<H4> Nearly Impossible </H4> 

You guys...*to say this week was **harrrrd** would be the grandest of understatements.* 

I'm sincerely blown away by how much genuine talent there is on our beloved blockchain. When entries are alternately making me cry and laugh and wiggle in my chair...*you know it must be good.*

Of course, the better your entries, the more impossible it feels to measure their *'worth'* in contrast with all others – to wrestle with *sequence* and fine-tune *ratings*. I have **no idea** how I'd manage without that badass tool Ausbitbank created for us! *It is an absolute life-saver.* 

Again, I can't quite convey just how difficult this week was; the differences between *'placements'* represent the slimmest of degrees. I was truly moved by more than I can squeeze into those coveted, top five slots. Sooo – as of this week, I'll be including 5 honorable mentions, ordered solely for how they show up according to our scoring metrics.

This made me sob...deep, soundless, chest-rocking tears – the most tender, truly heartfelt response a song can elicit from me. 

I was entirely unprepared for that...had to sit in awed silence for a while after listening – to let my heart absorb the sweet medicine that is your pristine voice. 

My cheeks are still wet; a beautiful testament to the graceful sincerity of your absolutely flawless performance.  <sup> <i> odd side note: my ex-husband's name is Patrick Wilson!</i></sup>

I'm truly inspired by your guitar skills – so much emotion conveyed in your melodic choices, so perfectly matching the sentiment in your lyrics. 

I love being able to hear a musician's influences, as though your artistry is marinated somewhat in their essence. While it is still very much *your own sound*, the power and quality of your voice reminds me so much of Chris Cornell. *I've a feeling we're the same generation, you and I.* ;)

Your voice is so lush and full of authentic emotion. And – *if the translation I'm getting is accurate* – I love the clever simplicity of your lyrics. Even the well-timed, background barking dogs were a charming touch! ;)
