> [@JKellyMap](#): > > I was hoping to vote for Warwick Avenue (Duffy) and We are Fine (Sharon Van Etten) – is there some reason they didn’t make the cut? Hmm, it looks like I missed the two posts immediately following my own submissions (1 song submitted by @WildaBeast and 5 submissions by @Dancer_Flight). Not an excuse, but perhaps in constructing my own submissions and links, these got past me. **I have closed the existing polls and will re-create them with the missed songs included.** All apologies, mmm ---

> [@peccavi](#): > > [Woman Down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHmZ02U4JRQ) – Beth Hart (2019) Wow, that’s serious stuff. Haunting. Serious rather as, say, Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit.” Makes so many of the other selections in these polls seem frivolous, even puerile (of course, they’re all worthy in their own way). ---
