Year's End Review
So 2006 is almost over. I’m actually sorry to see it go. It was a pretty momentous year for me! But rather than go off on some long rambly monologue about everything that would be far too personal to post and rather boring for everyone but me, I thought I would put together a “soundtrack” for 2006. These are the songs that I listened to without end during 2006, the ones that will always remind me of a specific time this year and/or just fit my life… all too well. I really didn’t put an explanation as to why each of these make the list, but I can.
This is somewhat in chronological order. Songs I was listening to earlier in the year are at the top. Songs I was listening to this month are at the end. (Yes, “From Such Great Heights” is listed twice. It’s the same song, but, since the two songs are by different artists, there’s a different vibe and therefore there are different reasons for them making this list.)
1. Across The Universe ~ The Beatles (The Beatles Anthology 2)
2. Better Days ~ Goo Good Dolls
3. Two Days In February ~ Goo Goo Dolls
4. Such Great Heights ~ Iron And Wine (Garden State soundtrack)
5. While My Guitar Gently Weeps ~ The Beatles (The Beatles Anthology 3)
6. Bang! Bang! ~ Dizzy Gillespie
7. Body & Soul ~ Billie Holiday
8. Cry Baby Cry ~ The Beatles (The Beatles Anthology 3)

12. Walk Away ~ Kelly Clarkson
13. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da ~ The Beatles (The Beatles Anthology 3)
14. I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You ~ Colin Hay (Garden State soundtrack)
15. All Things Must Past ~ The Beatles (The Beatles Anthology 3)
16. Julia ~ The Beatles (The Beatles Anthology 3)
17. Crazy ~ Gnarly Barkley
18. Put Your Records On ~ Corinne Bailey Ray
