Music Video Monday: Freedom Fall

Welcome back to our regularly scheduled edition of Music Video Monday. We're a little late with the posting due to hectic times at Night Beat HQ. Late isn't missed, however, like I missed Flashback Friday by a day.

We begin with a Live Video from +WarrAcresVEVO . This is Freedom Fall.
Next up is an artist I discovered last year from Christmas Music, of all things. Up and coming hip hop artist Shuree is up next with One Girl Can Change The World.
Finally, we have Bellarive as our final band this week. While it isn't exactly Music to raise the dead, it sort of is. This is Lazarus.
That concludes this edition of Music Video Monday. Until next week, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

#PlatVnyl4: The Nominees - Song of The Year, Part One

This is it, fans, the final #PlatVnyl4 post, at least as far as the nomination process goes. From now on it will be all #PlatVnyl5 material except for Flashback Friday, which I have resurrected. The final category is that of Song of The Year. I usually go for mega anthems in this category, but the big requirement is that it has to be a song that makes you go WOW!. All of them qualify in the second respect, but not all make the first. A bunch of non-anthems in the mix. I have also suspended a lot of judging for this category, so there are a dozen nominees. And the nominees are:

Bombs Away, +Jonathan Thulin (Feat. Charmaine)
Dust to Dust, +The Civil Wars 
Fire and Fury, +skilletband 
Hope Will Rise, +Warr Acres 
Love Restores, +ShineBrightBaby 
Need You Now (How Many Times), Plumb
Considering the number of nominees, I have made a decision to make this a two post segment in order to let people listen and judge. I am considering adding a survey portion to the awards this year and this is one of the categories I am thinking of. Stay tuned for part two. I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Swing Season: The 2014 1rst Quarter - Modern Worship

We have come to the end. Modern Worship had a whopping lucky thirteen entries this quarter. King of The Quarter. Since we try to narrow the final results down to seven, if this pace keeps up there will be a whole lot of hair splitting, and tearing hair out, among the judges.

The second quarter is upon us, let's waste no time finishing this.

• I Bow Down , Sean G. Park
• Burning Lights (Deluxe Edition) [+video] , Chris Tomlin
• Burning Lights (Deluxe Edition) [+video] , Acquire The Fire

Music Video Monday: Hope Will Rise

Welcome Back to Music Video Monday. We Never Rest. Well, we actually do, but not on faux holidays like today. Face it folks, it's right up there with Bunker Hill Day as a hack holiday. If no stores have sales commemorating the holiday, it's not real. Sorry, them is the facts of life.

We are continuing with Modern Worship in the new year. We begin with another video from Hillsong Young and Free. This is Alive.
After one wakes, depending upon how things are at the moment, you may have to convince yourself that Hope Will Rise. This is WARR Acres.
You're up and about and ready to face the world. Time to join Keith Elgin and Dance, Dance, Dance.
You're really feeling good round about now. Time to let out a big ROAR with WARR Acres and Katy Perry.
On to some Alternative Music next time. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
