Best Songs Of The First Half Of 2009 (5 Songs I Am Into Right Now)

Silversun Pickups- Surrounded (And Spiraling)

“Surrounded.

Let's romanticize our beloved memories

Surrounded

Let's demonize our softest injuries

Surrounded

Can we get behind distortion and liberties

Surrounded

We're surrounded, spiraling”

At first I wasn’t crazy about the latest Silversun Pickups record, Swoon. After I gave it another chance, I realized I was wrong. This song actually has the sounds of both where the band came from as well as where they are going with their own sound.

Metric- Satellite Mind

“coming home 'cause i want to

hang out with the starlet

stare up at the ceiling

preview of a screening

flashback of a feeling

sick sense of a calling

heard you fuck through the wall

I heard you fuck when I'm bored”

This song seems to grow on my more every time I hear it. Fantasies may be my favorite record of the year so far, as I have mentioned before. This tack is oozing with everything that is Metric, its rocking and its sexy as hell.

White Rabbits- Percussion Gun

“All your time

well crawl dignifed

And now it seems to be cut & dry

So I know which way to run

You're tired my love

I feel the same”

This song isn’t as much about the lyrics but I had to keep this posting uniform. This song is based completely on the drums. The drums are easily the most catchy part of the song making this the catchiest tune of the year (by far).

The Horrors- Sea Within A Sea

“Marching to the sea
their dreams stay in the shadows

their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows

See the scraping sky

See my destination there tonight”

This song isn’t much about they lyrics either. Frankly, I lot of the time you can’t even understand what the hell Faris Rotter is even saying. This song is like two really good dance tracks in one.

Yeah Yeah Yeah’s- Heads Will Roll

"Dripping with alchemy

shiver stop shivering

The glitter's all wet

You're all chrome
The men cry out

The Girls cry out

The men cry out

Oh no”

I’ve never been a huge YYY’s fan, but they made this song just at the right time. I have been on an electric/dance kick as you have seen lately. This is certainly one of the better songs to fit that category this year.
