Last Ride of the Day

Last Ride of the Day

Perfect top 4.

[Ben_Jamin]

Last Ride should've went before SoM.

Also, glad Ghost River is most likely gonna win, it's among my favorites.

Song of Myself got screwed.  First time I've ever seen anyone take votes after the poll ended.  What's the point of having a deadline then?

Ghost River.

Now that we've gotten rid of the piece of shit, what the heck is Last Ride of the Day even doing here?? Like, it's an OK song, but... Top 2?

Ghost River.

I decided to take votes after the poll ended because the initial poll ended with 6-6. One of the initial voters made a mistake and voted the wrong song in the poll, then wrote about it in the thread. I provided the quote in the tiebreaker thread.

Trust me, guys, I wanted Song of Myself to win no less than some of you, but it would be unfair to end the tiebreaker on 7-5 when a participant said he accidentally voted the wrong song.

Edit: I've made an explanation of what happened in the tiebreaker in the respective thread.

Yep, that would be me, I'm sorry I caused such a big fuss.  But it's great you are so neutral about it, even though you're clearly favoring SoM.

So much confusion and to-do only to get a crummy outcome.

Eh, I don't know. These are both very good, equally good songs but neither is my album champion.

Ghost River out of pure spite.
