2005 was a year of resignation for many of us. It was a time to turn away from politics and get on with whatever we found important in life. There was a resurgence of love songs. Others pondered the bigger questions of life, the universe, and everything. For me, 2005 was definitely a drop-out year. I spent the whole month of May just hanging out, talking about music and shrooms and the spiritual energy of plants… I crocheted an afghan and harvested herbs. That kind of year.
As always, not all the songs below are from 2005, but a lot of them are.
