Interesting input from everyone. I'll just say on this that at this point, my favorite probably wouldn't fit many of Judy's criteria at all. I am using the simple guideline: Does it move you? to pick my 5 and the one for me that sticks out WAY above the others (I am about 50% through the lyrics) is totally unconventional, has a few flaws but also has the deepest and most interesting storyline of any lyric I have seen in a very long time. It borders very much on poetry, but could be sung in a variety of styles from Folk to Rap with equal success. In otherwords, it breaks convention, status quo and says something that fills my head with images and additional creative thoughts surrounding the subject matter, setting and mood of the piece. It's quite haunting.
I hope folks will continue to do what all of the above have in common.. vote for what they LOVE.. not what they think they are supposed to vote for using any criteria other than what moves them. Remember, there is no justification asked for or needed for your votes. This is your private chance to reward what you think is cool. It's your chance to right all the wrongs you think commercial music industry may have (or may not have as your opinion may be) held back in the past.
We've had roughly 30 votes sent in so far. And a couple of lyrics have started to collect multiple votes.
