Songs that defined 2012.

Call Me Maybe- Carly Rae Jepsen
Why? Obviously it's a catchy song that WILL get stuck in your head whether you like it or not. Also, it was very popular on two of my favorite car rides. The first, my school trip to Washington D.C. with Laura, Samantha, Skylar, and Brooke. The second, a mini weekend trip down to Manteo, NC with Sammi Rhei. It reminds me of the Olympics too which is WONDERFUL.

Somebody That I Used to Know- Gotye
Why? Also relates to the two car rides mentioned above. I also heard it many many times to and from school every day of my Junior year.

We are Young- Fun.
Why? I hate to be redundant but this song also relates to the road trips. Sorry, those were just REALLY fun trips. Though I don't believe this was listened to that much on the D.C. trip. I could be wrong though.

What Makes You Beautiful- One Direction
Why? This song introduced me to One Direction. I'm not a huge fan of the band but this song is amazing. I know I say those^^ songs were part of the D.C. field trip but not like this one. THIS was like the theme song to the trip. Love love love it.

I Knew You Were Trouble- Taylor Swift
Why? I chose this live version because I think it really shows how much Taylor Swift has changed yet stayed the same. She has that fun "I don't care what the critics say" attitude that she had when she was 16 yet she has obviously grown up a lot. This performance is amazing and I just love this song so much.
I'll never change but I'll never stay the same- Taylor Swift

We are Never Ever Getting Back Together- Taylor Swift
 Why? Okay, I apologize for putting two Taylor Swift songs up here but there is no denying this is a defining 2012 song. EVERYONE knows it whether you want to. This song has been sung many times by me in school. I have annoyed class mates to no end with me random outbursts of Weeeee-EEEE! I will never ever stop loving this song. Like ever.


And there you have it! My year in songs :)
