I apologize for not getting this out earlier yesterday. I’ll get SILYMI rolling later tonight. Anyways I’m gonna go with Three’s a Charm It’s just such an early era TSL song. Also absolutely love the video for it.
Three's a Charm. One of their best songs. So is GLD, to be fair, but Three's a Charm is just a cut above.
With a final score of 7-4 "Greg's Last Day" will represent With Hopes of Starting Over in the final final bracket. Now it's time to move on to a full length! Say It Like You Mean It Round 1 Bye: 1) Up & Go 2) Given the Chance 3) Leaving Round 1: 8) Hello Houston vs 9) Decisions, Decisions 4) The Best of Me vs 13) This Ride 5) A Goodnight's Sleep vs 12) The Drama Summer 7) Cheek to Cheek vs 10) Saddest Girl Story 6) Almost There, Going Nowhere vs 11) Left Coast Envy
Well here's a cool way to listen There's a tough road ahead for "The Best of Me" a problem with seeding in accordance to tracklisting.
9) Decisions, Decisions 4) The Bestof Me 5) A Goodnight's Sleep 7) Cheek to Cheek 6) Almost There, Going Nowhere
Hello, Houston (The level of maturity and metacognisance Kenny shows on that track is incredible for such a young dude) The Best of Me (This Ride is probably my least favourite on the album, as much as I like it. This is about Kenny not wanting to get in a car with his friends again after an accident yeah?) A Goodnight’s Sleep (Just more here that keeps me coming back) Cheek to Cheek (The bridge is my favourite moment of the album) Almost There, Going Nowhere (Probably the hardest match-up. The lyrics on Left Coast are so endearing and Kenny’s vox sound especially mature, but Almost There has the most energy on the album and is a perfect centrepiece)
Hello Houston (One of my favorite songs 16 years ago. Time flies...) The Best of Me (Easy pick) A Goodnight's Sleep (Not the strongest duel) Saddest Girl Story (Yes! Fast drums! ;) ) Almost There, Going Nowhere (Not an easy choice, though none of them are among my favorites)
Decisions, Decisions The Best of Me (I adore This Ride so much, but BOM is essential TSL) The Drama Summer (tough round! Went with TDS because nostalgia. Thought Goodnight's Sleep is super underrated. UGH) Saddest Girl Story Left Coast Envy
Decisions, Decisions This Ride The Drama Summer Cheek to Cheek Left Coast Envy So hard, and I'm still not 100% sold on these choices. This is like my favorite pop punk record of all time.
Hello Houston The Best of Me A Goodnight's Sleep Saddest Girl Story Left Coast Envy Few tough choices in there. Wow, the nostalgia.
Now I regret participating in this because I love so many of these songs. It's a shame voting against any of them. Ugh. Decisions, Decisions The Best of Me The Drama Summer Cheek to Cheek Left Coast Envy
Decisions, Decisions (toughest for me I think) This Ride (Best of Me is a classic song but This Ride is better, and a great closer as well) The Drama Summer Cheek to Cheek Left Coast Envy
Here’s my votes then I’m gonna tally and start the next round. Decisions, Decisions The Best of Me (of course) A Goodnights Sleep (for the simple fact that the live performance of this when they had tempo issues made me fall in love with the album as a whole) Cheek to Cheek Left Coast Envy (even though I don’t have it)
What do we do about ties ? NVm. I decide. Here are the final results for the first round Round One: Hello Houston 5 Decisions, Decisions 7 The Best of Me 8 This Ride 3 (I missed a vote here but it’s a landslide anyways) A Goodnight’s Sleep 7 The Drama Summer 5 Cheek to Cheek 8 Saddest Girl Story 4 Almost There, Going Nowhere 6 Left Coast Envy 6 So with the tie I went back and listened to both songs and saw some arguments in favor of “Almost There, Going Nowhere.” I ended up picking against my vote so Almost There, Going Nowhere” moves on to the next round Round Two: Up & Go vs Decisions, Decisions The Best of Me vs A Goodnight’s Sleep Given the Chance vs Cheek to Cheek Leaving vs Almost There, Going Nowhere
