Giant Bomb Community GOTY - Best New Song (Voting)

Welcome as we continue a month long project I am hosting to allow the fans of the site to offer their chance to vote for the GOTY awards. Over the next month I will be posting a new award every day and will let the fans vote on the winner as well as the runners up. Here are links to the winners of the previous categories:

The Voting Process

So here's how we are going to do this. You will have free reign to nominate anything you want as long as it fits with the category and was released in 2011. When you reply to the post put your winner and runner up. So for example If I was voting for this category I would put down

Winner: Build that Wall (Bastion)

Runner Up: Want You Gone (Portal 2)

The way the scoring system will work is that the winner from each person will get 2 points and the runner up will get one point. At the end of the day I will tally up all the points and whoever has the most wins and consequently the 2nd and 3rd highest will be the runners up. For GOTY we will do a winner and four runners up but the voting process will still be the same.

The Voting will end on December 3rd at 11:59 pm EST and the winner will be announced the following day. At the same time the voting for the next award will begin.

This category recognizes new songs that were released this year. Please only vote for a single song rather than an entire soundtrack. You song does not have to include vocals. It can be instrumental or vocal as long it was moving or powerful for you. Have fun.

I feel weird about this. I don't LOVE Mother I'm Here (AKA Setting Sail, Coming Home), but it's usage within Bastion is pretty much perfect. I also loved the SotD and Solar 2 soundtracks, but no one song is good enough to nominate over the others. Overall, my answers are a compromise.

Winner:

Runner Up: Mother I'm Here (Bastion)

On the plus side, This thread has reminded me how great the Solar 2 soundtrack is! I wrote a review, you should read it. And then buy the game.

The second one of these I post in, and my winner is still so fucking obvious. :( I'm not original.

Winner: Hawke Family Theme, Dragon Age II (As a whole may be my favourite soundtrack of the year, it's fantastic!)
 
Runner Up: I feel a bit cheap for using this as it's technically it's based on a theme that's 4 years old, but... Theme of Amaterasu,  Marvel vs. Capcom 3

You do mean December 3rd, right? It would also probably be a good idea to mention the timezone you are referring to.

Runner Up

Build that Wall (Bastion)

Updated after finishing Bastion.

If it was in Bastion, Skyrim, Dark Souls, or Shadows of the Damned, then it gets my vote.

SSCH affected me more than any video game song ever. If I could give it 3 points and skip the runner up, I'd do it.

hrm....

Winner: Ornstein & Smough (Dark Souls)

Runner Up: The Hunt for Fowl's Legs (Baba-Yega) (Catherine) and Mussorky Meets the Dragon (Rock of Ages)

those last two are spawned from the same song (the same danged movement even) so I say it counts! if not than just go with the one from Catherine.

My vote will hardly count as I am picking a song from Skyrim that isn't the main theme and another from a game I have yet to play but listened to from youtube and thought it was real nice. Well here goes:

Winner: Under an Ancient Sun - Skyrim

Runner-Up: Build That Wall - Bastion

Why did I not pick Sons of Skyrim for this instead? For me personally, its ambient nature complimented the opening hours of the game so well that it effectively brought the environment to life the moment it played for me. I still really love Sons of Skyrim though and man overall another great year for game music.
