Well folks, we're nearing the end. Not long now until the final entry on February 19th, 2025. The last major theme to close us out revolves around the Passing of Time. If the first few months of this project were tough, they're actually a cakewalk compared to what we're about to go through. We're getting old and life perspectives are changing as they should - AKA we're closer to dying than when we were born. Some of these songs represent the heaviest weights that we've carried since knowing them. Some are as recent as 2023 and 2024, but I know in my heart of hearts that even if they came out in 1989 they would have made this list - they are that profound to me.
So if you're an artist that made this project from here on out you should feel humble and proud...you achieved what you set out to do...make music that people feel and love...thank you.
This song is on here because of what 2010 means to me personally and the fact that Google used it for their Zeitgeist 2010 video. I had never heard it before seeing that and so it became synonymous with my life events in 2010.
Although this is the tagline at the end of the video:
and just like that 2010 flew by in an instant
It didn't for me...time stood still...
More to come tomorrow; February 9th, 2025...
Shannon’s Perspective:
Hopelessly I'm taking a mental picture of you now
Not really much for me to say tonight.
Good Life OneRepublic
Woke up in London yesterday Found myself in the city, near Picadilly Don't really know how I got here I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know Address to places like Abbey Road Day turns to night Night turns to whatever we want We're young enough to say
Oh, this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight Like this city is on fire tonight This could really be a good life A good, good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
To my friends in New York, I say hello My friends in L.A. they don't know Where I've been for the past few years or so Paris to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now We all got our stories but please, tell me What there's to complain about
When you're happy like a fool Let it take you over When everything is out You gotta take it in
Oh, this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight Like this city is on fire tonight This could really be a good life A good, good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, good, good life Oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hopelessly I feel like there might be something that I'll miss Hopelessly I feel like the window closes oh so quick Hopelessly I'm taking a mental picture of you now 'Cause hopelessly the hope is we have so much to feel good about
Oh, this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight Like this city is on fire tonight This could really be a good life A good, good life Oh, yeah Good, good life Good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Listen To my friends in New York, I say hello My friends in L.A. they don't know Where I've been for the past few years or so Paris to China to Colorado Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now We all got our stories but please, tell me What there's to complain about
