Song Contest Part XXII, Host: Ocha905, Theme: Artists TubbsFarquhar Has Nommed, Noms Due: Friday 8am AEDT Time

[Fossie 32]

I can already guess Fossie 32 nomination this round

 

[Ocha905]

Efa spudmaster (changed to Quaye instead of Quade)

 

[MC Bad Genius]

In 6th position with 22 votes & 1 billy (555421B) is True Love Will Find You In The End by Daniel Johnston, as nominated by MC Bad Genius

I'm genuinely surprised by that, but pleasantly surprised. This was the first song that we played to my daughter when she was born (one day old in the hospital), so it's always going to hold a very special place in my heart.

And I think knowing Daniel's story makes the naivety of some of his songs that little bit more tragic. As it turns out, true love didn't really find him. I can't recommend the documentary about him - The Devil & Daniel Johnston - highly enough. Truly heartbreaking insight into a creative life so impacted by mental illness.

I almost nominated this live version, because it brought me to tears watching him:



I saw him play a few times around the time of this video and it was just so hard to watch.

Ha, I looked up Daniel Johnston on RYM and saw the cover art of "Hi, How Are You: The Unfinished Album" and knew it looked familiar.

Yeah, the version with more views had that graphic as the background, so I had to find a different version to maintain at least some anonymity!

5 - Daniel Johnston - True Love Will Find You MC Bad Genius - cover of this was released recently in a surfy style by an English bloke called Crybaby. Might like it - might think it's sacrilege

Both! If I didn't know the original, I'd definitely like that one even more though!

 

[the fly]

Build Me Up Buttercup is a strange one for me with the juxtaposition of the lyrics and the music.

 

[por_please_ya]

A couple of people need to re-nom ..... Toump Ass MP_ ....

 

[por_please_ya]

Well.... if anyone wants to join feel free to send me a nom and I'll add it in the end somewhere.

But here's the list Sorry, no time to put them out individually!

Enjoy!

I haven't been here long enough to know what you guys like, other than I nominated the Sax song last round for Stokey and he didn't play

 

[Stokey]

Don’t get me started on you for not giving me votes last round

I was waiting on a different story

That story can remain between a select few

 

[spudmaster]

Don’t get me started on you for not giving me votes last round

You* got my 5 but I have a bone to pick with you for getting DQ'd in round 916 when I nommed them earlier in the year

*knowing it wasn't me who nommed them last round, I wasn't buying your 'retired' BS for a second

[spudmaster]

Yeah yeah, fool me once...etc.
I'll let you know whether you've retired or not once I flick through the playlist

 

[MWPP]

My 5 and 4 were songs that I thought of immediately when I saw the theme. In the end I went with the song that best reflected my recent headspace after being spoilt for choice.
