The 2023 Jester One Music Top 20 Countdown - #9

 #9. Bush - Heavy Is The Ocean


Title: Heavy Is The Ocean
Artist: Bush
Album: The Art Of Survival


The fact that Bush keeps cranking out albums that rip pretty hard is really something to behold. It feels like every time they put something out, there's at least 1 track that is pretty solid, and I felt like The Art Of Survival would be the same based off of its lead single, "More Than Machines". What I ended up finding was one of my favorite albums of the year, with tracks like "Shark Bite", "Slow Me", "Judas Is A Riot". and our #9 song. "Heavy Is The Ocean" grinds and pushes forward, let by Gavin Rossdale's unmistakably sorrowful twang. It's a song I couldn't get out of my head the entire year, and feels like the first really big song of this year's Countdown.


Favorite line: "Heavy is the ocean. Steady all the ways. Heavy is the ocean. Cracked by we don't break."
