Genre – Indie Rock
Why? – “It’s a ‘pick up and go’ song that makes my head nod to the beat. Perfect to add some motivation to a video.”

Genre – Children’s
Why? “I’m a nostalgic kind of guy, and this song reminds me of my childhood on an Indiana farm where my days were spent chasing rats and field crows. Sausage.”
