Nominees are in!

It was quite an interesting month...there were a LOT of forum 'drive bys' which were annoying. There were also a lot of Buskers posting really good songs that couldn't be nominated because well they're buskers

However, I have no doubts that I have picked THE best songs of the month. Not only are they phenomenal songs, but I personally have listened to these songs about 100 times because I love them so!
So, without any further ado, these are the nominations for August song of the month:

Every Step- Kafla https://soundcloud.com/andrewcruse/every-step

Goodbye Bobby Sands- Mark Ryan

The BIG Slide- Nooms&Vasey https://soundcloud.com/noomsvasey/the-big-slide-3

The Girl With The Heart Balloon- Seriousfun&Benjo https://soundcloud.com/allan-kilgour/the-girl-with-the-heart-ballon

Alone- Alan Starkie https://soundcloud.com/alanstarkie/alone

Please please please get your votes in guys! PM me your winner! Voting closes on the 15th September and I will love you forever if you vote
