Words are pretty weird. One\u00a0alone is easy to understand, almost impossible to misinterpret. But string a bunch\u00a0of them together,\u00a0and it gets more complicated (as well as beautiful, descriptive, romantic or hurtful). One line can make you remember a song forever, or dismiss it entirely. Out of all of the thousands, maybe millions\u00a0of lyric\u00a0that were recorded this year, here are some that stood out the most.<\/p>\n

Or, they recognize that \u201ctil death do us part\u201d and \u201cin sickness and in health\u201d don\u2019t quite cut it in a time of war, economic instability, and global warming. On I Love You, Honeybear<\/i>, Josh Tillman examined many aspects of modern love, but none were as realistically romantic or sincere as on the title track: \u201cBut don\u2019t ever doubt this, my steadfast conviction\/ My love, you\u2019re the one I want to watch the ship go down with.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
