Favourite Song of the Week

If you're like me, you change favourite songs per week - whether they're just stuck in your head, or a new discovery!

So, what's your favourite song of this week? Here's mine:

Artist: Rhydian Roberts, a finalist of the X Factor 2007 competition in Britain. (In my honest opinion, he should have won. That voice is amazing.)
Song: Bridge Over Troubled Water

Artist: Jonathan Coulton
Song: I Feel Fantastic

Other notes?: "Thing a Week" is the name that Coulton gave to a creative experiment which ran from 16 September 2005 to 30 September 2006. In this project, Coulton undertook to record 52 musical pieces in the course of a year, one each week. This target was mostly achieved, missing only a few weeks. The objectives were: (a) to push the artist's creative envelope by adopting what Coulton describes as a "forced-march approach to writing and recording"; (b) to prove to himself that he was capable of producing creative output to a deadline; and © to test the viability of the internet and Creative Commons as a platform capable of supporting a professional artist financially. Early indications are that the experiment succeeded in generating a large number of high quality songs, boosting sales of music downloads, expanding Coulton's public presence and enlarging his fan base. The success of the financial objective is more difficult to judge, but Coulton was quoted in a September 2006 interview as stating that "in some parts of the country, I’d be making a decent living"

That song is absolute WIN. It's one of the theme songs of my life.

Let's see... right now I'd have to say my favourite song of the week is Winterborn, by the Cruxshadows (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=SVNjx4k8mWk">http://youtube.com/watch?v=SVNjx4k8mWk</a><!-- m -->) It's such a strangely beautiful song, and if you've ever been to one of the concerts, the lead singer gives off this crazy ethereal energy. It's completely awesome and I love him <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
