[Back One Out]

Can someone tell me why Seether got so many billies?

I can't speak for the others, but I thought it was like a bad Silverchair tribute band.... but a full decade after the grunge explosion.
Superfluous crap music: annoyingly repetitive and lame.

I'd rather listen to Nickelback than Seether.

Yere Faga (Suicide)

Don′t kill yourself because of suffering
No-one should commit suicide because of pain

My brothers and sisters, we should not take our own lives
Because of suffering
My brothers and sisters, no-one should kill themselves
Life on earth is not easy, but-no one should kill themselves
Living among humans is challenging, but don't kill yourself
Today′s people are not easy to live with, but don't take your own life

When you succeed among your peers, you'll suffer from their jealousy
When you become the pride of your mother, your troubles will also start
When you become the pride of your father, your troubles will also start
So why would you kill yourself and leave your children in deep sorrow?
They will be mistreated and be called "sons of a whore"
Uhumm, don′t kill yourself over suffering, because it will not stop

Don′t kill yourself because of suffering
No-one should commit suicide because of pain

Don't kill yourself over suffering, uhumm
Look at me Sangaré Oumou, I did not kill myself over pain

Yébé, don′t take your own life because of suffering
Humm Yébé, you should not take your own life

Madame (Mrs) Cissé, don't kill yourself over pain
Your siblings count on you, please don′t take your own life
Your children love you, don't kill yourself over any kind of pain
Cissé loves you, please don′t kill yourself over suffering
Your singer Sangaré loves you, don't kill yourself over suffering
So why would you kill yourself and leave us in deep sorrow?
They will be mistreated and be called "sons of a whore"

Yébé, uhumm, don't kill yourself over suffering, because it will not stop
Don′t kill yourself because of suffering
No-one should commit suicide because of pain

Seydou, don′t kill yourself over suffering
Seydou Kane, please don't take your own life
Seydou of Mabine Alaher, please don′t kill yourself over pain
Seydou Kane of Libreville, please don't kill yourself over suffering

Cissé Ba loves you, please don′t kill yourself over suffering
Your siblings count on you, please don't take your own life
Your children love you, don′t kill yourself over any kind of pain
Your fellow Malians count on you, please don't take your own life
Amadou Kane loves you, don't kill yourself over suffering
Uhmm Seydou, no-one should take their own life
You are blessed by Yacouba Kane, don′t kill yourself over suffering
The whole of Nioro town loves you, don′t kill yourself over suffering
So why would you kill yourself and leave your children in deep sorrow?

They will be mistreated and called sons of a womaniser
Seydou, uhumm, don't kill yourself over suffering, because it will not stop

Don′t kill yourself because of suffering
No-one should commit suicide because of pain

Have you not seen me? I did not take my own life

 

[Bob Neil]

Unexpected win but glad that song struck a chord. Hadn’t thought of a theme but how about songs about places - has that been done?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

When are you changing yours back to whatever it was?

I enjoyed Filthy's song a lot, too. Powerful meaning (I also looked it up).

 

[Riviat]

Unexpected win but glad that song struck a chord. Hadn’t thought of a theme but how about songs about places - has that been done?

Pretty sure we've done songs with cities, suburbs, and locations in the title previously.

Just checked and this was done in round 365 so perhaps an alternative could be Anything Medical Related?

 

[hotchilli]

5 Seether - Remedy Riviat
4 Ces Petits Riens · Angélique Kidjo Purple7x08_24
3 Khala My Friend · Amanaz TubbsFarquhar
2 William Onyeabor - Fantastic Man Stokey
1 Omah Lay - soso raskolnikov

BM Selection No. 3 · Khamis El Fino Ali endure

 

[Bob Neil]

If that theme (“Anything Medical Related”) is all clear by the mods then gets noms in by 10pm AEST Monday with no artist double ups and no previously nominated songs just to keep it interesting.

 

[Stokey]

Crazy! 15 out of 25 gave it something. That's a huge turnout.

It was just very generic in an otherwise eclectic round.

 

[Stokey]

Fantastic Man started out great then I thought my sound card died


Twice

Went from 4 to o hm

The actual version goes for 9mins.

 

[GreyCrow]

I did medical. Places was 400+ rounds ago so different players will mean a new list

The Cancer round (#743) or was there an actual medical one?
edit: Ah hospitals in round #710?

 

[Back One Out]

I thought Seether was ok. Not great but not the billy

I listened to it again and it's not half as bad as I first thought. Sorry Riviat

I don't really care about the billy. It should be abolished. (I've always thought that.)
Half the time, the billy is awarded to a song because of baggage around it, not because it's the worst tune.

If someone (including me) hears a song and has visceral hate/dislike/irritated reaction then the problem is with the listener, not the music
I generally find the worst music is boring, derivative muzak that does absolutely nothing, but goes in one ear and out yer mutha

All good. I had a feeling it was going to be a devisive nom.

 

[Fossie 32]

5 Diaraby Playing For CHange GreyCrow 8th 8.5 / 10
4 Jeremy Loops MP_ 3rd 8..4
3 Miriam Makeba RedmanWasHere 6th 8.2
2 Alghalem Drunkgoliath 5th 8.2
1 Ces Petit Purple7x08_24 8th 8.2

HMs Sore, Blou and Omah Lay 8.2

Don't do BMs here but it wasn't Seether which I thought wasn't bad ....... Just So Ya Know

 

[Back One Out]

All good. I had a feeling it was going to be a devisive nom.

It's probably a badge of honour to finish 4th with 27 votes from 8 people, plus 7 billies.

That's getting a reaction.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

I did medical. Places was 400+ rounds ago so different players will mean a new list

I've already nommed something, and it's something I've never nommed before

 

[Bob Neil]

Ok so after all that it seems that Places is a fresher topic than Medical so Places it is. Pls get noms in by 10pm AEST Monday with no artist double ups and no previously nominated songs.
