Just thinking of songs that sum up 2020. Think I'd start with Lukas Grahams Redemption Song. Absolutely spot on . Brilliant lyrics.

With the leaders of all the devolved nations on a bit of a stance about a lot of things at the moment - "Don't back down" - Johnny Cash.
"Let's impeach the president" - Neil Young
or still on the politician trail - "take a chance on me" - Abba

I really should stop apologising for trying to be a Christian. but now, lately... "I am not alone" has helped keep me together, but also makes me shed a tear or two.. (there I go apologising again)
