Songs to use in shows

....I used the song We Believe performed by Newsboys....

Awesome, I've used that as well. I love it when guys go outside the "comfort zone" and script with meaning. Even if I don't get the same emotion out of it they might, it's still typically much better put together than most I see. Love it when guys/gals script with the heart.
 
I prefer music without lyrics for pyromusicals. I also work in the cinema industry so that's directed me towards music from movies quite a bit. I try to stick within some sort of theme every year
Here's what I've used the last 4 years

Demo show season is back! I need to start thinking about songs again.

The scratch list my kids and I came up with yesterday. Probably change 10 times in the next few weeks but have to start somewhere.

Sam Hunt - This Land is Your Land.
Sam Tinnesz - Play with Fire (and by lucky coincidence a local farm supply store has 25lb bags of powdered calf milk on sale).
8 Graves - Bury Me Low.
Brothers Osborne - It Ain't My Fault.

What are you groovin on?
 
Howard,
I've used this song 3 times, but with the song writer's (Paul Thorn) live version'
 
Here are the songs I used in my shows starting with 2014. I edit each song down for time using Audacity or Adobe Audition, with most running somewhere between 1:30 and 2:30 each. I haven't repeated a song yet, but one of these days I'm going to do a greatest hits show. Some of these I really want to see again (some with the same choreography, others with new).
