Music is what feelings sound like.
I was looking at my itunes library which holds almost 6,000 songs, most of which I have acquired in the last 5 years and it reinforced what I have always known, that I breathe music like air, that for me the gift of a newly discovered song is one of the best gifts you can give or receive and for me, I look to music to supplement what I don't get from life otherwise. I turn to music to give me feelings of euphoria, to allow me to feel infinite and complete. That being said, sometimes I listen to songs because they remind me of someone or something or because I just want to dance. I've been reading articles on the "song of the decade" (mr. brightside, crazy, crazy in love etc) so i decided to compile my top 15 songs of the decade. it turned out to be a lot more challenging than i thought, but i tried to pick ones that weren't just phases; ones that had a significant and lasting impact on my life. and so, my top 15 songs of 2000-2009 are:
absolutely (story of a girl)-nine days (2000)
oops i did it again-britney spears (2000)
lose yourself-eminem (2002)
the world's greatest-r kelly (2003)
collide-howie day (2004)
you're beautiful-james blunt (2004)
somebody told me-the killers (2004)
stronger-kanye west (2005)
how to save a life-the fray (2005)
chasing cars-snow patrol (2006)
paper planes-m.i.a. (2007)
the way i am-ingrid michaelson (2007)
just dance-lady gaga (2008)
i'm yours-jason mraz (2008)
party in the usa-miley cyrus (2009)
