My 50 fav songs of 2005

Nov 27, 2007
I'm posting this 'cause you didn't know me in '05-- because I'm gearing up for my '07 list and for the life of me, I do NOT know where my '06 list went.
*This does not necessarily mean THE BEST, or even that they were released in 2005. It does, however, mean they represent moments (and you know how I am about moments)-- of car singing, hot topic quasi-dancing, live shows, OC-watching, of phone calls from those who knew how much the songs meant to me. They are the best representations of my life, of Warped Tour, of my best times with best friends. In some cases, they even represent the worst times. Anyone in their right mind might want to forget that, but I appreciate those songs for capturing that bundle of feelings, and for the fact that I can crawl back into the song, re-experience it in a sense, and crawl back out knowing that I'm a better person for having lived through and learned from that experience. Without further ado, The Fifty:
1. Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
2. Truth Is - Over It
3. Landed - Ben Folds
