These were my favorite songs of the year. Again these are not songs released in 2008, just my favorites to listen to this past year. Three of the top 5 songs are very spiritual in nature. Between Baptism & Burial, Glory to the World, and I Heard it Sound are all odd little spiritual tunes. Not Christian spirituality, more of a modern earthly spirituality is present in all of these songs. Antarctica is one of the prettiest pop tunes I've heard. I hear it and I just want the sound to go on and on. Smile is simple electronic pop that is corny but wonderful. I have played this song to death this year.
