Today marks the moment that we have all been waiting for. The final reveal of my favorite Rex Orange County song. First, I want to reflect on the past few weeks of analyzing his songs. During this time, I gained a new appreciation for the artistry of his music and was truly able to understand why I love his music so much. I fell more in love with his witty and emotional lyrics. I fell more in love with the jazzy elements that have persisted throughout his entire career. I fell more in love with the small details I used to overlook. I fell more in love with his music than I ever thought I could and developed such a strong connection to the art that he produced. Ultimately, this project ended up to be much more of a “passion” project than I expected, but I’m glad this was the case. Honestly, I do feel some sadness in knowing that this analysis is over, but I am incredibly excited to share my results. In the future, I may consider doing this project with other favorite artists of mine, as it helped me develop a greater appreciation for and familiarity with the songs.
To finish off my analysis of Rex’s discography, I created a bracket with the highest rated songs. This list was composed of the four songs which received ratings of 9/10, as well as my favorites from the songs rates 8/10. I chose 12 songs total and created the bracket, which looks like this.
It has been so fun reading about your opinions and reviews of different Rex songs! I liked how your post provided a visual of the bracket you created to determine your favorite song, it really elevated your post! I also agree that I decide my favorite song based off of vibes and overall enjoyment of the song versus technicalities.
Your blog was so much fun to read each week, and I was so excited to learn that this week would be the finale so I could hear what your favorite Rex song was! It was cool learning about his music and you definitely inspired me to listen to him more. Also, I am glad you did a bracket to show where each of the songs ranks, but I am sure it was hard deciding on where each song should be placed. Overall, great job!
What a ride. Feels like I’m finishing a Netflix show or something, and this was the end of the season. Always is a great song and I think it is deserving of the crown. I respect the work you put into these blogs, and they were very fun to read.
This was a great way to finish off your passion blog. Your descriptions and opinions on each song were always very entertaining to read every week. I think the visual you added also made this post a lot more entertaining.
