So, here we are!! These are my 5 favourite singles of 2008 - 5-3 first!
05. OneRepublic - SAY (ALL I NEED)
"Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best and
Your best look
You're praying that you make it"
Love at first sight. And prays for it to become a single at the second sight, lol. This is by far my favourite song of OneRepublic's debut album, and although the video doesn't make it much justice, it's still a great single. Sadly, it wasn't the hit it deserved to be on the official charts out there. But its combo beautiful lyrics + emotional beats made it huge on my personal charts.
04. Alanis Morissette - UNDERNEATH
"There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath"
This song is simply magnificent - and I didn't feel this passionate about an Alanis song since 'Hands Clean' back in 2002! That's got to mean something, and as a result, it became my 4th favourite single of last year. The atmosphere and the lyrics of the song + lovely video take us back to the good old Alanis from the 90's, and God, I missed that!
03. Lifehouse - BROKEN
"The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life"
'Whatever It Takes' would have landed on the Top 10 in 2007, but since it charted late in the year, it only managed to be #21... 'Broken', however, had a full year, and here it is! I still wonder why they took so long to release it as an official single, considering it was featured on Grey's Anatomy earlier last year, but oh well, at least they did, it would be a crime not to release 'Broken'!. The new version of the song used for the video makes it no favours, but the video itself is brilliant and the original song is still a piece of Heaven.
