2. Eric Church — Kill A Word

Must hear lyric: “I’d turn lies and hate to love and truth, If I could only kill a word”

There isn’t a song the world needs more right now than Eric Church’s “Kill A Word”.

2016 was a year where hate was the lead story way too many nights on the national news.

“Kill A Word” perfectly tells us the power that negative words hold.

Church couldn’t have said it better when he told Rolling Stone why he wanted to put out “Kill A Word” as a single.

"I would have regretted not putting out ‘Kill a Word,’ and let this season pass, not knowing if I would get a chance again where it was this relevant, this timely."
