Song a day challenge, day 60 - A song that almost made it to any of the other days

"I Burn the Day, the Ghost" by Thence. I loved this album, and this song especially. I hope we see more music from this band.

Song a day challenge, day 59 - I like this song but nothing else by this artist

"The Diary of Jane" by Breaking Benjamin. But even this song is questionable. There are cover versions I like better than the original, and most Breaking Benjamin songs sound pretty samey.

This cover is by the legend Jonathan Young. 🤘

Song a day challenge, day 57 - decade defining song of the 2010s

Gonna go with an album here - "The Unforgiving" by Within Temptation. This album is a masterpiece - easily WT's best. About 1/2 the songs from this album are in my exercise playlist.

Song a day challenge, day 56 - decade defining song of the 2000's

"Big Machine" by Goo Goo Dolls. When I first heard this song, I was driving somewhere and it came on the radio. I liked it so much, I stopped at a record store to buy the album, before I continued to wherever I was going.

Song a day challenge, day 54 - this song reminds me of home

I can't really think of anything, so here's "First Regret / 3 Years Older" by Steven Wilson. The whole "Hand Cannot Erase" album is a masterpiece.

Song a day challenge, day 53 - favorite song from a movie

"Addict" from Hazbin Hotel. I discovered this show because a bunch of Youtubers all covered this song at the same time, so I had to find out where the song came from. I can't wait for more episodes!

Song a day challenge, day 47 - I didn't know this about an artist until I saw them live

"Shiroyama" by Sabaton. A little girl threw a drawing onstage that said "Sabaton is awesome". They invited her up onto the stage to sing and play with the band, and Joakim Broden gave his sunglasses to her. That kid is a fan for life.

Song a day challenge, day 45 - a song by an artist from a place where I have lived.

Song a day challenge, day 44 - my favorite live performance

"Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish - from 2013. Floor Jansen had been hired as a temporary singer to help complete this tour, but when I saw how she nailed the performance in this song, I knew they would keep her permanently. This lady can make the earth quake with her powerful vocals.

Song a day challenge, day 42 - this song contains the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything
