It would be cool to have a rating button associated with each song.

But the genius of this song is that its sweet sound couches a really harsh lyrical sentiment! Love the confessional honesty...

Canadian Youth Soccer League: Winning by More Than Five Counts as a Loss

Go up by 10, let the other team score 6 with no goalie. Wait, no the other team refuses to score.   Or maybe the teams just start scoring for the other team.   Must be great games to watch.
Maybe Bill should make the rule:  If anyone rates a song sucko-barfo, it becomes Godlike!

WOW, such diversity in the comments....I like it!

I love the sweet metaphorical imagery in the lyrics. Used before, sure, but expressed beautifully and lovingly here. I'd be Antje's fisherman

Wow. Those lyrics are a warning to anyone who tempts her embrace.

The comment board police are lurking....

I'm with you - who has time for this?

Every time I hear this song, I think it's one from the film Once being sung by Markéta Irglová.

once again, jagdriver, you got it right!  jagdriver wrote: 

Agreed. Some good loving or more bran in the diet of those below is in order.

Seriously people y'all need to calm down.  Spliff on, kick back and have a think whether all this really matters.

You nerds are hilarious!

I appreciate your response but I believe it misses the mark in a couple of areas. First of all my handle is not Romeotuma, I don't rate every song a 10. But I'm also not a troll who callously dolls out 1s for any song that falls outside my limited comfort zone. 10s and 1s are like black and white, good and bad, and the world is more complicated than that simple dichotomy. When Bill and Rebecca add a song to the play list they believe that music has value, I trust their judgment. I have to wonder if anyone who rates a lot of songs '1' really appreciates music...as Leonard Cohan writes in Hallelujah, "But you don't really care for music, do you?"
Your response to me also seems to be a thinly veiled slam against women. Narcissus means inordinate fascination with oneself, excessive self-love, vanity. It has nothing to do with gender. You mention a "hyper feminized" culture, I wonder what planet you are talking about because it sure isn't Earth. Your reference is very skimpy on details, it only mentions that women are moving in higher numbers into areas like education and television. Real power comes from government and corporations, the number of women in positions of power in Corporations is tiny compared to men. Women CEOS make up less than 2% of top 1000 US firms - I refer you to this website:

http://www.metrics2.com/blog/2006/11/27/women_ceos_still_rare_among_top_1000_firms_only_17.html

When it comes to government; in 2007 women made up less than 17% of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The figures for the rest of the world aren't much better, although Europe is making real headway toward equal representation -  http://www.rferl.org/content/Article/1075134.html - http://www.capwip.org/readingroom/5050sourcekit.pdf

For more proof that we are actually in a hyper-masculine society:

The higher salaries and status of male athletes compared to female athletes - for example golf and basketball.
The overall wage gap between men and women doing the same jobs.
The fact that pornography is rampant.

Thirdly, you assume that women are nicer than men and that they are behind a policy of rewarding everyone, without regard for quality. Apparently you've forgotten about Margaret Thatcher. Women can be mean, just ask them about school where teenage girls can be vicious. Since women tend not to be in positions of power, if these policies exist they are created and/or approved by men or by both men and women, not solely be women.

Yes, here's your trophy.     The previous comment that I was replaying to...making fun of...was saying, dont say its garbage even it that is how you feel. 

There is a common mindset that no one should lose.  Everyone (e.g. little league. Just to make sure no one's feelings are hurt, we should not keep score.) should get a trophy just for showing up. 

Feminized culture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminization_%28sociology%29    This is not all bad. Its been good in many ways. I added the work hyper for those cases where it is over the top.  You cannot have light without dark.  Masculinity is just as valid and like it or not, part of humanity.

I edited my previous post to help you understand.

WTF? Art is not some compromised zero-sum game. "Antje, you're one field-goal shy of Ella, but here's your trophy, anyway"?

Sheesh. And the comment about "hyper-feminized culture" is incomprehensible.

That's part of the problem with today's hyper feminized culture; forget reward for performance, forget individuality, its all about giving everyone an award (ironic sarcasm). If I don't like, well then, I should avoid at all cost hurting feelings(ironic sarcasm).   I'm willing to bet that you'd not bother performing to your maximum if you knew that your work would get the same high grade. I'm just saying don't be worried when you rate a song, give it some honest thought.

By the way I know if we all rated every song a 10, Bill might as well just remove all rating from his station.
