Hey everybody. Over in the Tori Amos forum, they have a pretty cool ultimate song contest going on, so I figured it'd be cool to do a similar thing here. I put the names of all the albums songs, plus Wishful Thinking and View From The Other Side, and put them on pieces of paper. I then put them into a container and selected songs at random. (note: i did not include Wilderness (prelude) )

Here are the matchups:


Foreshadowing vs. End of Outside

Days Go By vs. Everyone, Everywhere

Nichiren vs. Serena

November vs. House Full of Riches

Alibi vs. Lo and Behold

This is How My Heart Heard vs. Out of Order

Reasons For Living vs. View From The Other Side

Requiescat vs. On a High

Home vs. Little Hands

In Between vs. In the Absence of Sun

The Wilderness vs. The Winds That Blow

That Says It All vs. Sad Steven's Song

Mouth On Fire vs. Time and Good Fortune

A Mirror In The Heart vs. Longing Town

Far Away vs. Wishful Thinking

Barely Breathing vs. Nothing Special

Rubbed Out vs. Mr. Chess

Bite Your Tongue vs. Varying Degrees of Con-Artistry

A Body Goes Down vs. She Runs Away

Get your votes in now!

This first round will end at 10 PM EST on Monday.

Now or Never was originally going to be included, but I took it out at the last minute b/c I wanted to keep this contest to songs that were only written by Duncan. I wasn't sure how much say Duncan had in Now or Never, but to be on the safe side, I took it out.

Wow, as if it hasn't been hard enough posting which top 10 Duncan songs are our favorites, now someone has come up with the idea of pitting the songs against each other! Well, here we go

Foreshadowing
Days go by
Nichiren
House full of riches
Lo and Behold
This is how my heart heard
Reasons for living
On a high
Little hands
Absence of the sun
The winds that blow
Sad Steven's song
Mouth on fire
A mirror in the heart
Barely Breathing
Mr. Chess
Varying degrees of con-artistry
She runs away

Sorry...I thought about it and thought about it..I can't choose between Far away and Wishful thinking..but I was able to complete the rest of the list

btw, for the next round: b/c of the uneven number of songs, 1 song will be drawn at random from the pile of loser songs (not that they suck, just that they didn't advance ) that song will then go into the pile with the next batch
