delivers strong feelings of loneliness and being stuck in a rut. I feel for me it’s about dreaming of being in a place that you once remember. For me this could be childhood where you’re basically care free without all the worries in the world we experience as adults. I found this to be a beautiful song with purpose.

95/100

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be lol. But it isn't really my thing

I'm all for artists giving their own spin on songs, but they need to do a good job of doing so. Kasey Chambers covering Eminem was about as good as I expected it to be. Anything but.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I thought it was you whoring them off again. How many times have they won/podiumed here? Been a few now

 

[Ligma]

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be lol. But it isn't really my thing

I thought if the men and women watched the vid of them twerking it would get it over the line

I enjoyed the first thirty seconds of it, but realised that was the youtube ad.
