Mass Effect - An End, Once And For All

Song of the Week, AND Song of the Year number two!

I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by. It's been jam packed with goings on too! Again, I had to think long and hard about this one. I've been pondering it over for a couple of months now. Today I decided on this one. This year I've been listening to a lot of soundtracks. That's one of the reasons for this as the Song of the Year for 2014. Another is that this is simply a beautiful piece of music and it never fails to invoke amazing and pure emotions in me. The other reason is that this year has been full of endings. A lot of things have "ended, once and for all." Sometimes it has been the best thing that could have happened. Other times it has been frustrating, devastating and heart breaking. I feel that this particular piece sums it all up in one. All of the rises and the falls, and the swell at the end in preparation for the end of this year and the beginning of the next.

Bullseye - Arcade Bandit

This is the last Song of the Week for 2013. Thusly, I have decided that instead of this being my favourite song for this week this is my favourite song of the entire year.

I did have to contemplate this one for a long time and while a few of the songs that have been granted the title of Song of the Week year have been among my all time favourites I've decided that my Song of the Year will go to one that hasn't been on here yet at all.

Arcade Bandit by Bullseye is without a doubt my number one song for this year. I love chiptune, and dubstep has been taking my fancy rather a lot recently, so the two things combined? Love it! I could literally listen to this song on repeat for a whole day and not tire of it. For me, this is my Song of the Year and it reminds me of the struggles that I've had this year and the strength that I've drawn from the music I've listened to to overcome it all.

I hope that next year brings me more new artists and songs that are just as excellent as this one.
