#12 -- Best Songs of 2008

Bruises by Chairlift

The iPod has changed music more than anyone will give it credit... I think you have to go back to the turn table or radio to find a device that has revolutionized music as much. The iPod allows us to create our own sound track to life, to completely detach ourselves from society, and live in our own world playing whatever song we want, where ever we want and whenever we want. I'm not sure this is a good thing, but it's changed how we listen to music. The iPod has further killed the album and made the playlist the 21st century mixtape... but only to one's own life.

And Apple has really good commercials featuring really attractive songs.

This song is no different. A nice beat, kick ass hook, the lead vocalist voice is pretty, the song sounds big and airy, expanding beyond Earth and space and everything...

It's funny, but what sort of ruins this song is the male vocalist towards the end. Why change up a good thing about a silly love song? Who doesn't love the "For yooouuuuuuuuooooo... so black and bluuuuuuueeee... for yooouuuuuuuuoooooo"?

After seeing a commercials like this, who doesn't want an iPod?
