I discovered this gem in my search for new Christian music at the start of the year, and whilst it's nothing particularly 'special' I think it's a beautiful song, and it was a really good song to help put my own faith into words on my own journey. The lyrics really spoke into my situation at the time, and I hope they may speak to you as well. Top 100 Chart History Corey Voss 03 Let It All Go (Corey Voss ft.

This song changed that - starting off as a piano ballad before slowly building into a full-vocalled and guitar heavy verse, it certainly got me listening!

Video CKMLBzXI21w Commentary The Youtube version of this seems to sound completely different to the version I've been listening to? But oh well, this is another fantastic song and whilst I wasn't sure how Lola Marsh would fit on a dance-pop song, it turns out it works very well! Very catchy, very more-ish and I'd be happy to hear some more similar. Top 100 Chart History Garden City Movement 2021 04 Summer Nights (Garden City Movement ft.

Video 6aF88sqic7o Commentary Now this is a beautiful song - an incredibly uplifting song of praise - by Canadian musician Daphne Richardson featuring the worship man of the moment CalledOut Music - which just seemed perfect for the November-December time when the year was just coming to a close. Whilst it took a little while to grow on me, the guitar coming in in the final chorus is just fantastic and makes the song such a fantastic piece of music for me. I'd happily lsiten to this all year long!

The chorus definitely outperforms the verses in this song, meaning it took me a tad longer to fully get into it, but the verses were evenaulyl pulled up by how much I loved the chorus. Definitely their song of 2021!

January 24, 20223 yr Lovely to see The Last Man on Earth here, my top song of the year :heart: I agree also that this song really made me pay attention to them, the album was a good listen but this was still the biggest standout. I really liked the Foals and Maximo Park songs too, the former another very good discovery of constant Radio 1 rinsing in the morning x
January 24, 20223 yr The last newfamiliar song to appear in this countdown is the first song I heard from them (of course, after their stint as Skinny Living). It feels so long ago that I'm surprised it was still 2021 but it remains a fantastic song, and whilst it doesn't have too many bells and whistles it's just one of those songs you can 'get into'. Just in case you miss the future releases because of it, they are now back under the name Skinny Living!

As with Wolf Alice and FINNEAS before it, it starts off quite mellow, before speeding up and absolutely kicking off in the latter part of the song. The topic of the song is very poignant as well, taking on the topic of war at a time when sometimes it always seems imminent. There is more to life than that!

Video pKFDqSfyShM Commentary In an almost identical conclusion to last year, Blossoms fail to get a Top 10 but get one of the longest-running Top 40 hits of the year and hence manage a high-placing track here. It's got all the hallmarks of a good Blossoms song, with a funky beat, twangy guitar and fantastic vocals. One of these every year would make me very happy!

I find encouraging music like this so strong from an artist like TobyMac, particularly given the death of his son a few years back, but he's kept going through his faith. And the song is a banger as well! Top 100 Chart History 2021 01 Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight) 2021 87 Promised Land

('educational' in the sense that I used it to improve my French - I now know how to say useful phrases such as 'I'm always scared of sad ambiences in your pond'). This song is incredibly cheesy but works incredibly well, their two voices complement each other very nicely and the spoken word in the verses is definitely my thing.

Video et-MS3ePCgM Commentary Now for an artist name I hadn't heard since BJSC in 2016! (amazingly I never charted 'Spirit Cold' thanks to my old rules despite the fact it's a fantastic song). Anyway, this one took a while to grow on me but it just works so well as a song and has outlasted most of the songs it was in the Top 10 with in my Top 40 right now. It just works so well!

January 25, 20223 yr Author Lovely to see The Last Man on Earth here, my top song of the year :heart: I agree also that this song really made me pay attention to them, the album was a good listen but this was still the biggest standout. I really liked the Foals and Maximo Park songs too, the former another very good discovery of constant Radio 1 rinsing in the morning x Same for me - a brilliant song and their standout so far for me. Glad you're enjoying some of the others as well - thanks Chez! Just in case you miss the future releases because of it, they are now back under the name Skinny Living! Ah interesting - wonder why they've switched back? Thanks for letting me know Whoddy!
January 26, 20223 yr Been waiting patiently for some more songs that I knew, and finally two come at once *.* Happy to see the anthemic (and indeed poignant) 'Waiting On A War', loving the Foo Fighters' consistently good music even after all these years. And 'Hear It Again' is also the first Tall Heights song I've listened to since BJSC as well :lol: I definitely prefer 'Spirit Cold' but this one's similar enough that it was easy to get into :D

It's fantastic old-fashioned indie-pop, his voice would work well with pretty much anything but he makes the melody flow so easily here.

The band element stood out massively compared to the rest of the French chart and it has two voices that complement each other very well, a funky guitar and a lovely melody!

This came out at the end of last year but got a new ease of life once all the Christmas songs had departed the chart. It's quite a different animal to Everything You Got but still has the same character and was very easy to get into.

Video 39lb_yUfBtE Commentary This one was a slightly odd one to rank as it had only peaked at #7 before I began my chart but went on to reach the top spot, and hence I've bumped it up quite a bit! This is Sea Girls' first Top 10 hit after a string of low Top 40s, bringing a winter theme into the theme of losing a friend/mental health. It's an incredibly emotive song but is still Sea Girls at their best.

And 'Hear It Again' is also the first Tall Heights song I've listened to since BJSC as well :lol: I definitely prefer 'Spirit Cold' but this one's similar enough that it was easy to get into :D Some coincidence! Glad you're a fan of the Foo Fighters, and glad you've come back to Tall Heights at the same time I have! I'd probably have trouble trying to pick a favourite out of Spirit Cold and Hear It Again, both are very nice to listen to. Thanks Jordan ^_^
