Favorite Song:
This is "Fin" I Picked this song because it was the first one I heard from them and it's still my favorite one.
Personal Opinion:
I was recommended to a song of this band called "Fin" I was obsessed with this song for a long time, I heard it non-stop. When I finally got started to listen to other songs from the band i found some pretty good songs from them but even still "Fin" still stayed as my favorite. This is a christian song so the songs have very deep meaningful lyrics. They have pretty good songs to unwind and relax and they make everything seemed dramatic which is probably why it's used in a lot of compilations.
