Well, hello. I’m still testing this.

Joy to the World (4K+C)
My eleventh track for "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. is a classic which has been covered and rearranged hundreds of times over the centuries. I chose For King and Country because I like their calm, clear, unexaggerated voices and I feel they approach it with proper reverence and respect. I do enjoy almost every other rendition of Joy to the World I've ever heard in public; it's the kind of timeless spiritual carol which is a relief to the ears in between Santa Baby and Rocking Around the Christmas Tree. I always marvel at the tenuous balance between spirituality and secularism, which dual spectacularly with each other during the holiday season.

Now, I'll have to admit this Joy to the World does bear the "softly bombastic" stylistic fingerprint of 4K+C specifically and contemporary Christian music generally, but perhaps that's a good thing. I generally prefer songs with styles and voices I recognize to material from "out of the blue." Knowing the artist gave me something to go on so I knew I would be less likely to waste my limited music time listening to versions I might not like. As I said, I'm fussy. The audio boundary is a line I take great care to draw, because my default environment is usually quiet.

At any rate, enjoy *Smile*
