Phew. The lady lives on. But probably only until Monday.
I could no more vote off Our Sweet Love than yank out me own teeth. Similar to the sentiments expressed by someone else here, it's stitched into the fabric of the thirty nine glorious years that I had with the love of my life. Of the remaining songs, the one I listen to least is also arguably the most accomplished. It's probably tantamount to sacrilege, given that it's the subject of our study videos, and it is undoubtedly a staggering achievement and I love it, but if that's the criteria we're using then that's where my vote is going.
Pete - I’m moved to hear of your long standing affinity for OSL, and, always, your enduring love for your wife  |

I'll stick to the choice I made last time, namely "Forever". Ye gods, this so-called game is more like hard work at times!  |

"Take good care of..." oh never mind!  |

Of the five, my least favorite here is Cool Cool Water. I never got the love for this one. The opening vocals are truly amazing, but the remaining 3:30 or so plods a bit IMO.

I'm aghast that "It's About Time" is gone -- that's one of the best tracks on the album, imo. Voting to drop "At My Window" this round.

I am voting off At My Window even though I like this one a lot. It will be interesting to see which song the winner of side 2 will be.

It's hard to say anything negative about these sacred songs on Sunflower. I'm voting off "At My Window". And so goes the Euro-feels of side two. |

I’m very late to the game; wish I’d taken the plunge before!
At My Window is my Johnny-come-lately choice – gorgeous piece of work though, with some ethereal vocals; it hurt to take a knife to the vinyl to carve this one off and toss it in the can.
Hope I can remember to dip back into this exercise more often!

Again, "OSL" isn't bad... just not good enough, in this company.

The tribe has spoken; À ma fenêtre est fermée!, with a massive 17 of 27 votes.
Wipe-out!
The game will continue later today, but be on your guard!

Time to scorch the Tribal kitchen.
You must vote off TWO of your least favourites from Tribe Side A this heat. Yep!
For me it's Deirdre and Add Some Music - ow, it really hurt to do that, but somehow, I feel stronger for doing so.
If you want to save a song, go and find the hidden immunity idol that is somewhere on this forum! It could be your only hope!
As a last twist, voting is visible all heat long - what will the tribe decide - we'll know Wednesday!

Deirdre n’ me have reached the end of the road. And Slippin’ lacks the subtlety of the two other survivors, so…
Loving the poll, Al, relishing the power!

"Deirdre" & "Slip On Through"
California Music's rendition has elevated my already high appreciation of "ASMTYD"

Can't believe Deirdre has made it this long. I am voting for it and Add Some Music. Slip on Through and This Whole World both should have been hits.

Continuing to vote for "Add Some Music", as in the previous round
The unexpected twist of voting for another one as well leads me to pick on "Deirdre" sooner than I was expected, because there's no way it's better than the other two remaining songs.
