Songs that Defined my 15th Year - Part I

It's been a whole month and a day since my birthday. Heh. And since I don't have anything better to do (actually, I do, but I'm just too lazy to do it) I'm doing this. Songs that Defined My 15th Year. Heh. This will be chronological, btw. Just saying.

1. Heart Of The Matter - India.Arie
All the other songs before this one was just a fad. Fad Fad Fad. Anyway, my obsession with Sex and the CIty Movie started with this song. I first heard it and fell in love with it instantly. It's about forgiveness (which actually became a HUGE part of my Third Year. You know.), but it's about lovers (So it's still sorta off. Hey, can't be perfect all the time.). It shows the development (more of downhill roll) of that realtionship and how important love and forgiveness is to everyone.

My fave part (chorus, actually):

I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter;
But my will gets weak, and my thoughts seem to scatter,
But I think it's about forgiveness (forgiveness)
Even if (even if) you don't love me anymore.

2. Tranquilize - The Killers
Okay. So this is my first "hardcoar" emo song during that year. Hehe. Srsly. It's actually my introduction to what was going to be one of my fave bands for the year (The Killers), and, guess what, I got it from the Gucci Show (Haha!). To be honest I don't know what the message of the song is (hehe) but for some reason the lyrics, when I heard them, just clicked somehow with what I was feeling then, and next thing I knew it was my LSS.
 
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I'm a travel-man
But tonight, this engine's failing.

3. Gimme Gimme Gimme - Amanda Seyfriend and
Take a Chance on Me - Julie Walters (Mamma Mia! OST)
Okay, so, AbbaMania hit me and, well, the rest of my friends when we watched the movie version of Mamma Mia! This was my personal LSS, I don't know about the others. I swear, this was one fun LSS. Even sang Gimme Gimme Gimme in homeroom one time (Which was when my Bebot shirt was at stake. Hehe. Hi Plata :P). Haay. Talk about ABBAmania.
