Songs of the Year

Since it's the end of the year, I thought it was about time to start a list of my top songs for the year, the ones I really fell in love with. Since I fall in love with songs every day, this could be quite a list, but I'm going to try to keep it to the ones that have continued to work for me - these are winners, folks. If you haven't checked them out yet, please do so immediately. (Note: these songs did not necessarily come out this year - I just discovered them this year.)
