I'm a bit surprised 'Rink' isn't getting more love. I have some problems with it, but I'd have expected that to be an obvious finalist or near-finalist. Explain.
Certainly I find it surprising that it's losing to the forgettable 'Yer Not the Ocean,' a song with an unusually weak lyrical conceit IMHO, and which expires once Rock's trite keyboards come in. An inoffensive but basically bland cut, I feel. 'Rink' is not bland and is about something real.
