And if Lyde ends up in the Lower Lunaria – who will win???

Revan.

If someone doesn't know which shorts to submit:

Lune — 6 Overall, it's good, but somehow disharmonious; it either falls short or overplays, and doesn't feel like a cohesive composition. This disrupts the melancholy.
Zero no Kiseki — 5 It's simplistic and sometimes sounds false. Indifferent melancholy.
Ayunga — 6 Plus, it earns social credit and half a bowl of rice; the task is completed satisfactorily, melancholic but without any miracles.
Judas Priest — 6 Despite my positive attitude towards the band, this particular track doesn't impress. It's too bland, monotonous, like chewing gum you've been chewing for half an hour. It evoked some melancholy.
Chamber of reflection — 2 Dreary instrumental, dreary lyrics, and an unpleasant androgynous voice. I felt passive-aggressive boredom instead of melancholy.
Ultranasilie — 6 And again, a respected artist with an unsuccessful track. It's viscous, indistinct, confusing, melancholic-phlegmatic.
Masha badabu — 3 Terrible vocals, the level of songs made by teenagers, I even winced, unpleasant, not melancholic.
The only thing I know — 6 Not Chopin, but it's acceptable. It didn't evoke melancholy, but it brought a sense of peace.
Monsieur kills himself — 6 Psychedelic, I even laughed. My ears got a little tired, I felt melancholy and didn't finish listening.
Indigo — 3 It feels like he's speaking through his nose, not singing. It didn't evoke melancholy, it annoyed me.
Violin — 6 There was a rather poignant and sad quality to it, but for most of this short track, I felt melancholy due to boredom and fatigue.
Echoes in the rain — 4 I didn't find any melancholy in it; it's just a default sound for a ringtone melody.

You didn't really impress me, although you didn't disappoint me either. And no, the task wasn't "not to impress," but "to evoke a poignant, sweetly suffocating feeling of uplifting longing," or something close to that. I'll try listening to them again later; maybe at least one of them will get a 7.

Actually, I initially thought of submitting this song for the "Melancholy" category. I've liked it for a long time, and I listened to it over and over again during the game. But then I decided that it's too niche.

It's not really my cup of tea, but I'd give it a 4-6, maybe even higher. It's listenable, not bad.

3. The voice is a bit too saccharine, with that breathy quality. Considering the lyrics and the major key, it's really an acquired taste, especially in a contest format. In short, this is what I mean for a score of 9 in this format.

Or something like this, if it's a bit softer.

Vysotsky is even more of an acquired taste; there are some good bard songs in general, and even some good bard songs by Vysotsky, but I prefer a more complex sound, so I would give it a 2-4. From my couch, it even sounds more monotonous than a Priest track, but I've long realized that monotony is a surprisingly subjective concept.

Here, the vocals and lyrics are excellent.

Am I the only one who doesn't even watch videos that are posted after the part where they say they initially wanted to send it?

Yes. All normal people rewatch them several times later.

Unfortunately, the melancholy contest is held only once a year, but there are about ten candidates vying for the opportunity to participate.

Unfortunately, the melancholy contest is only once a year.

But luckily, there are 360 melancholic days in a year.

Am I the only one who doesn't even watch videos that are posted after the disclaimer that they initially wanted to send it?

In such posts, the best tracks are usually submitted.

is this track melancholic? I'll send you something similar next time. (no)

Guys, how much time is left?
