Best Thing I Heard Today: April 3, 2019
This morning this guy emailed the link to his video using our generic email address. It’s an awesome, more rock-focused, cover version of Lauren Daigle‘s hit song, “You Say.” Most of the unsolicited music we get submitted is just not good enough quality to share with our CCM fans…but this cover version & video just blew us away!
