I initially had that but it’s basically straight bubblegum pop so I didn’t think it fit
But Shimmer fits?

Look, I'm excited as shit for this tournament. It's your show. I'm down with whatever. But that makes no sense to me.

I can see it. "Shimmer" is grungier, has louder guitars, and has that gritted-teeth vocal sound

"The Reason" could easily pass for a pop-punk power-ballad in the vein of "Perfect" by Simple Plan

The only thing that The Reason could compare to is Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park, since that song showed where Linkin Park would head after Meteora (boring adult contemporary pop music).

Oh, it won't. Not a chance. But it's one of my favorite songs in the tournament. My tastes usually don't jibe well with RM at large. I think there's a greater chance of it getting knocked out in round one than winning the whole thing.

That's cool. I was in a band in the early '00s and we played a lot of this shit cause thats what people wanted to hear. That song went over well but I'll leave it up to you what belongs. I hated playing this stuff.

Not that my take means much to you.

Also,... what about Ugly Kid Joe and/or Green Jello?
