Songs #5-1
I generally tell people that this is one of my two favorite songs in the world. Written by Jerry Diaz, (AKA the closest thing i have to a boss) it's the reason i now live in Texas and have so many great friends all over the country. This song and its affect on me is proof that music truly is important, and that it can make a difference in someone's life.
#4 Wicked Twisted Road - Reckless Kelly
My favorite song by my favorite band. To be honest i have a hard time even finding the right words to use in regard to WTR. It's one of those rare songs that's vague enough to allow each listener to apply it to their own life, but still feels like it was written about somebody or something specific. Without a doubt it's Willy Braun's finest work as a songwriter.
#3 American Saint - Bleu Edmonson
I once referred to this song as "my generations Born to Run." I said that with the knowledge that Bleu is heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen, but I really believe that its true on many levels. "American Saint" always leaves me feeling a little desperate and rough around the edges. It's one of my favorite songs to play when i need a little motivation.
#2 Baby's Got A Whole Lot More - Reckless Kelly
RK's second appearance on this list comes in the form of a rather obscure song. Don't ask me to explain how this song wound up as my #2 song for 2009, but it did. I think it proabley has to do with the songs underlying theme of being road weary and wondering where home really is, which i most definitely understand.
#1 Already Gone - Sugarland
This was my theme song for the first half of 2009. I was getting ready to move from Arkansas to Texas, and the relocation wasn't easy on me, even though i knew it was a good thing for me. The whole idea of being "already gone" pretty much described my mindset for the last couple months i lived in Fayetteville.
That wraps up my late edtion of 2009's Top 10 songs. I can't wait to see what songs end up on top at the end of this year.
