BEST SONGS OF 2013 - NOW WITH LESS EFFORT!

Again - taking a very lazy approach to this process this year.  If I didn't hear it, or it didn't catch my attention, it's not on this list.  Usually I systematically try to give one listen to everything I have from 2013.  I have no interest in doing so this year.

So...here's the list of Brent's favorite songs from last year - without repeating any by the same artist:

 Enjoy!

1) Song For Zula - Phosphoescent

2) Step - Vampire Weekend

3) The Mother We Share - CHVRCHES

4) Say Something - A Great Big World (Featuring Christina Aguilar) - I saw this on VH1 at the end of they year, and I was obsessed with it.  I mostly like the straightforward performance by Christina Aguilar here, but I also just really like the song.
