Sleeping By Myself vs. Force of Nature

Ugh, right off the bat this bracket kills me. Love both of these. 4+ star songs. Sleeping By Myself always fills me with joy, but once Force of Nature gets going it is full of those moments that just make me stop and be fully present in the song. Gets my vote. But these are two of my top 5 songs in this bracket

Why can't they both lose?

SBM

FoN

The Spenno Special

Force

I hate loving SBM so much.

Sleeping By Myself.

I appreciate the tender loneliness of the song and think Eddie finds some interesting musical ideas on the uke that transform into something even better with the band.

Force of Nature is all right, but a bit under baked. Much like Backspacer. Eating it, you remember when the kitchen crafted tastier food, you want to like it, it may even fill you up, but is ultimately unsatisfying.

FoN I guess.

I know I say this every MM but... man Force of Nature sucks.

And each year you are wronger than the year before!

technically, you are equally wrong.

Force of Nature being and actual album cut is a travesty of participation trophy proportions.

Somewhere there's a siren singing a song only he hears

For at least one more round!

Force of Nature wins 17-11, which is sad only because both of these worthy songs cannot advance
