Is it just me or are there really so many “aware” songs out there in

the past few years… And so many good ones at that too.

From self-aware songs:

• Meant To Live by Switchfoot
• One Thing by Finger Eleven
• Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan
• Harder To Breathe by Maroon 5
• Float On by Modest Mouse

To world-aware songs:

• This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race by Fall Out Boy
• We Believe by Good Charlotte
• Heard The World by O.A.R.
• Waiting On The World To Change by John Mayer
• If Everyone Cared by Nickelback
• High School Never Ends by Bowling For Soup

And saving my newest favorite for last:

• In Mumbai, Waiting For A Miracle by Raghu Dixit

There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does

not find relief in music. — T.S. Eliot
