Shawna Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 by my virtually error-free accounting, everyone who has nominated (and one who didn't ) has voted - so Farin, it's all you now! (I can't stand the suspense...) And a hearty thank you to Dappled for those great stats. I love seeing stuff like that... 'specially when my songs are doing well. Which is certainly not the case this time... or any other time... oh hell. I like the stats anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 it's almost a shame that Enjoy the Silence needed three tries to get into the Top Ten... such a great song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I get no satisfaction whatsoever from helping Depeche Mode into a Top 10 position: it's about the only song of theirs I have a sneaking liking for. On a musical level, it has a nifty tune and a cute little percussive break in the middle (a few seconds long) that I happen to like. Lyrically it's just Dep Mode's typical "could have been written by an 11 year old in English class" fare. Now it's apparently regarded as some kind of "all-time great". Great! Message curtailed due to technical difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
