Good Monday morning, I will add three songs to GSOTD to today's post and Playlist. Enjoy the music. Christian Rock: CCM: Lay 'Em Down by NEEDTOBREATHE. The song's core themes revolve around empathy, compassion, and the power of shared catharsis. It encourages listeners to confront their vulnerabilities, seek connection with others, and find peace by unburdening themselves. The song's significance lies in its reminder that despite our differences, we all carry burdens, and by coming together and laying them down, we can find healing and unity. GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum band NEEDTOBREATHE is a dynamic force in rock, who have generated over one billion streams, topped several Billboard Radio, Album, and Sales Charts, and has sold out arenas and amphitheaters all over the world. They’ve garnered two Billboard Music Award Nominations and appeared on nearly every network television show including The Today Show, Good Morning America, Ellen, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and CBS’ Sunday Morning. Even as the pandemic raged NEEDTOBREATHE continued to expand its fanbase, as evidenced by their 2020 album release, Out of Body. Country: The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. Kenny Rogers’ rendition of “The Gambler” also peaked at number 16 on the Hot 100 and number 3 on the Adult Contemporary chart. That is to say, the song was generally popular, which was rare for a country-music tune back in those days. “The Gambler” also made an appearance on the UK Singles Chart and charted in four other countries, including New Zealand. “The Gambler” didn’t chart in the UK until 2007, almost 30 years after its initial release. Moreover “The Gambler” earned both Don Schiltz (Best Country Song) and Kenny Rogers (Record of the Year) Grammy Awards respectively, in 1978 and 1979. “The Gambler” also resulted in Kenny Rogers starring in a TV film entitled “Kenny Rogers as The Gambler” which was a top-rated television movie of 1980. It went on to spawn four sequels which ran until 1994. Roots Reggae: Three Little Birds (feat. Teni & Oxlade)Bob Marley & The Wailers. "Three Little Birds" is a song by Bob Marley and the Wailers. It is the fourth track on side two of their 1977 album Exodus and was released as a single in 1980. The song reached the Top 20 in the UK, peaking at number 17. It is one of Marley's most popular songs and has been covered by numerous other artists. The song is often thought to be named "Don't Worry About a Thing" or "Every Little Thing is Gonna Be Alright", because of the prominent and repeated use of these phrases in the chorus. Have a great Monday, take care and GOD bless...
