Soundtrack to 2013

I haven’t posted much last year because most of the stuff that happened I couldn’t talk about in the public sphere.  Needless to say it was a hard, eye opening year, for many reasons, harder than was necessary (or fair!), but hey, if you’re not going through difficult times you’re not growing.

Here I am on the first day of a new year, with an arsenal of experience, behind on my studies for the impending exam, plenty of good reasons to fail it, but a strong desire not to!  And while I’m procrastinating briefly, I thought I’d post my soundtrack to 2013 because if I can’t write it in words, I can at least communicate in music!

1. The Wire – Haim

2.  Paper Romance – White Light Version – Groove Armada

3.  The Day the World Went Away – Nine Inch Nails

4.  Dirty Epic – Underworld.  I know, if you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that this on there every year!

5.  Oh Sailor – feat. the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Youth Chorale – Mr Littlejeans

6.  I Wont Back Down – Tom Petty

7.   Hey Now – London Grammar

8.  What the Water Gave Me – Florence and the Machine

9.  Shadows (feat Alex Mills)

10.  F For You – Disclosure

That soundtrack sums up my year nicely.  What are your theme songs for 2013?
