On the right hand side of my columns, I saw a "Count" column, indicating which songs in my iTunes Library were played the most often. What better fun, I thought to myself, would it be than to change this snowy day into a ray of informational sunlight? I clicked to sort which songs I played the most, and the results were somewhat surprising to even me.
Since I know you're all so excited to know the results, I was going to really keep the suspense going in complete Ryan Seacrest style, but I'm just not nearly that patient of a person...another character flaw that I like to see as a major plus. The results are in and here are the Top 10 Most Popular Songs played by Kasey during the year of 2009. (Drumroll please.....)
10. You Got Me by Colbie Caillat. This is impressive, given the fact I hadn't gotten her new CD until just before Thanksgiving. Clearly all variables aren't calculated into this equation.
9. Listen by Beyonce Knowles. This is an attitude song, gave me the *umph* I needed in a lot of my days, when I needed that black-woman "no you di'nt" frame of mind to get my stuff done.
8. Beautiful by....Ummm...Well, I'll just say it's the radio edit version. It's an inspiring song to me about walking in other people's shoes and never letting someone say you aren't beautiful because they don't know what you've been through)
7. Better in Time by Leona Lewis. I LOVE this woman's voice, it's pure and passionate and her songs often are the written thoughts of my own heart.
6. Anytime by Kelly Clarkson. I was a little bit surprised by this one because I didn't think I listened that much to this song. Possibly happened when I had a certain playlist on repeat and left for the day. However, I do love the lyrics to this song and I do maintain that it is one of her better vocals.
5. I Need A Savior by Among the Thirsty. The title pretty much says it all. It's fair to say I've played this song quite a few times. It's a great one to reflect on and it's the plain and simple truth of my life.
4. Laughing With by Regina Spektor. I first heard this song performed by her on David Letterman (before he got weird) and I couldn't quite understand what she was saying. The next morning I did a little YouTube search on the song and fell in love with it. A great song with plays on words on how many people laugh at God and the thought of God until they NEED God.
3. Music of the Night by David Cook. Stop judging me. Not only is this one of the greatest songs written of all time, but performed by American Idol winner David Cook, who just so happens to be incredibly easy on the eyes as well. Every lyric and word is not only enchanting but also full of passion (is there a pattern here?) and life and just plain ol' mmmm. I can close my eyes and he's singing it in my ear. Again, stop judging me.
2. Gira Con Mi by Josh Groban. Speaks for itself. Josh Groban, um hello! Singing in Italian, um hello! Singing about love and the moon and....love, um hello! It's all good, my friends. ALLLL good. Every once in awhile, I take a moment post-listen to ask for forgiveness.
AND THE #1 MOST LISTENED TO SONG BY KASEY IN 2009 IS...........
1. Prodigal by Casting Crowns. Practically a self-written song about my life, asking "Daddy" to take me back again after failing. This song topped the Josh Groban song by nearly 40 plays.
So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen (all 2 of you who actually read my blogs when I write). I encourage you all to make a playlist of your own with these songs on them. Listen to them slowly and closely and over and over again and you will subtly and somewhat profoundly get a slight insight into the life I lived in 2009.
