Song 30: Your favourite song this time last year.
Take a Picture, by Filter.

Easy song to pick, I was obsessed with this song for a long time. I started listening to it for mildly nostalgic reasons, this was "one of those songs you know but don't know the name of" to me, the riff and the singer's soft "I feel like a newborn" in the chorus was fairly popular in movies and TV when I was younger, at least it seemed to be. When I got over the nostalgia value, I noticed just how beautiful the song is. I've talked about perfect songs before, and to me, this is one of them.

It's rather bizarre that I love this song so much. I usually like music for it's lyrical content over the music, but the lyrics don't resonate with me much at all. It's about the lead singer getting drunk on a plane (awake on my airplane) and taking off all his clothes (my skin is bare) while people took photos (my skin is theirs / take a picture), and apparently his dad was disappointed (hey dad what do you think about your son now?). I find the way he sings it in combination with the accoustic guitar just amazing, it's so smooth and articulated and it just captures me.
