Now listen to Beato opinions in 15 minutes about top songs of 2024 :

As i said i like Beato because he is like an open book persona:

TOP 10 SONGS OF 2024??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKYswE7wj1c

He is way more patient than me with songs lyrics and music...

i want pure beauty and moving heart and total originality not just merely good professional work to listen casually ... I listen Bach casually not well done professional song ...

The song i put above of Gaelynn Lea is better on all counts than all these 24 list ( save Teddy Swims, and Billie Eilish with my honorable mention )...None of them moves me 1 inches , Gaelynn Lea peirced the heart...

I am not a good public...They all sound to me as manufactured product... Not Gaelynn Lea... Or Cosmo Sheldrake...Or "Rich men from Richmond" ..These three as for me true artists not performers in the quest  for a hit...

How about a protest song for the 2020s, folks

If Bob Dylan were 25 he might sound like this

Pleasant surprise ... I like it as much as " Rich men of Richmond"

Thanks...

Another interesting Beato video  who makes me think perhaps i am wrong and i did not understand well the era where i am living  as much as i thought i was:

The Death of Music Genres

@ghasley: By your use of the term "thumper" (short for Bible thumper of course), your view of Contemporary Christianity is clear.

T Bone's Southern California church is named The Vineyard, and in the 1970's and 80's it was a main church for musicians seeking to look into Christian spirituality. Lesley Phillips already had three albums out on the Myrrh Records (Phillips was the no. 2 best selling artist on the CC chart), the very well known CC label. T Bone produced her fourth---The Turning---a joint effort between Myrrh and Horizon Records, distributed by A & M.

Myrrh Records is as Contemporary Christian as you can get. From Christianity.com: "Burnett produced The Turning, Phillips' final album before leaving Contemporary Christian music to become an independent artist." Does that make T Bone a Bible thumper? No, but his new album is certainly a discussion of the topic we are speaking of.

Was Dylan's Slow Train Coming Bible thumping? Indeed it was! T Bone's involvement on The Rolling Thunder Review shortly preceded Dylan's "Christian period", and many believe it was T Bone who "led" Dylan to that exploration of Christianity. Burnett: "Probably about 15 people out of that Rolling Thunder Tour started going to church, or back to church." Doesn't seem like T Bone is adverse to being viewed as a Bible thumper.

Others so inclined are Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and more recently Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives (on their Saturday Night/Sunday Morning album. Well, half of it at least ).
