US: Giants by Max Lucado
Giants. We must face them. Yet we need not face them alone. This profound look at the life of the biblical figure David digs deeply into the defeats he suffered, and the victories he won, as he faced the giants in his life. When David focused on God, giants tumbled. But when David focused on giants, he stumbled. Goliaths still roam in our world: Debt. Disaster. Dialysis. Divorce. Deceit. Disease. Depre ion. These super-sized challenges swagger and strut into our lives, pilfering our sleep, embezzling our peace, and ro ing us of our joy. And while these giants try to dominate our lives, we know what to do! We've learned what David learned, and we do what David did. We become God focused. We pick up five stones. We make five decisio . And we take a swing.

Canada: Are You Swimming In Her Pools? by Swan Lake
We can't tell you exactly how much we love Swan Lake. We love them so much that we felt it nece ary to give you this song just to make it clear. The group is the brain trust of Dan Bejar (Destroyer), Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes), and encer Krug (Wolf Parade). It's Krug who takes the lead vocal on this acoustic-led trip into the i er sanctum of what sounds like a fragmented heart and mind. It's a white-knuckle ride into the indie rock heart of darkne , but one decorated with bells and sweet, strangulated melodies.

UK: Human Thing by The Be Good Tanyas
Our free Single of the Week comes from the Be Good Tanyas, whose bluegra -tinged third album, Hello Love, makes for a beautiful, harmony-rich evening at home. "Human Thing" is the opening track on that album and it's a stu er. I tead of diving right into the band's su urnt Americana style, this track is a lugubrious dive into ethereal blues. It sways and shuffles and Frazey Ford's vocals do everything but walk right up to you and demand that you have an emotional meltdown.
