A quiet reflective country track taking on the fact that none of us are perfect and we all mess up sometimes, but that doesn't define us and God still loves us despite our human shortcomings. It's an incredibly moving track and quite emotional as well, a nice one to just sit to and listen to. Again and again.

I was excited to hear their music in full, however when I looked them up I found that they had absolutely no online presence whatsoever. So I forgot about them. Until a year later when I searched them again and found they had finally released some music :magic: I remember them performing this one as part of their act but the studio version sounds so much better, the harmonies are just fantastic.

I imagine this will just completely pass some people by but it's just such a fantastic song to get me into the mood for letting God into my life, the song being focussed on letting the Holy Spirit fill us afresh.

The song itself is an absolute gem, as you've probably gathered people singing together really ticks a box for me and that's done so well in the chorus for this song.

The vocal range of 7Chariot is fantastic, so much so that I considered sending the song to Duets before realising it wasn't one :lol: And the music video is an emotional one as well (even if it is about cartoon dogs) Top 100 Chart History Bakermat 2016 07 Living (Bakermat ft.

I've used the lyric video here as it's such a powerful cartoon. Top 100 Chart History 2017 11 Thunder 2017 65 Born To Be Yours (Kygo ft.

December 31, 20213 yr I've just given 'The Van Is Evil' a listen and I thought the production was pretty interesting but I can't deal with the Scouse account in the vocals. I'm pretty local to Liverpool and I hear enough of that accent already :lol: The Imagine Dragons track is sounding pretty nice. A lot more relaxed than most everything else I've heard from them and it suits them pretty well. My favourites from them remain 'Demons' and 'On Top of the World'.

Video VR60YYxy2aM Commentary Tom Speight has had somewhat of a resurgence this year with a few different songs.

Whilst it's got no particular 'selling point' it's just a very good song that after a few listens became a firm favourite. Top 100 Chart History Matoma 2016 08 Paradise (Matoma & Sean Paul ft.

January 1, 20223 yr Author The Vaccines track sounds decent. :music: Glad you're enjoying listening to it - thanks Adam! I've just given 'The Van Is Evil' a listen and I thought the production was pretty interesting but I can't deal with the Scouse account in the vocals. I'm pretty local to Liverpool and I hear enough of that accent already :lol: The Imagine Dragons track is sounding pretty nice. A lot more relaxed than most everything else I've heard from them and it suits them pretty well. My favourites from them remain 'Demons' and 'On Top of the World'. Ah, the local accent is a big pull for me! I like the fact she's not trying to make herself sound 'American' or disguise her voice in any way but I understand it might be a bit grating if you're not a fan of the accent. Glad you're enjoying 'Wrecked' though! Thanks Lewis ^_^

The first verse doesn't really stand out but the bridge/chorus brings with it a real bash that is so often missing with songs like it. Certainly gets me up on my feet!

But I finally found that it was this song by Miss Li (famous for BJSC entry 'Aqualung' which amazingly I never charted despite adding it to my own playlist) - more specifically the VIZE remix, adding to the quite large number of hits VIZE have begun to rack up. I've since realised that the original of this song isn't too different from the remix but ah well!

January 4, 20223 yr Hey Pete! Lots I'm unfamiliar with here but I'm a follower of Bowski Island and 'Physical Presence' is a bit of a tune :music:
January 5, 20223 yr Sorry for being so late to tune in! Naturally there's too much I don't know for me to listen to them all, but very very happy to see 'Wrecked' here. 'Follow You' did nothing for me either but this one proved they can still make a powerful song, and really brought back my hype for the album, which turned out to be quite good!
