Hello NERDS!

So just like last year, since my Decade of Music project is over, I think I’m just going to do a very informal “these are the songs I liked” thing for 2021’s music.

Is that okay?
(If not, too bad!)

Here we go. Top five songs of the year:

♡ by Coldplay

This is a breathtaking song. Chris Martin’s voice hurts my soul in the best way, and the chords here are so…pure. For some reason this song makes me think of Vancouver.

King of Pride Rock by Hans Zimmer

I’m pretty sure Hans Zimmer is not of this planet. From about 3:40 to the end is just packed with so much emotion, and of course 4:21 is everything.

Grapes of Wrath by Weezer

This is the most Weezer song I’ve ever heard. And of course this is from their album where they discovered stringed instruments and there are violins and cellos EVERYWHERE, which I love.

And the music video, like many of their music videos, is great.

RAININ’ FELLAS by Todrick Hall

This is a very Lady Gaga-esque song (and music video). The chorus is banging and is very easy to get stuck in your head. 

The Luckiest by VOCES8

Okay, so VOCES8 didn’t write this song, but this is a gorgeous cover of it. The chord at 4:26 is stunning. This group has such strong bass.

DONE!
