It's been a long time, but I'M BACK! Just moved in to my new house after months of remodeling. Still working on stuff but I'll squeeze in time to host my first tourney in what seems like an eternity!
I can relate to the moving thing. Way too much work.

I don't think I'll join. I've been wanting one, but,

A. I'm not seeing any great songs nominated so far. A few okay ones
That was a curious remark. Make your list, man. Show what you like listening to. It's always a good way for peeps to find new stuff.

Well.... maybe. I do wish this would start sooner, though. When I saw the "Sad Songs" tournament start, I thought, oh god......

Seems like these tournaments only deal with either being in love or being deeply depressed anymore.

I know what you are saying, but objectively you have 2 realities:

1 - a sad song is only sad to the person who listens to it and relates to it [what makes me sad, doesn't make you sad necessarily and vice versa].

2 - Most "commercial songs" do deal with heartbreak and general sadness. That's why I prefer the instrumentals [the "real" sad songs are designed to portray that emotion in the way they are composed and executed instead via vocals alone - Ex: Albinonis Adagio - although you also have beautifully composed classical songs who have the aid - and I will emphasize "aid" - of lyrics to better express that composition - ex: Goreki Symphony of Sorrowful Songs ]. but in the end, it's all about how the instruments play with each other in the composition than anything else.
