Your Top Songs of 2022

[GinAg (39)]

I feel like most ppl can't be arsed to do a countdown topic, so just pop them in here.

 

[Funky]

I did a playlist. I do a list every year as my cousins and mates demand it now - they’ve never heard of most of the artists and they use it as a way to explore new music

Moopy won’t find this list obscure though.

[octophone]

"Move him onto his side —
Give him dignity, give him some warmth
Which he’d possibly not received of late
I’m not a mate as such
I just used to see him around and about
And I could never work out if he was heading
For a food bank or a pharmacy
A field path or indecency
Either way, he’s out of it now

Onwards, then, to the Leasowe light
Along Lingham Lane and out of sight
Away from the obvious and the asinine
The soundbites and the party line
Escape from Telepudlian Paul
Around about now regaling all
With his ‘Did you see the match?’
And his flat back four
He’s a Super Sunday super bore
Escape up onto Caldy Hill
The spirit of Olaf, and if you will
Stand still, wait, sudden breeze
Clouds part, showtime

And now I’m in Paradise
Or that’s how it seems
When Spring has sprung upon this Oblong of Dreams"

 

[octophone]

"Just up ahead, gophers run through a meadow
Deer graze, birds sing
Her future is waiting, right there for the taking
There's just one thing..."

 

[octophone]

"Our clothes are like an anthem for sorrow
The words we use are like future ghosts
And our lives too will fall apart like this moment
Gone like the birthday cards on the windowsill
Brief as the pale light on the bedroom walls"

 

[octophone]

It's been more of an "experimental soundscape" year than a song year for me. Also, quite a few albums that work best as a complete programme.
