our year in song: the 2012 playlist

For the last several years Blake and I have put together a playlist of songs that sort of represents our year -- songs that over a twelve month period we either fell in love with or that exemplify the experiences we shared as a family. We work on it throughout the year and finalize it around Christmastime. It's fun to listen to and look back (both with fondness and distress) on our adventures, trials, and joys. We just wrapped up the 2012 playlist, and I thought that YouTube and I would share it here to give you a little peek into our year in song. (I could go into lengthy detail about why each song was chosen, but I think I'll leave that to your imaginations.)

1. This Too Shall Pass - OK Go
2. My Mathematical Mind - Spoon
3. Analyse - The Cranberries
4. Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men
5. Gitchee Gitchee Goo - Phineas and the Ferbtones
6. Lost in My Mind - The Head and the Heart
7. Popcorn - The Swedish Chef
8. Man or Muppet - The Muppets
9. Soon We'll Be Found - Sia
10. Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye
11. Simple Song - The Shins
12. Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day - Bowling for Soup
13. Perry the Platypus Theme - Phineas and Ferb
14. Thieves - She and Him
15. Ghosts - The Head and the Heart
16. Golden Eyelids - Lost in the Trees
17. Cold Wind - Arcade Fire
