I will do the same thing than you did, especially it's my 4 years anniversary here, so maybe a 4 years restrospective lol; brilliant idea that I am totally stealing hahaha.
Listen, your best video this year, for me was the LOTR but it's because I have a soft spot for this, everything you and @hedac did this year, was better than last year.
Prod, music prod, singing, etc...Everything went up a level, and I think the same bout my stuff, so to mirror what you said, cheers to renewing our motivations and dreams, let's dream even bigger next year!
Oh my but you are not stealing anything but participating in the challenge and hope more people does. I explain it at the beginning, use #recap2021 and leave me a link in comments, I will stop by to read. I thought this is a good prompt not only to know each other but to be aware no year is uneventful. I totally thought mine were, then while writing it did not feel so and found it encouraging.
Aesthetically my fav video was Ode to Cynthia (not included in the post, as of course there were more videos)
But from the list here I personally would pick an original music over a cover because I feel a deeper connection if song is mine, so for me it is "Cold Winter" though lyrics wise the more fitting would be Longing to bloom.
And thank you, at least someone will use the challenge prompt, hope it encourages more. Come later and link it in the comments. Hashtag is #recap2021 🥳 happy new year and lots of ratty squeaks
