My 50 favorite songs of 2007

First off, I forgot to post this like, a month ago and someone just reminded me. *This does not necessarily mean THE BEST, or even that they were released in 2007. It does, however, mean they represent moments– of car singing, chair-dancing, live shows, Gossip Girl-watching, bad-day headphone blasting, break ups, bdays and so on. They are the best representations of my life, of Warped Tour, of my best times with best friends. In some cases, they even represent the worst times. I appreciate those songs for capturing that bundle of feelings, and for the fact that I can crawl back into the song, re-experience it in a sense, and crawl back out knowing that I’m a better person for having lived through and learned from that experience. Without further ado, The Fifty:
