ok so i was bored and looking at my itunes and i looked up my most played songs. i realized that the top 20 were all songs that really reminded me of specific times or events. So since i have to stay up and wait for my laundry...i am going to write my top 20 songs of this year and explain what they meant to me. If it bores you dont read...its strictly for my own entertainment. Not all songs were songs from this year but just songs that i made memories with....

1.Cannonball.Damien Rice- this song reminds me of september...when nate and i first started hanging out again as friends...it was really hard...still is..but i remember driving in the car with him and it coming on...i changed it. "love it taught me to lie" "its not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball"

2.Tidalwave.Longwave- this reminds me of summer because for some reason i couldnt stop listening to it again. It reminds me of how i almost went to seattle..and i how i actually thought M and i after all these years might have some kind of sparks going on. It didnt happen. " i could see all the little things that could once make me whole" " take me down in a tidalwave"

3.Take Whats Mine.The Shore-this reminds me of march-april time..post finding out about nate having a girlfriend. I was started to talk to boys again..and it was scary. " I've been losing these days, cant feel you no more" "you never come round no more, cept to say goodbye"

4.Ballad of Big Nothing.Elliot Smith- either/or in general reminds me of my first trip to boston...cause i would fall asleep to it at night. So when i miss those memories i listen to this song...and i was anxious to go to boston again in may. " you can do what you want to there's no one to stop you"

5.The Blowers Daughter.Damien Rice- I'm actually surprised this wasnt number one played on my list. This song will forever epitomize my break up with nate. I would listen to it and fall asleep or cry..or both. I remember watching closer in my apt by myself sobbing. Also, while at a wedding this summer during the reception this song came on and nate was standing next to me. It was such a weird moment to think back to all those nights so upset about him..and here i was at a wedding hanging out with him while its playing. " No hero in her sky"

6. Marvelous Things.Eisley- this song is just so damn pretty...i love it. This reminds me of spring time. When i first started dating Ryan i was super into this album and it reminded me of all things new. " oh, marvelous things, they are giving me the creeps"

7. Singing Softly to Me.Kings of Convienance- this reminds me of aug/sept when i was reading tons just relaxing in my apt...super content and happy with life. "i want a puzzle with pieces missing"

8. Fix you.Coldplay- i dont care what anyone says this is a great song. It reminds me of june time...everything was in limbo and the lyrics were sad and uplifting at the same time. "when you love someone but it goes to waste"

9. A Fond Farewell.Elliot Smith-one of my favorite songs off of from a basement on a hill. It also reminds me of shit going on around the beginning of the year. " Disconnecting from the missing link, this is not my life"

10. Homeward.The Sundays- the first line pretty much says it all. " you've stolen my heart" break up song..haha.

11. Breath In.Frou Frou- this song reminds me of happiness...summertime...good vibes at work and maaneli. It also reminds me of getting up at the crack of dawn to walk the aids walk in june. Driving to UCI in maaneli's element listening to frou frou...and for some reason everything seemed just right. " I'm high enough from all the waiting, to ride the wave your inhaling"

12. Brighter Than Sunshine.Aqualung- i've said it before, and i will say it again...this song makes me get butterflies...its the most uplifting love song i have ever heard. It describes every feeling i ever want to feel. I cant wait for the day someone makes me feel the way this song does. " i didnt have the strength to fight, suddenly you seemed so right...what a feeling. "let the rain fall i dont care, im yours and suddenly your mine...and its brighter than sunshine"

13. Pilot.Notwist- again another album that reminds me of the first trip to boston...i love to fall asleep to notwist.

14. Pictures of Me.Elliot Smith- the lyrics are amazing..and it reminds me of tons of different events in the past few years. "so sick and tired of all these pictures of me..completely wrong, totally wrong."

15. Sunshine.Keane- this song actually reminds me of last christmas. It also reminds me of the first time nate tried to contact me after i wouldnt speak to him for some time. He texted me to tell me he was watching keane at coachella and this song was on and he thought of me. i erased the message. but looking back now it was a nice gesture. "only some dumb idiot would let you go"

16. Vapour Trail.Ride- this reminds me of driving far distances in the best moods ever ...just a beautiful day. it will always put me in a good mood. "First you look so strong, then you fade away. The sun will blind my eyes...i love you anyway"

17. Black and Blue.Chris Garneau- this reminds me of the begining of fall...the cold set in and it was time to wear sweaters and scarves..and i felt like everything was happening the way it should...it was a good feeling. For some reason..this song has been in my dreams like three times. "air conditioning is cold ,summers hot and love is sold...i wish that i was even smaller a lil creepy crawler"

18. I Turn My Camera On.Spoon- this reminds me of driving to LA with the girls doing the shoulder shrug dance i am so well known for. Just alot of fucking fun, being silly and dancing around all crazy.

19. Land Locked Blues.Bright Eyes- to be honest i was never ever a bright eyes fan. THen one night heather had an extra ticket to see bright eyes..so i went. I was truely impressed. This is definately around march that i listened to this song the most. This song reminds me of heather and our nights of wine, sad breakup stories. Her and i were going through break ups at the same time...we were definately each others crutches for some good time. "but it all boils down to one quotable phrase, if you love something give it away."

20. Nothing is good enough.Aimee Mann- i got this album when i was 19...its a good staple. Her lyrics are so relatable. This song reminds me of a cetain ex. "nothing is good enough for people like you, have to have someone take the fall" "critics could never critisize the way that you do"

so there it is....lots of sad songs i know. But i really only listen to my itunes late at night when i am reading or when i am getting ready in the morning...so i tend to like the more mellow moods.. im not always so sad...hahah i promise.
