Instantly won over by that huge chorus and those glorious synths, it became a huge hit in the contest too and proved that Hendinia still have it and can still impress us (when they're not being shady about our own entries). 'High' sent me flying and still does whenever i listen and remains one of those songs that never fails to pump me up and get me going. Hoping Hendinia stick around in '15 and deliver more of these.. And with a release imminent in the new year, here's hoping it soars for the rest of the UK.
December 3, 201410 yr Author s6riHyxsUl0 3. Espen // Trevor Something - All Night In a DARK year for Espen shrouded in misery and R.I.P.s!!1 they had a few moments that really grabbed me. The most prominent was the first of two entries they sent from Trevor Something; the something standing for something special. 'All Night' in all of its 'Get Lucky'-lite vibes is a haunting, twilight anthem. His voice is sensual, the lyrics are beautiful and the aesthetics that surround the artist and song are second to none. A song that i relate to a lot, "dancing" alone all night, bad boy types, trying to make you mine, it just SPEAKS to me. This was set to top my EOY chart for some time but two other songs continued to grow throughout the year and it has had to settle for a bronze medal. Espen just can't catch a break this year can they~
December 3, 201410 yr Author sR11nkpBGyY 2. Aeroche // Ain't No Love - Love Me Lots (Bridge & Law Remix) The contest's #1 country this year scores the second biggest here. 'Love Me Lots' took a while to grow on me. In the contest it didn't even get my 12 points, but as the year went on it began to impackt me a whole heap more. It defined the rollercoaster trip to Glasgow earlier this year and became an anthem for that experience. Aeroche are known for their dance, and i occasionally overlook some of their entries as lacking in the identity that i need to get behind them, but this track came packed with personality. Hugely enjoyable it became a staple for my nights out/haus parties and it even gathered a few non-bjsc fans through this. I don't often get Aeroche's hype but here i was perhaps the one hyping it up the most and will continue to do so. We be making all that noise, but not quite enough to get the gold... :o

December 3, 201410 yr Author pdjRlwIbtfM 1. Ramrynia // Kitty Pryde - •.¸.•SECOND♥LIFE•.¸.• I choose... you. Yep. Ryan take this pride (because it's RARE). Kitty Pryde takes over the crown from Autre Ne Veut for D'yermak'er's #1 song of the year :o •.¸.•SECOND♥LIFE•.¸.• as the title begins to suggest is a schizophrenic, manic, mess of lovely tones, explosive instrumentation and soaring vocals/raps. The song takes you on a journey into the artist's warped mind, a journey so frantic you're left exhausted at the end of every listen. It starts delicately but gradually crescendos to that final minute which orgasms over and over again. It became a song that also defined a time for me this year; the very best time of the year as it happens when i was most content, in the middle of the summer as i ventured out to meet others from here and party with this track blaring out in my head throughout it all~ The song speaks to me about exploring the self, most poignantly in terms of the darkness we find in ourselves, and it offers a light at the end of it when it falls into silence, but explodes once more. I don't know if Ryan knows how much the song gave me joy this past year, or if he even feels an ounce of what i do for it, but i thank you for the discovery and hope there's more of the same next year. http://i.imgur.com/afzo58U.gif

December 3, 201410 yr Great countdown, Bal! I enjoyed reading your commentaries - you've a real talent for articulating the intricacies of songs and how they make you feel.

It's a lovely write-up you've wrote there which definitely explains what I feel about the song too, but I can tell from what you've wrote that the song has connected with you on a completely different level than it did to me no matter how much I love it. I'm so glad that a song I introduced to you has given you so much enjoyment and meaning, winning this makes up for my bad contest results this year! I haven't listened to this song for a couple of months or so now, but I'm going to rediscover it all over again now as your description is just so... right! :wub: Now it's time to start the campaign for this to win TBO!
December 3, 201410 yr Author Chrissss i am sorry :( you are still my bjsc idol of sorts, just wasn't a track i properly got behind this year. Take the trickle points i gave you throughout the year as a sign i still care <3 Great countdown, Bal! I enjoyed reading your commentaries - you've a real talent for articulating the intricacies of songs and how they make you feel. Aww thank you! :heart: Kind words <3 I always hoped it may be your #1 of the year, but I thought it'd fall short and finish a couple of places outside - I'm so pleased I was wrong. It's a lovely write-up you've wrote there which definitely explains what I feel about the song too, but I can tell from what you've wrote that the song has connected with you on a completely different level than it did to me no matter how much I love it.

I haven't listened to this song for a couple of months or so now, but I'm going to rediscover it all over again now as your description is just so... right! :wub: Now it's time to start the campaign for this to win TBO! It did have a tough fight with the other entries in the top 3, but it started to pull away as i got back into it. It is undeniably the biggest bjsc song for me this year :wub: YES for TBO although if it could only just scrape top 20 in the actual contest i'm unsure of its chances :kink: (p.s. the hype you gave to the song throughout its contest was another highlight for me :lol: i loved how into it you got even before the contest started and i was happy to drive along the hype train with you. Even if it didn't live up to the hype, we had fun along the way which is what matters *_*)
