Juliana Hatfield song
[edit]"Close Your Eyes" was also a song by Juliana Hatfield that was used for the "My So Called Life" TV series, circa 1994— Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.177.182.247 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 18 January 2011
- The only Juliana Hatfield song mentioned in the article for My So-Called Life is "Make It Home", but "Close Your Eyes" does appear on her 2000 album Beautiful Creature, and I've added it to the dab page.--ShelfSkewed Talk 02:26, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Filk Song
[edit]I think that the reversion of the following was unjustified:
- "Close Your Eyes", a Filk song by Daniel A. Glasser, written in 2002.
The comment on the reversion was:
- (Reverted 1 edit by Filker0 (talk): Filk songs are not notable in themselves. (TW))
This is a value judgement which dismisses the entire music community that surrounds Filk. I strenuously reject the reason stated for reverting, not just on behalf of myself, but on behalf of the community.
But as far as that particular song goes:
- The song has been recorded by several artists, not all of them Filkers
- The song is often performed at ren-fests, folk festivals, SCA gatherings, and in the occasional coffee shop, not just in Filk circles
- The song is not a parody, has original lyrics and melody
- The song has won several awards in the Filk community
I will consult with some others, but I believe that the reference should be restored. Filker0 (talk) 00:46, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- Let me clarify. Perhaps the edit summary was badly worded; I did not mean that all filk was non-notable. I meant that the fact that something was filk did not, in itself, make it notable — that is, I didn't consider that the link given to Filk played the same role as a link to an album would do for more mainstream popular music; it still (as any other song of any genre) had to satisfy Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Notability (music). Given that there was no indication provided that the piece met those criteria, it seemed reasonable to remove it. Looking at your text above, I still do not see how it meets those criteria.
