Only subsequently did I learn that the song was based on an Arthur C. Clarke story, and only then did I rediscover that I'd actually read that story in a Clarke collection I have. But that was about 25 years ago, and I'd forgotten. Then I wished so badly that it was Edric's own idea! Even so, it is a great idea, and he carried it out perfectly, and you're not the only one who laughs at the punch line. We're not bad people, just appreciative of irony. Utterly, unimaginably, profound, perfect irony :)The Offhand Bandhttp://theoffhandband.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260501053118933495.post-84175172428171380872010-07-31T14:25:16.673-04:002010-07-31T14:25:16.673-04:00I've had this discussion already, Joe and I do...I've had this discussion already, Joe and I don't need to justify my rankings any more than I have in the reviews. Your rankings place no importance on the challenge at all. What is the point of having a challenge if you are not going to follow the rules? Caleb's and Edric's song had a sense of birth. Sara's did not. It is pretty simple.<br /><br />And I did not plug GP.Juleshttp://juliasherred.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260501053118933495.post-4962405480734660322010-07-31T06:12:26.007-04:002010-07-31T06:12:26.007-04:00Jules.. I have to take issue with your rankings he...Jules.. I have to take issue with your rankings here:<br />How can you place Sara LAST saying the ONLY thing she did wrong was *not hit the challenge* - when Edrics was not about birth (It was about an event that happened MILLIONS of years ago to *celebrate* a birth. Caleb's was CERTAINLY not about birth (You even say so in your review! "Not quite born".) <br />And I think your 'overall criteria' for selection is *how much it made you cry* shows exactly how ridiculous this challenge was in the first place to have the words *make it a tear jerker* in it.<br />Also, Jules, this is about the songs... Not a place to plug GP ;' )JoeCovenanthttp://www.joecovenant.bandcamp.comnoreply@blogger.com
