New Year Tunes

Written By: Sean on January 1, 2010 No Comment

Well, we seem to have made it to 2010. Amazing! Now if only we can make it past 2012…

I thought I might put together a little collection of songs that reflect the feelings a new year often brings up. Excitement, anticipation, sadness, regret, confusion. Songs that just…feel right. Not sure if there’s any rhyme or reason really, so if they make sense to you you’re probably as emotionally scrambled as I am. Hope you enjoy them, either way.

Jeff Buckley – New Year’s Prayer

Patrick Wolf – Eulogy

Galaxie 500 – Another Day

Charlotte Hatherley – It Isn’t Over

Phoenix – Lisztomania

Digitalism – Taken Away

Pete Shelley – Yesterday’s Not Here

Tom Petty – Free Fallin’

Sharleen Spiteri – All The Times I Cried

ABBA – Move On

Semisonic – Closing Time

Nina Gordon – New Year’s Eve
