Hands down it was Anthem Lights version of Do you hear what I hear?
Starts with all strings, builds nicely with a strong kick drum, fantastic vocals during the second chorus, and ends with all strings. One of the two songs I did not edit.
If you listen to it, I bet you use it next year. It's that good.
I also like the songs by Seabird. Good old Christmas classics, but the tune is different. You'll sing along because you know the songs, but you constantly be thinking, "That was cool!"
I spent probably 35 HOURS listening to music this year for the show. Seriously- I would spent 2-4 hours both Saturday and Sunday in Feb. and March looking for the music. For me, the music is the show. When I find something I love, sequencing is easy. I struggled in 2010 as I didn't live my music. I was committed to fixing that in 2011, and I think I was successful.
I have all my songs listed on my site, along with links to the iTunes downloads under my frequent questions section...
