I spent most of Friday on the road heading out to see family. As I rode in the back and listened to my iPod I posted a series of tweets about my favorite songs of the year. I had fun trying to condense my thoughts down to only 140 characters. Enjoy the tweets and leave me some comments about your favorite songs of the year!
Love Lockdown- Kanye, keep your live performances of this track on lockdown (see SNL) but keep releasing these heart wrenching and intense songs. I’ll keep buying.
Shadow of the Day- Linkin Park gets all sentimental and balladesque. Great song and a good hook
Say- John Mayer says what he needs to say… now go get his “Where the Light Is” LP.
Lost!- Coldplay’s second appearence on the list. Check out Lost+ with Jay-Z. So good. Viva la Coldplay! 11:48 AM yesterday from mobile web
American Boy- Hey Estelle. English sista it’s really really nice to meet ya.
Better in Time- No need to wait. Leona was pretty great from the word go. The best breakup song of 08
Pork & Beans- Dance to a happy tune while Weezer tells their record comp to suck it. Red is the new Blue.
Pocketful of Sunshine- This earful of sunshine will most definately take you away. Nat Bedingfield is my guilty pleasure.
I’m Yours- Jason Mraz manages to out Jack Johnson Jack Johnson. Summer all year round with this track.
I Will Possess Your Heart- the album version is an 8 min plea from a stalker to his obsession. A slow burn about smoldering love.
Live Your Life- I have a bit of an audio crush on Rhianna right now. Turn this to 11 and just Live Your Life: Hey!!!! Ohhhh!!!
Paper Planes- All I wanna do (blam, blam, blam)is put this song on repeat (click) and thug out. (ching!)
Who’s Gonna Save My Soul- the eternal question gets the deep soul slow jam treatment from Gnarles Barkley.
Viva la Vida- Jerusalem bells toll for thee. A lonely king roams his former kingdom in search of meaning and an elusive legacy.
