jukebox_fest2016's nominations are open! The tag set is here.
Nominations will close at 23:59 (i.e., the last minute of) 26 March 2016 in EDT. That link should give you the corresponding time in your own time zone.
Nominations have two stages:
Step 2 isn't mandatory, but it's really helpful when I make a large table of where to find all of this year's canons. And that table is helpful for getting other people interested in the pieces YOU want to receive or create a gift in.
And of course, step 0.5 - if you're not quite sure what to nominate, see the brainstorming posts on Dreamwidth and on LiveJournal - and past posts tagged with "brainstorming" - to get and give ideas.
To nominate, go to http://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/1117 and click the "Nominate" button at the top right. You will need to be signed in with your AO3 account. If you don't have one, request one now at AO3, or ask me.
You will see eight blank spaces for your nominations. You don't have to fill them all in at once.
Very few songs are already listed on the AO3, so you may be creating new fandoms. This means they won't auto-complete or appear in a drop-down menu when you're typing them. That's okay.
The preferred AO3 format for songs and videos is:
Song Name - Artist (Medium)
If you have a specific cover artist in mind, use them.
For example,
Mykonos - Fleet Foxes (Music Video)
Mykonos - Fleet Foxes (Song)
Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley (Song)
Lilac Wine - Nina Simone (Song)
For some types of music, a different (Medium), such as (Ballad), (Spoken Word Piece), etc, may seem more appropriate. Go with what seems sensible to you. (Song) is an okay catch-all.
Please check the spelling carefully when you enter your nominations.
Once you have submitted nominations, you can edit each one until I've approved it. You can do this by going back to the tag set, clicking "My Nominations", then "Edit". You don't have to choose all eight of your nominations at once - you can enter some nominations, submit them, then come back and fill in the rest a little later, again by using "Edit Nominations".
When I've approved a nomination, it may not show up instantly in the tag set, but should show up within a couple of days. Meanwhile, I'll keep the LJ and DW communities up to date.
When you comment with sources for the music you've nominated, here is what is useful:
-the name of the piece & artist
-a link to some online source (YouTube etc)
-a link to lyrics.
The genre of the song, if you know it, is also helpful.
If you'd rather email me (jukebox.mod@gmail.com) than comment on LJ or DW, that is fine.
This post is also on LiveJournal.

Nominating the songs themselves in all cases. The top two are from shows, but they are both self-contained stories.

Date: 2016-03-26 04:30 pm (UTC)“Be quite” by Riki Gal, link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hcEPikUpHI
Be still , now everything is fine
Even the suffocation will be easier to bear
We are not in hell , and definitely not in heaven
This is home, and we have none to spare
Be quite now, as if you are perfect
As if you are protected by the very air
As if all your woes have been crystallize into beauty
Like roses growing from a dusty land .
Be quite now, how much longer can you reveal yourself
exposing your vulnerability without fear of humiliation
As vulnerability itself is a form of power
As it tranquility itself is a panic-stricken beach.
This is my attempt at a verbal translation of this song. I do not think it’s sufficient so I’m adding an explanation:
This s song about a woman who is attempting to comfort her friend, by telling her that there is no choice but to accept the reality ; And that even if our reality is far from perfect, it is not always so terrible as well. We are not in paradise , however – we are also not in hell.
She goes on an absolve her friend from blame: “you can be quiet, because even if you have a fault, it does not matter. You can already forget it. You are safe and protected, even by the very air.
Than she attempts to give her friends suffering some meaning:” Look, your troubles are already beginning to take shape and beauty. That is - what has caused you pain slowly becomes something else, a work of art that can touch others.
This song is for anyone once felt different , unusual , unnecessary , unneeded. It’s for whoever full of pain and rage. It’s for anyone who was hurt, humiliated and terrified. It’s telling us: In your pain and vulnerability there is strength – you are not weak, you are strong. You are not ugly – you are beautiful. Do not loose hope.

Date: 2016-03-26 05:13 pm (UTC)I'll take song-alone on this, too, but come on: women, magic, longing. Is that the same woman, at different times in her life - perhaps different lives? And if they're not the same woman - are the relatives, friends, lovers (<-please)?
Who By Fire - Maureen Nehedar & Rona Keinan Cover (Song): youtube, lyrics
Leonard Cohen wrote this song off a Day of Atonement piyut (pietous poetry incorporated into prayer, but not in itself an article of prayer). In this version, Persian-Jewish paytanit (that is, musician who specializes in this genre) Maureen Nehedar and (lesbian, depression-survivor) rock singer/songwriter Rona Keinan perform it as a duet, with Maureen adding in verses from Atonement Day prayer Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father, Our King; this would be the Hebrew verses, and the title should be google-able).
Journey - Mark Eliyahu (Instrumental): youtube
Mark Eliyahu's music is, simultaneously, Jewish-variant devotional/mystical and West-to-Central Asian; both are his heritage. This particular piece has a cinematic quality, to me - there's a story happening here. The title tells us something about what kind of a story that is, but the rest is open to imagination.
Habib Galbi - A-WA Cover (Music Video): youtube, lyrics + translation
Habib Galbi is a folk song, and the video reads - to me - like a folk tale. Who is the old woman watching? What are the three dancing men? How did the three sisters came to be in that predicament, and how goes their journey to what seems like a happy supernatural ending?
Dancing on Needles - Charlotte Martin (Song): youtube (fanvid; cuts before the actual end, but doesn't lose lyrics and more than suffices; live versions also exist on youtube, but they're all piano-solo acoustic and veeeeeery different), lyrics
This song makes some obvious references to The Little Mermaid, but reads as if it's between two women - and then there's mentions of wars and other things that aren't in Andersen's tale.

You who know not to distinguish between right and wrong
Every day you’re crashing, never knowing were it came from
Every story you create is a maze with now way out
You hunger to grow up, but you will always be a child.
You how strive to touch the starlight in your hand
Never sleep at night, working all hour of the day
Going from one doomed affair to the next
Burred down from inside our, like a cigarette
Shira, your life will await you
The day will die with the coming dawn
And you will remember no longer
The things I’ve forgotten to talk with you about
Perhaps one day you will get of the roller coaster
Perhaps one day you’ll stop filling your lungs with smoke
Just stand quietly before a mirror for a moment
Let it – let yourself – see how beautiful you are
This song is talking about a young woman who is trying to find herself and is failing, who is trying to grow up and is does not quite managed that. She is burned down from inside, and sees no beauty in herself or her
surrounding.
However, the singer here is telling her that her life is waiting for her, and there is hope yet, and that everything will be all right. It’s a song of hope
