Sing In “This Year”
Credit for this song goes to Alice because otherwise we would be listening once again to the dour “The New Year” by Death Cab for Cutie which has the uplifting lyrics of “This is the new year/and I don’t feel any different” That may be true, but I’d rather sing “I’m gonna make it/through this year/if it kills me” Maybe that’s because I had a 2007 that leaned towards the shitty side (although getting to go to the Bahamas was pretty amazing) and 2008 has to be better. I don’t say that as a matter of odds; I say that as a matter of necessity. So for all of you struggling and worried and apprehensive about this rotation around the sun, here’s The Mountain Goats with “This Year” from their album “The Sunset Tree”. Enjoy and have a good 2008 and hopefully it won’t kill you to do so.
