The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[levets]

Let it Be… all time classic and meaningful lyrics.

In any (most) other contests I'd ahve chosen BLT every day of every week.

But Let It Be sums up certain emotions, it's in the mix for one of my 'funeral songs' so has to get my vote this time.

Horrible match this one!!

Both bands have done dozens of better songs than these. New Order win it for me though. I actually think Let It Be is a bit shit and one-dimensional.

a decent new order song up against a potential winner

When my son was about 2 he used to have periods of complete craziness where he'd run around causing chaos and smashing the house up. One day I had some music on and put let it be on. He stopped instantly, sat down and just listened in sheer awe. I sing it to him most nights to calm him down before bed (he's nearly 5 now). It was a great song before that, but it's taken on a higher power now.

Big attendance for this one and a great match, New Order put up a good fight but not enough to beat the Beatles - but they get another chance...

Another one with two songs I rate. I'll probably vote NO but won't begrudge AW going through as she was unlucky to come up against The Jam last time. The video for BTB is bloody depressing in hindsight though arguably not as sad as seeing her early appearances on the likes of Jools Holland and Jonathan Ross where she looks so healthy and unjaded; a great lost talent.

I know there's some people think Technique is NO's best album and depending on what genres twiddle your dials the most I get that, but it's not a view I subscribe to. Still probably getting my vote though i suspect it'll be a consolation one.
