Songs Shea would love

• fionmul +2 — Assuming she doesn't already know this, this is both musically and lyrically perf. (Shea is this u??)
• Joseph Harvey +1 — Thanks Brad, this was great
• Regina Scime +1
• judd.baker +1
• Edward James +1 — The Arcadian Wild are quintessential Shea music to me.
• Claire 0 — Combo of vaguely spiritual lyrics and indie folk pop vibes—feels almost too on the nose so it didn’t make my podium though I considered it
• shea nowicki 0 — Lyrics, vibe, even the album cover art... all of it felt immensely right. I wish I had more votes!!!

fionmul: Shea is in her window seat weeping as the NY skyline sparkles in the night sky.

• Spicey Riche +2
• Claire +1 — Trying not to let myself be unduly swayed by the comment, but I do see the vision here
• Regina Scime +1
• judd.baker +1 — Props for outside the box interpretation
• fionmul 0 — idk if y'all knew of Shea's love for NY. She also likes S&G. This live version is so special. Also I just have to say, my aunt Lorraine was at this concert (possibly also my Uncle Henry and Aunt Rosemary).
• shea nowicki 0 — HAHA, I love this. I love NY (the land of milk and honey IRL) and Simon and Garfunkel are my faves so the live version was 100/10. Stellar submission.
• Edward James 0 — Beautiful. Maybe my number five.

• ared56 +1
• Joseph Harvey +1 — The other tearjerker on here. No idea if Shea likes country, but this works for me
• Claire +1 — I liked this, and more importantly I’d imagine Shea would, musically and lyrically (and I’m not just saying that bc I also submitted a song about a family member dying)
• shea nowicki +1 — The only song I'd heard before and I think the one that mastered my sound best. This song gets me dancing no matter what and would honestly probably be the soundtrack for the montage of my junior year at Benedictine 🥹 very good mems!
• Regina Scime +1
• Edward James +1 — Every time I hear Zach Bryan, I realize more that he’s actually a real artist. I feel like Shea would love this, can’t confirm, but I feel it.
• fionmul 0 — I think she probably already knows this but I do think this is a good ZB pick for Shea. I don't think it's her submission though. I think ZB is adjacent of "Shea would love" territory.
• judd.baker 0 — My favorite of this list by far, and I think Shea would probably dig
• Spicey Riche -1

• SamRobertsND +3 — This got me at 6:15AM on the way to work--why would you do this to me, Peter? This is such a good album, Alison Krauss is one of the best to ever do it.
• ared56 +1
• Joseph Harvey +1 — This is heartbreaking and gorgeous. Definitely teared up. I really hope Shea likes this.
• fionmul 0 — Moses vibes? Wasn't feeling this overall
• Edward James 0 — Pleasant
• shea nowicki -1 — The lyrics to this are beautiful! I really appreciate a Moses reference... poses the question why we don't have more songs about various moments in the Pentateuch?! ... The whole spiritual maternity theme, entrustment to the Heart of God... I think this gets to my spirituality/ministerial dream best of everything on the list. I feel so seen; thank you!! I've long been trepidatious about this round because I don't want to have to downvote anything!!! In the end, only downvoting this because of its sound not being my most fave. But please don't perceive it as a dislike of the song in the slightest; I'm so grateful you submitted it and so excited to pray more with it!!!
• Regina Scime -1

• SamRobertsND +1 — Man I really loved this one. Of the explicitly religious songs, this is the best
• shea nowicki +1 — This is SO fun and I love a St. Francis reference. I especially loved the bridge ("You're everything," yes yes)!!! Brother Moon is IN this summer... you all heard it here first.
• Peter Seeley +1 — Musically interesting.
• fionmul 0 — Lyrically this is good; Franciscan and faith filled which is not particular to Shea but I can see this touching her and her liking the repetition at the end. Ultimately not strong enough in this lineup.
• Claire 0 — Notwithstanding the fact that I myself have submitted a song by this artist—I just did not like this very much. But maybe Shea will?
• Edward James 0 — I know this makes me a bad person but this is a bit too earnest for me

• ared56 +1
• shea nowicki +1 — This one had me dancing all the way through... it feels like the opening song of a really good, feel-good movie. Adding to all my playlists!!
• Regina Scime +1
• fionmul 0 — This is cool but it isn't strong enough in this batch
• Edward James 0 — Absolute Juddslop (positive)

• Claire +1 — Alexcore but perhaps at the intersection of Sheacore and Alexcore
• shea nowicki +1 — Oh yeah... this is the stuff. Vibed the whole way through. Great pull!!!
• Edward James +1 — Alex is the only one who understands Shea-core. This is spiritually aligned with Astrovan and prior Shea bangers.
• fionmul 0 — Musically this is a cute one but idk if she would find the lyrics impressive enough with this competition
• SamRobertsND 0 — Get a new artist besides the same 5 mid string bands you post, Alex
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Cute

Regina Scime: “I want to dance with the saints and angels”🥹

• fionmul +1 — Can defs see her liking this and praying with it, especially the twist (it's not a race. you're free!). And I find it pleasant melodically. This is a more surface level/stereotypical Shea category but an intentional pick within that.
• Joseph Harvey +1 — This kind of music is not for me. But I have a feeling Shea would like.
• Peter Seeley +1 — I don't like the style but the singers voice is actually quite good.
• SamRobertsND 0 — Sorry, Fiona, not gonna cut it. Ironic: you have longed for this round more than most, yet you post dreck in main. Do better.
• shea nowicki 0 — OH wow, so beautiful! There's no fear in love! Need to pray more with these lyrics immediately!!! So grateful you submitted this!
• Edward James 0 — FOCUS….album? 🤨

• Peter Seeley +2
• Spicey Riche +2
• ared56 +1
• SamRobertsND 0 — Shea strikes me as a Napoleon Dynamite enjoyer, Eddie, so she's probably heard this before.
• shea nowicki 0 — Cry!! This song is very tender. Evidences the beauty of friendship and makes me think of all of you and countless others with great gratitude. "Great is my inheritance" remains the prayer of my life!
• fionmul -1 — There are a couple I think she may have heard before but this seems like the one that is most commonly known and least likely to be her submission. And I find it the laziest submission for that reason (Darcy's Donkey was also on my chopping block I will say)
• Joseph Harvey -1 — Sorry I just don’t like this at all. Perhaps I’m getting too tripped up on my own tastes
• Claire -1 — There’s no way she doesn’t know this one
• judd.baker -1 — I can’t imagine that Shea has never heard this song before, and it also seems extremely generic

• judd.baker +1
• Edward James +1 — I like it. I imagine Shea will like it. Can’t exactly explain why.
• fionmul 0 — This is vocally a Lizzy lookalike or maybe Phoebe Bridgers. This song is cool and I am interested to hear what Shea thinks
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Surprisingly heavy! Sick
• shea nowicki 0 — This felt like a really cool mix of Gracie Abrams/Lizzy McAlpine/Olivia Rodrigo... my melancholic side vibed!!! Additionally, I'm OBSESSED with Abby's vibe (I wasn't familiar with her until listening to this song, but can confirm have done a deep dive of her Instagram now hahaha)
• Peter Seeley -1 — I'm not ok either

• judd.baker +1 — Apparently the popular interpretation of Sheacore is “agonizingly nostalgic”
• fionmul 0 — Not hitting me as a Shea vibe enough for a vote, but I like the voice and instrumental. I think I will check this guy out!
• Joseph Harvey 0 — I enjoyed this!
• Claire 0 — This was pleasant
• shea nowicki 0 — I really enjoyed this, most especially the softness of the sound and slight country twang! Adding to my playlists immediately!
• Peter Seeley 0 — Mmagurpyh mmmfllyh phma hmmm???🤬🤬🤬🤬
• Edward James 0 — Idk on this one. Not doubting it necessarily, literally IDK

• Claire +1 — 10/10 would listen to this at an Irish pub with Shea
• fionmul 0 — This is fun but I find it more like a song everyone in the chat would find fun and amusing vs Shea specifically
• Joseph Harvey 0 — I don’t think of Shea’s music as overly Irish
• shea nowicki 0 — Thank you for submitting this - there's no way you would have known this, but my beloved Irish grandma passed away in January and this song is 1000% her vibe. Brings me right back to the St. Patrick's Day parties of my youth... literally the best day of the whole year. Adding to my March 17th playlist for next year hehe.
• Edward James 0 — Fun but not in the top

• fionmul +1 — Shea and I were both praying and talking about fragrance during Holy Week <3 She may know this or this may be her? Or maybe neither. But I think she would like this.
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Other P&W here seems more Shea specific to me
• judd.baker 0 — Overtly religious feels like too easy for this round and I also immensely disliked this for some reason
• ared56 -1
• SamRobertsND -1
• Edward James -1 — Uninspired, sorry
