Don’t Fight It comes across as a rare song; the song, whilst beautiful and uplifting, manages to come across the same way when analysed. The song is essentially about ‘going with the flow’ and letting things take their toll. But it is written with such honesty and sung with great honesty too. The listener actually shows sympathy towards the singer for what it seems that they are going through.
Don’t Fight It doesn’t feature any fancy tricks or technological wizardry in the composition of the song, but instead is written with such dedication that you almost forget you’re listening to a 4 piece band instead of the musical entity that you may be fooled into thinking you’re listening to. The band has not had much more success outside of this one song (so far), but frankly, if this was the only song that they ever released, it would not bother me. Only because The Panics have managed to make their mark on the world of Australian music by leaving us with a song of such beauty and such greatness.
After discovering a similar blog like this on the net, and realising that I disagreed with most of the songs chosen*, I thought I should perhaps go one better and make my own. Anyway, these are, in my opinion, the 100 best songs from 2000 to 2009.
After narrowing down to a list of over 4000 songs, I followed 2 main rules when compliling this list in the hopes of narrowing it down further:
1. Only one song per artist.
2. No cover versions were allowed.
Thanks for reading, and stand by each day as I count down one song per day for 100 days.
*That is not an attack on the original blog, I have discovered and rediscovered many great songs featured there.
