It's pretty easy to come across short little instrumental pieces to study to when just looking through random songs based purely on their titles (especially if the song titles were used in Twilight, I guess). I tried to avoid these, but this one was substantive and nice enough throw in and represent the large swathe of songs of this sort I stumbled on.29 In the Sunlight – City GirlPoints: 218 SD: 9.33 zippy – 13 samo🦕 – 15 American Idiot – 18 nathanalbright – 19 wrip – 20 singingrulebritannia – 27 wheatsquares33 – 31 aerodynamite – 35 willapted33 – 36 Trilogy – 38 I have to go pet a cat for a few minutes, but I'll do at least a couple more reveals before the night's over

Another song from a relatively unknown artist that was actually a really cool discovery here!
(...I ranked this at 39?)

Aside from 45 and 46, I did not feel confident about my bottom ranks and had been switching them back and forth, so I think Emily Blue's 17 is not really a bad song but it is forgettable. Notably, I found the the songs from Miley Cyrus and Ed Sheeran here to be more enjoyable than some more well known songs they have put out. I have been playing a videogame called Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Lightzout's Have You Been sounds like it could be part of the game's soundtrack. It especially sounds like the Main Menu music.Since I usually love funky house music, Ask Me could have easily been one of my highest ranks if Duck Sauce put more effort into it. In the Sunlight does sound similar to some of the instrumental hip-hop I used to seek out. BANK seems to be one of the weaker tracks on BROCKHAMPTON's album (I know you couldn't pick another one on there). Tomike is a good discovery for me since I'm seeking songs from lesser known Alt-R&B/Soul artists such as her newest song release. Sayit is a fun song but certainly not the best Röyksopp song to feature Robyn. For a hard rock song, I think What You Are is a damn good choice.

Okay, I don't think that I'm gonna have time to post ALL the extra picks I have in the same level of detail that I started with, so I'll have to do a bit of speed running, unfortunately.
I Know - Dionne Farris
Pretty classic late 90s pop rock banger. Went with the Fiona song for a bit deeper of a cut, but this would've been a good addition too!
Other "I Know" artists: Post Malone, Aly & AJ, Polo G, Big Sean (and Travis Scott kinda, the ? on I KNOW ? makes it fit into the playlist a bit weird)
Awhile - Hayfitz
"Awhile"s are a bit hard to come by, I haven't heard of a single artist in my extra section here. I love the Shook Sisters song I actually included here, but this is a very pretty, delicate piece of dream pop too.
Other "Awhile" artists: The Dead Bolts (this one is a pretty cool song too, decent little country/southern rock jam), Stoned Alone (IAMLOSOL & NiGHTS provided enough mid emo rap for this rankdown though), Lainey Dionne (it's like, modern bedroom pop girlie music, it's fine)
What You Are - Drill
I have no regrets including the Audioslave track here, I don't have a ton of rockers in play, but this is maybe a bit cooler a pick. Slow burning trip hop-post-grunge from the late 90s, it's a pretty cool track and has a wild vocal performance too. Could see this band in the next rankdown I'm planning though!
What You Are - Pete Brandt's Method
Actually, I'll highlight two songs for this one, cause this song is dope. No idea who Pete Brandt or his method is (seems like they released a single & showed up on a few various artists compilations, and that's all I see on RYM). Pretty smooth early 80s new wave, I like this.
Other "What You Are" artists: Vision of Disorder, Dave Matthews Band, Jewel, Pete Brandt's Method
Say It - Flume f/ Tove Lo
I had to pick two "Say It"'s for this, and Evans Blue October were the first two that came to mind. I don't really like either song though, so that's why I went with Maggie & Royksopp, which are choices I'm happy with, none of these extras are ones I'd be super excited to include (but this Flume song may be my favorite)
Other "Say It" artists: Blue October, Evans Blue, Houndmouth, Rihanna
Out Loud - Remember Sports
As mentioned, I like Alejandro Aranda a lot, so I'm happy including that song here. But there were some kinda fun, extra "Out Loud" extras too! This is a cool little piece of twee/indie that I like quite a bit.
Other "Out Loud" artists: Gabbie Hanna (honestly, would be iconic to have Gabbie Hanna in one of my personal rankdowns lol), Syd f/ Kehlani, Renee Reed, Mindy Smith
Vampire - Peter Tosh
So when making this rankdown, there was a moment where I had to decide--do I go with the hot, new trendy song that people will want to rank, or get some representation for 70s reggae & dub?? Ultimately, I think the Peter Tosh song would've been a cooler pick, but I went with Olivia because, I mean. It's a Twilight themed rankdown, having one of the biggest hits of the year as the VAMPIRE feels more right. But this is a cool song.
Other "Vampire" artists: People in Planes (loved this band & song like a decade ago), Dominic Fike
Going to reveal up to the top 10 tonight!

I think this is a pretty good song, but it's also my greatest anguish in this rankdown because it's the only one that is even slightly different from the script. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a single song or combination of songs that perfectly lined up with "out of the cloud bank". This was the best I could do.22 Out of the Clouds – Emily KingPoints: 242 SD: 9.57 samo🦕 – 7 wrip – 11 singingrulebritannia – 17 nathanalbright – 17 zippy – 23 willapted33 – 26 American Idiot – 28 wheatsquares33 – 30 Trilogy – 33 aerodynamite – 36
