from user hazeviii on genius.com:
This could have two meanings:When they are the happiest, they have reached a sort of euphoria that leads them to feel as though they don’t exist. More simply, when Kali/Damon are no longer conscious and obsessive over their lives and selves, they are the happiest.The happiest moments are when Kali/Damon aren’t in them. Because they live such tragic lives and are exposed to such horrible events, they live in dreams where their physical selves don’t exist and could never exist in.

I can see how it could read as a wish for oblivion / death / end of relationship too.

is this entire list going to be governed by a shady external institution known as 'the singles jukebox' ;)

I'd not voted before, and had little clue about the odds of selections placing. But that makes 2/3 so far.

this is as close to metal as we're getting, I think. also the first of my votes to appear

As someone who really adored the I Get Wet album and gave almost no fucks about anything he's made since then, this is no different. I Get Wet sounded easy. This sounds labored.

I voted for the more radical "I don't know anything"

― saer, Monday, 28 January 2019 14:46 (five years ago) link
xxxp close calls with brick walls, dude!!
all the stuff he's done since i get wet has dealt more or less openly with struggles against depression - that's where the laboredness comes in perhaps. i think it adds another layer myself

omg saer
I voted for a different Andrew WK song, but I'm glad to see this make it on here.

Simon, we have a song that I would consider more "metal" than WK charting later this very day even!

btw, saer's single nominations deserve their own thread and should be sought out on the youtube nomination playlist ASAP (hint: look for the white labels)http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcqiswAZfVPo7ukF0c4p8B55JCRt0jEA3

imago otm, the dark subtext of this is what makes the relentless positivity feel genuine.
(my first one to place too!)

I am 99% sure I know what the other metal placement is

Youtube nomination playlist was a complete joy - doubt anything from it will place, so maybe a nice adjunct to the main poll.

nothing made the 77 with less than five votesBUTtwo songs missed the 77 with eight votes. guesses welcome.

i threw new australian national anthem 'smoko' by the chats low on my ballot and i suppose a few others did. would love it to place but that is my guess for missing out with 8

Gotta say i was weirdly nonplussed by the Hauff track; not getting much emotional resonance off it.

__ Please report any mistakes or oversights to me, so I can do the whole damn thing over again. Thank U, next!_Since your list seems to be based on country of origin and not residence, according to Resident Advisor Peach is a Canadian who lives in the UK._Thanks, Tuomas. Yes, I went with country of origin and/or self-identification, more or less. DJs seem to be more elusive than most in this regard, or require a bit more googling at least. Hope I didn’t make too much of a shambles of it...

i give "boo'd up" extra points for sounding distinctly like a huge R&B hit circa 2005. i thought it was telling that mariah basically repaid the homage by getting dj mustard to produce the same sort of glassy R&B song for her own album. the emancipation of mimi influence snake eating its own tail.
the starbucks on 43rd and madison by my old office was always playing R&B from like 98-06 and "boo'd up" could definitely have gotten some burn in there

I dipped into this thread briefly a couple of days ago, but just getting around to fully catching up with it now - I can't believe 'Give Yourself a Try' placed and 'It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)' didn't. Can't fault the other 1975 tracks that placed.
