oh mygod??
okay
I gotta do Navigating for the bridge I fear.....
this one is hard
NO WHY NOW
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
peak vs peak (paladin strait is more peak though)
Paladin strait
im voting navigating but theyre both very close
Two very good songs with significant lore value- ugh- nvm, I’m voting Navigating because it’s always been more relatable.
Fr I'm still reeling from Tyler's post I don't care about anything anymore 😭😭😭😭
PALAWIN STRAIT
Paladin sweep
paladin is great but navigating is just better Im so sorry 😭
I CAN'T STRESS HOW IMPORTANT PALADIN IS
Pardon my delay
nico please no not rn
Right?! 😭
I voted Paladin Strait because it's the song that got me hooked on top
Navigatinggg
Paladin sweep!!!
I have some choice words for @delicate bronze
lore accurate nico
twin
YOU CANT PUT THE TWO GOATS AGAINST EACH OTHER THIS EARLY
LOL LITERALLY PLAYING PALADIN RN I SEE
hardest fucking vote ever
damn i did not expect to have to choose between those two💔
this is so unfair. oh my godf
That bass on navigating tho...
nice
And those drums
LMAO the timing
YOU BEAT ME TO IT AHAHA
I’m still processing what Tyler said like hold on
I love Navigating but I feel like Paladin will sweep.
This is what I've always said
the vocals on paladin though
paladin sweep
Like I voted Navigating but I'm already mourning it
thats just a lie
yeah i’m lost someone tell me what to pick i like both of them😭🙏
Navigating
navigating
its goated
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TIME TO TAKE IT
VOTE PALADIN
sure
I see your point, but have you considered:
Eh oh, eh oh, eh oh
I like both ahhh
you can't do this to me 
i love navigating so much but i fear paladin strait might sweep..
it wont.
AAUUUGGHHH DONT DO THIS TO ME.
Navigating is very reminiscent of Two Door Cinema Club to me
oh thank god
unless navigating suddenly fell off in popularity, then it wont sweep
wow many different opinions can’t blame yall
I slightly prefer paladin but the silent bit in it makes it hard for me to listen to some times 😭
IM NAVIGATING 
navigating might be the best song of clancy imo
I raise you
"I can't be alone, guess I never told you so"
paladin is perfect
REAALLLL
Paladin Sweep
i feel like navigating will win since it very much sweeped last time we did a clancy song battle
navigating is the best song imo
Yeah I just wanna support paladin strait. I especially love it after hearing it live
your name says it all. your claims are garbage
I still can’t pick, I love both sm 🥹
Nice argument, but have you considered "Cause everybody leaves"
so true!! we got the jocals
kinda feels like everybody leaves
True, true. But then also,
Kinda feels like everybody leaves
also it was just so pretty
Oh okay so this is the hardest one
okay who is making these matchups.
NAVIGATING only bc it confirmed so many theories (fake josh for example)
im sorry paladin is fire but navigating is burning
yeah i feel like nothing’s gonna sweep both are great songs
josh's vocals are so night coded
Good point. Have you considered "can't be sure that I'll make it, even though I'm past the point of no return"
i feel like it’s gonna be tight
Okay I think navigating is better to me. I love both, but Navigating has my favorite lyrics:
"Now I'm tryin' to hold onto you because everybody leaves"
not josh's vocals, jocals
Let's stay respectful here ❤️ ✨
everybody leaves vs. you yourself leave
real
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOZED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY TWO FAVES OFF THW ALBUM 
Paladin only because of the concert version with bandito,,
what's "josh's vocals"? i only know jocals
Ok ok, but let's think about the fact that Josh Dun is not a real person
Ah shoot theses are both amazing
"my dad just lost his mom, i think that everybody leaves" hits me so much since my dad's fav song is house of gold
paladin sweep
I think I have to go Navigating just because it's technically my favorite favorite
How about you think about the teamup between the real Torchbearer and Clancy
In an all out battle against the bishops
paladin SWEEP
Dang it... ima prob go with navigating
Navigating just hits different, idk why.
theyre my two faves
paladin is really good but it's a bit too calm for me. i mean, it fits, but i like songs i can vibe to or the ones that have like this point where everything goes HARD (like goner)
LEVEL UP: You are now level 3!
sorry. jocals are so night coded they sound like finally getting to be near the person you love on a warm night where the air is cool and it gives you that temporary feeling that maybe, just maybe, everything is going to be alright because of that specific moment
i have very vivid ideas of what sounds evoke in me
god idk what to pick 😭
Bro's been standing there with Nico grabbing his neck for 14 months. Their legs gotta be tired fr
im glad navigating isn't up again MW
Paladin Strait makes me feel all the despair and somehow gives me the strength to get through it
the drums at the start of navigating are just so MMMM
and he's still standing 😭
PALADIN SWEEP
HEY SO WHAT THE HELL ‼️
LETS NOT LET NAVI LOSE PLS
jocals and tycals are literally like the moon and sun...if anyone cares.......
WHY IS THIS SO HARD
Not even a debate, navigating is the goat
I CARE i like your metaphors :D
paladin defenders pulling up to the debate:
if it was live ver I would’ve chose paladin strait 
i could go on about that specific one for days
based
they both have different vibes
based
exactly
that's kinda why this matchup sucks
This is actually pretty hard I’m ngl
thats right, get mad at the system!!!
pretty close but navigating
WHAT ANNOYS ME IN PALADIN IS THE WAIT BETWEEN THE SONG AND THE FINISH

So like… my mood today affects this battle. Ask me tomorrow, my mood would change. Bro
ruins the loopability
like dude it's not a music video 😭
These are two out of my top 3 !!
thisss
Oof I love both 😭
think its supposed to be like a bonus track vibewise
still frustrating ofc
Idk if I can choose omg
yee
City Walls is gonna continue Paladin
They’re both sad imo 😭
I think I'll vote Navigating tho cuz it's the first song I heard from Clancy album
ive switched to navigating for sheer loopability
THIS 😭
Kinda feels like everybody leaves
I can’t be alone
yeah 😭
thats why i said nostalgic in the next message 😭
N for Navigating?>
For me this is the hardest one yet 😭
so the real question is are you crashing out in your sadness or are you sitting in it
I CANNOT PICK
I think I gotta pick navigating bc that’s my boohoo cry song
wait thats true
It looked like Tyler whacked Josh with the guitar 😭 (bass? Idk the difference)
But Paladin Strait is still one of the best on the album
bass has four strings and is deeper!
Clancy sb 4 songs vs their seeding(fanmade from the 2 previous clancy song battles):
#1: Navigating (DEFENDING CLANCY SB WINNER)
#2: At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb
#3: Midwest Indigo
#4: Vignette
#5 Oldies Station
#6: Routines In The Night
#7: Next Semester
#8: Overcompensate
#9: Paladin Strait
#10: Lavish
#11: Backslide
#12: Snap Back
#13-14:The Craving (both versions)
mine is goner or iofb or trapdoor
real
Ah
you're so real for that
guys which song do you want to win the most
Navigating sweeps this prob
Snap back but it aint happening 💔
rip
Snapping back to last place 😭
This is so hard but I think I have to go with navigating
oh no that belongs to the craving both songs are in shambles
btw i love how navigating and my blood are connected
Navigating is good but pardon strait wins this easily
pardon strait
i would swim the pardon strait
wait pardon...
pardon my strait
PARDON MY DELAY
HE GOTTTTT IT
we are in sync and cooking
I'll just put this here because this is the only place where people care about this kinda thing:
Paladin Strait is the one song that can feel both like an ending of a chapter and the beginning of a new one; it starts with a melancholic theme and ends in an all out battle against the inner self culminating in a "drowning" kinda feeling, then brings hope back through the final verse and then dread again with Nico's voice;; it came out at a very important time in my life, and resonated with the internal struggles. It's a rollercoaster, it's subtle, it has it all and that is why I'll be choosing Paladin over any other song (on any album)
aww
real tho
@dense osprey THIS IS THE WORST DUDE
THIS IS EVILLLLLLL
literally peak v peak I CANNOT DO THIS
SHUT UP DONT REMIND ME
They’re getting back at us for everyone having such an easy choice in the last round
....
Im sorry navigating, but I have chosen Paladin Strait
i may have been among the 257 votes
Was it easy to choose?
ive never done this before where do we vote 😭
ngl i went back and forth a bit cos jenna's craving got me in shambles
navigating is overall surperior
i dont really like oldies...
i mean i like oldies but its not as good as the rest songs for me
:D
i might just that thing where i click the grey space inbetween the buttons
WHY ISN’T THERE A BOTH OPTION 
and ball
MAKE AN ALT ACC
AND CHOOSE THE 2ND ONE
SOMEONE DID THAT ON TRENCH I THINK
OH COME ON, THIS WAS RIGGED
i mean, its the defending clancy sb winner for a reason
@delicate bronze YOU.
dude i predicted half of the matchups on self titled, IT IS RIGGED
I can't believe Paladin Strait is going that fast...
oh hi port
Still, I'm going with Paladin Strait till the end
Trust guys Paladin Sweep!
rose for u
(that ain't gonna happen)
pardon, navigate sweep :)

I DO LOVE PALADIN THO
i love paladin but navigating is my pookie dude i cannot
i think of it this way, paladin is more of a listen alone track (sobbing) and navigating is smth u can put on in the car and bump to so yea
I would sweep the Paladin Strait
aight imma play val bye guys
This
pardon my delay
i'm navigating, i'm navigating
my sweep
Chat, I’m Sweepigating 
although the live paladin x bandito is so fire, if i were voting off the live versions of the songs, yeah paladin would get it but just base album tracks, navigating

Off topic but is that a sleep token pfp I see??
oh no 
What’s your favourite song. 
hunga u should make a gc for all the clikkies that also like sleep token, this is a recurring thing 
GC is too small
Higher or Caramel
I think my favorites are Euclid, Take Aim and Infinite Baths
I haven’t heard the first two all the way through
Closing tracks in general are just so goated for when you wanna feel like clawing your eyes out
Real
I discovered ST like a few months ago and the day I discovered them I listened to EIA a billion times that day 😂
I love Take Aim personally bc the lyrics set off my hyperfix alarm and now the song is permanently attached to some characters I write about so that’s why it’s so high on the list
EIA is so goated tho they grow more and more with each album drop
I LOVE navigating SM but I had to pick paladin strait cus it means so much to me and my bf :(
Navigoating will win the whole battle
So sorry for the lore, Navigating its my favorite
Nice
Not gonna vote tbh I can’t omg
i call my anxiety and self-doubt nico
so when it starts harassing me again i just go oh shut up nico
also damn
why's he giving us the toughest song battles?
paladin strit hitting diff with the announcement just made
GIVEEER MEER SOME ADVISEEEE
I AM WASTINGG AL THIS TIIIIIIIIMEEEEEE
MYYYYYY OHHHH MYTYYYYYYY
<@&323555864646647808> pin this (pls dont ban me)
know that navigating will win 🤚
no
bro
no
now why would you ping the whole staff
no
oh im ded
navigating will lose now just because of that
NOOOO Who’s making these battles

paladin is peak but navigating is a bop
just for that, poot is gonna manually make Paladin win
you've jinxed this whole battle now
I’m not voting in this one I definitely cant choose
yep
wait so that means... NEXT SEMESTER HAS A CHANCE OF WINNING
IM SORRY
Brother what have you done

infamous
NAVIGATING MY LOVE
does staff hate navigating
PALADIN STRAIT BEST TOP SONG
well this match up is rude. I live them both
paladin strait sweep
Well this battle sucks, gonna vote Navigating tho
Pardon my delay
I would swim
Navigating 0 hesitation!!!
That song carried me through the 2nd half of 2024
And how catchy is it????
ONE OF MY FAVS FOR SURE
Same, in my top3 of all TØP songs
Damnnn
chat remember when i said i hadn't listened to the clancy album
i have now, and im crying bc vignette is already off the table
i refuse to vote anymore /lhj
Rippp
Navigating all the way
PERO POR QUEEEEE?????? 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭
If navigating wins over paladin strait im actually gonna riot
SO incredibly real Luz Noceda
PALADIN SWEEP 🔥 🔥 🔥
You already know
LEVEL UP: You are now level 13!
WTH i genuinely don’t know what to vote 😭
I know this defeats the whole point but I wish you could vote both
Do not put two queens against each other
Navigating!
Guys this will be the first time I’m not voting
I gotta pick Paladin Strait for the lore
I always vote but nah I’m good this time
Actually
Paladin is the best outro other than goner for me if it wasn’t for the damn garbage minute
paladin …….
Not this ! You can't do this to me ! I'm still crying with what Tyler told us, you can't make me cry even more
😭
what are you referring to?
The fact that they are doing a pause in concerts and that they will not come to Europe for Breach, it's making me sad even if I understand and support them in that decision
yh i was disappointed about the europe part :( i wouldnt rather see anyone else in concert
Me too ! My father asked me this morning what I would like the most for my 18th birthday and I told him "if they come to France, I would love to go to a TØP concert, it's the only thing I want more than anything else". Now I have to wait a really long time, I don't want to believe I will never see them on tour
😭
This is awfully hard
They’re not going to much of Canada either right?
Paladin Strait, easy vote 🤩
I’m really disappointed I got into them right after they came here and now they probably won’t come back to not Toronto/Vancouver Canada anytime soon
Paladin Sweep
This one is so unfair I love these songs equally
pal!a!din!
Oof but paladin strait
Go forth my paladings
navigating means so much to me, I love paladin strait, it'll probably win, but navigating please
Hell nah navigating better win
Bro paladín strait 🤫🧏♂️
This is gonna be close I think. But I think Navigating will win comfortably
One point as well - Navigating is likely to be in more people's musical rotation as people regularly cite the silence in Paladin Strait as a negative and won't add it to their playlists.
that's sooo hard!! i love both songs, both of them are amazing 😭
Paladin live is simply amazing and unforgettable
oh yesss, it gives me chills every time i see Tyler and Josh singing together 😍🔥
PALADIN STRAIT MY FAVORITE SONG EVER PLEASE
navigating instrumentals and lyrics mean so much to me
"Feeling the reality that everybody leaves" is currently hitting home right now.
I would instantly choose next semester sorry
Overcompensate >>
anyways, i voted navigating
i like paladin but the minute of birds means i can’t loop it
Paladin is better but navigating is gonna win
Same
The 1 minute Paladin bird break is probably gonna knock off at least 200 votes from it
Yeah, that's true. I definitely wish that part was shorter, but I looove the rest of Paladin
Me too. It has a really great buildup
Paladin 100%
I love thr bird chirping in paladin it kinda builds suspense
Hwoever
Navigating sweep
i took navigating
Birds sounds make the song better
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
It's tough for me but I might go with Navigating because of the song's meaning. I love how well the song demonstrates that feeling of being isolated and trapped in your own head, both lyrically and sonically. Also super catchy
Yeah I can somewhat see that. For me personally it just became dull after a while, I mean when I'm listening to music, I wanna be hearing, yknow music haha
I still feel like there HAS to be a lore reason as to why there's even the bird break to begin with
still struggling on an answer 
navigating better not win
paladin strait will win this time
I chose Navigating even though I still love Paladin Strait
Nico is evil for matching these two up
i would swim the paladin strait for paladin strait
The Clancy song battles are sooo difficult because Clancy is too perfect
Going with Paladin
for anyone still on the fence
credit: small kusa
You know what
I love Navigating
But Paladin Strait… is so epic and emotional
My vote goes to Paladin Strait
I had to go paladin bc it's my brother's fave song of all time
this lowk hard but paladin goes crazy 🙏🙏
Navigating jsut goes hard sorry paladin
Paladin sweeps man
THIS IS SO HARD💔💔💔
sorry but i'm not voting paladin strait until they release a version without the birds
navigating awesome too
LEVEL UP: You are now level 7!
I wouldn’t vote paladin even if they did do that
but it would be nice
It's paladin 100% if there are no birds.
genuinely the hardest choice oml
i feel this
meant this lol oops mb
ngl i loveee paladin for its msg but navigatings production fucking like. rocks. and then it goes subtle and soft for a moment like ur brain finally tiring itself after navigating for so long and like. i think theres beauty in that smm. but the song also motivates me too, a lot. esp when on a run
as for paladin, its also beautiful in the same way bc it sounds like the end of an era song (lol) but also the start of a new one, like. taking it in stride, yk ? but the min of ambience REALLY misses for me personslly. i see it as the quiet before the storm (nico) but rawufuhfjf
this is peak vs peak but i think
navigating is getting my vote. its my beloved when i feel stuck asf ( + snap back)
it helps to feel unstuck then GET unstuck like damn this song fr be making me think whats the best route to my dilemma at hand rn, lol
this is so hard too bc paladin strait is so good skdjhdhdjd its also a convo between clancy and TB (i saw it live and josh sang some of the song and likee. damn it fr is a convo wtf ?!) anyways random trinh ramble over
oh wow this is hsrd
nico
fuck u
i’m voting navigating
i love paladin but i’m a sucker for a heavy bass and drum fills
If you really wanna know what I’m thinking..
navigating will probably sweep given this fanbase
I can't believe navigating was one of Tyler's least favorites on Clancy
It's so fire
That bass line after the bridge 🤌🤌💋
I know my vote for paladin won't be enough 💔 so majority wins
Oh yeahhhhh navigatinggggg
yall suck bro
Yeah 😭
NOOOOO
ps did better than i thought it would
Nooo ! Paladin Strait lost !!
😭
I’m going to fucking lose it
If anyone voted against it because of the birds you’re banned from music
LEVEL UP: You are now level 10!
yesss navigating 🔥

im navisweeping
WHAT
PALADIN STRAIT DIDN’T WIN???? oh my goodness, my favorite songs are losing :’(
it's a travesty
My favorite song lost 😔
THERES NO WAY
NAVIGATING PULLED OUT A WIN OH MY GOD IM SO HAPPY
What did you expect ? It's going for top 3 minimum
Paladin strait is the most underrated on the album
Yeah the rough part here is it had to go against reigning Clancy sb winner Navigating
I can't believe Paladin Strait didn't win 😒
@tough kettle ive heard around its mostly cuz of the pause...I love it tho
