Ok...so here's the deal. I can't for the life of me make this last decision on my own. Should the last song i'm about to write be about A, B or C?
I wrote a little about the aches and pains of this song in my iblog tonight (19th Aug).
Ok so they may all sound a bit crap but if i told you Shh was about Alien abduction would you have voted for that?
You've got 'til this time tomorrow!
thanks..I REALLY appreciate it!

Immi, how about making three lyrically different versions of the song?  it would be so much fun to have these tracks on a single for instance! i always wondered how the song would be like if its lyrics are different. it's like changing the song's indentity! how do you feel about it, Immi? (i can imagine Immi saying:"what? blow away, man."  )
i voted for a bicycle trip coz riding a bike gives you a chance to make nice observations of what's around us (at least nobody wrote a song about a point of view of a bicycle rider!). besides you can write about falling in love with a bank robber who stole your bike and kidnapped you as his hostage so he could getaway, and it all happened during the night you found to be the best night ever |

| I picked C because it feels like we get to know you better. And bike rides are quite an adventure.. up and down the hills.. wind passing you while going through the tunnels.. putting that feeling in music is an excellent idea. ^^ |

I'm backing up "C" as well... You already have a huge musical attraction to the trip (with the videophone-video *faaaantastic!*), why not elaborate on that?
Regardless, do whatever makes your heart pour out most- we appreciate that a whole lot.

| C for me too! I think that you can tie in lots of various elements with this one and we know how much you love riding your bike! |

C too here.
You had a fantastic time doing that bike trip along english countryside, very inspiring I think. You should go that way if you want to create something really deep and personal, collecting all the feelings and emotions you had on your way  |

Jumping on the bandwagon with C. But I was the first one to vote; I just didn't comment.
I agree with what everyone else has to say on that. It's such an interesting concept.
Shh was about alien abduction? |

Had to go with C..
A. Just seems too.. transient..
B. Well lets just say I wil continue to believe that one day, nice guys won't come last.
C. Seems to me to be the most personal, people tend to walk around without paying
attention to the ordinary things in their lives - which when you actually look at them
are often the most beautiful.
That said, I'd have voted "D: Whichever you really want the most", but then maybe
it's in the list and you're just testing the waters.
Validation can be cool. |

all would be awesome and C is a great choice so i would love that
BUT i voted for A and here is why:
You said The best night EVER...
and you know what...i would love to hear what makes up YOUR or anyones BEST NIGHT EVER...
especially someone i admire so much...and not about the specifics as much as the emotions of what comprised the night...the anxiety? or the excitement? the love you felt or the wanting to make the moment last forever?...and perhaps realizing LUCKILY that at that very instant you were experiencing your best night EVER...
Its much like seeing Garden State and the post I made about it...
I said regarding the film: that "Let Go" was the shining star on an already emotionally ornate christmas tree" and that says it all without giving away specifics or spoilers about the movie...
so tell me about your BEST NIGHT EVER from your emotional point of view...it would make an INCREDIBLE and perhaps moving and inspirational song...heck, I ALREADY love it
*sigh*
hope all is great Immi

| forget this C. business... A is definitely the way to go. best day EVER can consist of little simple things like riding your bike home, ya know? it's all-encompassing. multi-task, if you will. taaadaaaa. |

| If it's a nice day tomorrow I'm going to switch to good old fashioned pen and paper, take to the veins of London with my trusty bicycle and find a nice little place to settle and loose myself somewhere by the Thames. Thank you all so much for your thoughts, I've loved reading them. I'll let you know how i get on soon x i x |

| It sounds like I may be too late to vote already, but I wanted to agree with the people who voted A. I think there would be great emotion to a song like that and some days I just need a song like that to make me feel good and remember how it feels to have such a good day. You know those days when you're just feeling really down? I think a song about the best day ever would be a good song to help bring you out of that. |

| I think A could go a lot of different ways, romantic and hipmotizing, or fun and exciting, or just there in the moment kinda trancy, hip and funky, etc... |

I vote “C” and for purely selfish reasons. I watched and read all her MoBlogs entries as she took her journey to the source of the Thames and back. Would be sort of cool to hear a song, and know what inspired immi to write it…
As for “the best night ever” … that’s like saying the best orgasm ever… it’s only better than the last one… and yet, they’re all good and the potential for even better ones… well… I always like to think positive
Falling in love with a bank robber.. hummmmmm… well it all goes back to the orgasm thing again…

can we get option A as the acutal track...
i try to live life to it's fullest.. and have "the best night EVER" every night...
although the bike ride sounds nice as well...
so, make option C, the hidden track after track A.
[ok.. so that's cheating]

I say C first.....
That's just because I haven't rode a bike since I was 15 and seeing that in the polls really made me remember what I've been missing....the little things ARE really beautiful.
Also that video of you riding your bike (along w/ the music) is really inspirational you could use that along w/ other footage to make an AWESOME video....something fresh and new.
Second choice would be A.....the term best night ever sounds kinda corny but I'm more than confident that you could make something great out of it.....full of innovative analogies and such.
B.......nah.....too much like Avril Lavigne's Sk8tr Boi song.... |

I know I'm more than fashionably late but I voted C anyway probably because of the beautiful video clip you made on your bicycle earlier for us! Maybe you can draw from all the beauty and happiness from those images - especially after getting the previous song wrapped up
