Songs For Another Year

So, after a few months of planning and arranging, I am pleased to announce the songs that summed up 2007.

The Future Freaks Me Out—Motion City Soundtrack
(I don't know where to begin. I don't know where to begin.)

Fire and Rain—James Taylor
(Won't you look down upon me Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand. You've just got to see me through another day.)

Back To You—John Mayer
(Doesn't it scare you. Your will is not as strong, as it use to be.)

Goodnight and Go—Imogen Heap
(We'd be good, we'd be great together.)

Ten Minutes—The Get Up Kids
(I've been home all summer. Now I'm leaving you alone.)

I’m Losing You—Colin James
(Here in the valley of indecision, I don't know what to do. I feel you slipping away.)

Work—Jimmy Eat World
(Can't say I was never wrong, but some blame rests on you.)

Be My Escape—Relient K
(I've been dying to get out, and that might be the death of me.)

Out Of Reach—The Get Up Kids
(Out of sight, out of mind, out of reach. Start over.)

Losing My Religion—REM
(Consider this, consider this the hint of the century.)

Brand New Low—Treble Charger
(Cause I've lost all my self control.)

For No One—The Beatles
(She says that long ago she knew someone, but now he's gone. She doesn't need him.)

Motown Never Sounded So Good—Less Than Jake
(Do you remember when we had all the answers?)

Tired Of Waiting—The Trews
(Everything is changing. I'm the same and aging.)

Newport Living—Cute Is What We Aim For
(Everyone's a let down it just depends on how far down they can go.)

The World You Love—Jimmy Eat World
(I'm looking for a nice way to say I'm out. I want out.)

Slip Sliding Away—Paul Simon
(Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact, we're slip sliding away.)

She Says What She Means—Sloan
(When she says that I'm mean, does she mean what she says?)

Swing Life Away—Rise Against
(Are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?)

In My Life—The Beatles
(And these memories lose their meaning, when I think of love as something new.)

Check out last year's contribution.

I am really happy with the final outcome of my CD. I am hoping no one kills themselves after listening to my overly emo compilation.

Thanks to everyone who helped influence the music selections. Here's hoping for a cheerier CD next year.
