Kicking off our top 30, we already say goodbye to the second song from Breathe. "There Will Come A Day" was pretty much always a bottom 10 contender, unfortunately for the four people who put this in their top 20. Ultimately, I think this song just kinda gets lost in the shuffle in a rankdown this strong. It has a very nondescript and vanilla arrangement that attempts to navigate the same AC/pop-leaning waters that would define her next album Cry, but ultimately it sounds kinda stuffy and dated compared to most of the better songs on Cry.
Still, this is a really good song! I certainly cannot blame those who would rank it highly! It has a very anthemic vibe to it that I love.

Faith's newest album is the unlucky one to lose its first song next. "Devil Callin' Me Back" has been criticized by some of you for being more of a Tim song than a Faith song. However, her vocals on this song are straight FIRE, even if they are mostly in the background The things she does with this song are otherworldly, and she honestly hits a couple notes that she hadn't hit at any prior point in her career (Like that "I've got to get me some, YEAH!" belt leading into the second chorus. That is an F#5!!!!) And it is WAY more of a Faith song than "Cowboy Lullaby", so I feel 100% justified in cutting that one so that DCMB could be included

I didnāt realize I ranked Devil Calling Me Back that high haha. Itās really good, but I may have put it a little too high. For being such a massive Faith fan, Iāll admit I never listened to The Rest of Our Life all the way through until this rankdown. I honestly lost all interest when both of the singles were so underwhelming. Looking back, why did they release what the two songs that they did? They totally botched the single selections on that one...

Oh, yea I should've known that one of the bonus songs from Faith would likely be out soon as well. Too bad because I think this is a great song and looking at my own ranking now I'm pretty sure I underranked it.

Unfortunately the next song to leave us is the bonus track from Faith, "Love Will Always Win". kamala 2024 truther predicted this would be a top 5 contender, and loses her #2 here, which she also told me put up a fierce fight for her #1, so she has got to be disappointed with this reveal :( I'm disappointed too. I really don't know why this song is not particularly well-liked on Pulse. This vocal is one of Faith's career bests. The nuanced power and control with which she tackles the chorus, plus the ad-libbed vocals in the outro of the song, are among my favorite moments of her entire career tbh. I think that the song's relative obscurity (it pretty much doesn't even exist anymore other than on low-quality YouTube videos) must factor against it pretty heavily. She really needs to make this available for purchase/streaming in the U.S.!!! (Also I hate to say it, but this song might have been tainted by Garth... Lmao I know how Pulse feels about him... Faith's version finds a new magic in the song that Garth and Trisha's didn't quite capture, but the damage to the song might have already been done... Lol!) Although honestly, this song making the album tracks rankdown at all proves that it is not outright hated or anything. There was a lot of competition on the Faith album, so for the bonus track to do this well is no small accomplishment!!!

It Matters To Me becomes our first album to be down to only 2 songs left!!!! This song has a very unique sound and energy to it that helps it to stand out in her catalog, but it is ultimately not one of her best-loved songs. ClevelandRox didn't get the memo though, and put it at #3!! No doubt a reveal made that much more painful for him by the fact that his #2 left tonight already with "Devil Callin' Me Back"...

ClevelandRox: Yep! Fireflies was our last album remaining intact without a loss yet, but it was only able to maintain that status for two reveals since the Faith album lost "Love Will Always Win" at #28. "I Want You" proved to be a REALLY polarizing song, with practically no ranks in the 20s except for kamala 2024 truther, and the other half of us putting it in our teens with the other half putting it in their 30s Personally I think this song is really catchy! I love the mysterious vibe of this song. For some reason the lyrics and arrangement complement each other perfectly, to the extent that I can literally feel the lion in the desert, the eagle in a canyon, etc. It's a very picturesque listening experience for me! And Faith's rarely-used head voice makes a very prominent appearance here too!

Iām a bit perplexed as to why āI Want Youā remains to be such a polarizing song, but to each their own. Just like the host mentioned I too love the vibe of this song and think the arrangement just all around works great.

Atleast it spent some time in the top ten. š It's been the album track I've went back to the most, and my most played Faith song this year. I love her ghost calls near the end of it!
