2011 in music

as i reflect on 2011, i like to think about the year in terms of music in addition to the usual year in review list. there are always a few songs and lyrics that stick out and remind me of the year. here's my list for 2011:

+ingrid michaelson, are we there yet
"they say there's linings made of silver folded inside each rainy cloud
well i need someone to deliver our silver lining now.
and are we there yet?"

+mumford & sons, awake my soul
"in these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
where you invest your love, you invest your life."

+sara bareilles, the light
"and if you say it'll be alright
i'm gonna trust you babe, gonna look in your eyes
and if you say it'll be alright
i'll follow you into the light."

+avett brothers, i and love and you


what songs remind you of 2011?
