The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice & Fire - Congrats to wayitis




Game No : 132


Category : Songs Of Ice and Fire


(based on an original idea by sfar)




Category Chosen By : N.M.


Category Explanation (if needed)



@AdeyC ok so let's make the new theme, seems to have the majority support

"1) Songs of ice and fire (encouraged genres for ice - all sorts of minimal music - synth, techno, coldwave, medieval church chant lol and for fire - afrobeat, funk, fierce r'n'b, very energetic rock music - or just whatever comes to your mind and makes you think it fits)"



THE ORIGINS OF THE GAME

Some time ago one of the nicest guys on the forum Sergio (sfar) tested out an idea he had for a Song Game, which involved people nominating a song – then at the end of it the songs were listed and people voted on their top three songs.

A few months later, as a Eurovision Song Contest nut, I had the thought of bringing the Eurovision element into it along with the voting system used there. We jointly once did some TT Olympic and TT Football specials and always made a great team so I checked with Sergio that he was OK for me to expand on his original idea, which he was, along with adding an interactive element of an interview with all participants about the songs and the game in general where everyone could put forward ideas and suggestions about the game, it's all really thanks to Sergio that this game started :worship: .

I once did a TT Eurovision special and gave the winner a heart-attack when I informed him that the Eurovision tradition is that the winner hosts the following year - instead the winner picks the next category.

Following that on 14th November 2013, the first ever TF Pick The Best Song Game was started.






HOW TO JOIN IN AND PLAY THE GAME


1. Send me a PM with any song that relates to the category above - along with the You Tube link if possible.

2. Make clear which is the song title and which is the artist.

3. When the deadline is over, I'll post all the songs in the thread (without the name of the user who sent it) for everyone to vote.

4.The song that gets the most points wins the game. In the event of a tie the song with the most 12 points will win, if that number is the same then it's the most 10 and so on.



For those who haven’t played before, anyone is welcome to play – here’s a link to all previous games which are housed at the TF Pick The Best Song Game Forum to see how it works :-​

- You can send your song until WEDNESDAY 13th JULY 2016
- I'll publish all songs received on THURSDAY 14th JULY 2016
- You can vote your 10 favourite songs (which will be given 12, 10, 8-1 points respectively – the good old Eurovision format) from the published list

RANKINGS POINTS

The following rankings points are given at the end of each game :





Although the game didn't immediately start at one every week, it was fairly early in the run of games that it became a weekly game, so to make things simple I've counted every game as one week.

Rankings are compiled from the last 52 games - the best 16 scores during the last 52 games count to the players total ranking.

With huge thanks and acknowledgement to Markus for doing a lot of the inputting of and clearing the then backlog :worship:

Exposed! :lol:


This is GoT related? :spit: I should have known, as it's corny as fuck.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

I hope my song fits the theme. :unsure:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

Cool theme @N.M. Congrats on the win BTW.

I can't make up my mind if I should submit ice:



or fire:


or something in between:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

Do monster songs qualify? Please say so, you'd make some people very happy. I'm sure there are thousands of amazing songs about Ice Monsters (e.g. Yeti) or about Fire Creatures (e.g. erm... Dragons?).

:wavey:
 
#22 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

But these songs aren't supposed to be about any creatures at all (or about ice/fire), check the first post, it's about the sound and not lyrics or title.

It can be about whatever you want as long as it sounds cold or hot.

Pick any genre you want as long as it sounds right to you.
 
#23 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

Oh,I see. :)

I like some genres in the OP. So there won't be any problems for me.
 
#26 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

What about the song that applies to both? :)
 
#27 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

^ I guess could be interesting :lol:

Just like Mauriac in his category , I also see it more like fun and a bit of twist rather than a witch hunt for strict fit.

Also the genres I mentioned are more to help and not to put boarders on what you may have on mind.

I am just one of these mugs who don't care about lyrics so the songs can be about anything or even instrumental, doesn't have to say explicitly "ice ice baby"

Nathii do you mind explaining what minimalist is?
I have an idea but it's a bit fuzzy the definition exactly. I think of recurring, building patterns, quite simplistic but Gestalt principle applying - the whole greater than the sum of its parts, with less emphasis on direct melodic hooks.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 132 – Songs Of Ice and Fire - Nominate!!!!!

Finally able to send in a song I'm 100% behind. Amazing performance. :hearts: Very curious to see how it does here. :cheer:
