Round 1 Poll 58
Select the sequestered song to survive the skirmish:
Echolocation - OrcaMind
Rum and Cigar - Joakim Stiernspetz
Echolocation： 「Michelle says that she had been laying on the floor, exhausted and burned out from being so busy, when the melody/lyrics came to her, so she got off the floor and started recording it. It's like the first original song that she wrote and produced by herself.
It's about not giving up, pushing through a slump, and the support systems that help us keep going, and communicating in unique ways like through music, and also orcas use echolocation! Symbolism! The video uses a lot of symbolism too. Somehow, together, we can survive. Additionally, Gecko Vocation can help you save 15% or more on bop insurance.」
Rum and Cigar： 「Listen. LISTEN. I am the ONLY fucking views on like HALF of his music on youtube, and on a good chunk of the rest of it there was only one single lonely view before me. He has an avg 10 monthly spotify listeners (tho i dont use spotify, it just showed up when i googled his name). Apparently yt music doesnt add to normal youtube statistics, but I like his music and I have literally NOBODY to talk to about it 😭 I stumbled across him completely by accident, and it was this song, and it's still my favourite (tho Revy and Underbart Kaos are also up there). Technically it's a christmas song, but it's so interesting and not traditionally christmas-y and I love it. It has a nice latin beat and it's one of those groovy fun depressed songs lol (sound vs lyrics). Please PLEASE give him a chance even tho there is absolutely zero chance anyone else is going to submit him. Unless my rec a while back on a popular tumblr post asking for obscure music actually reached someone but I doubt it. I will champion this old swedish man even if nobody else will!! I have no idea about how many listens it has on spotify, and youtube music doesn't give stats, but the youtube video for this song has only 94 views, so surely in the limits even with the other platforms. It's by far the most popular video he has on his channel.」
