Boney's Favorite Songs of 2018

A (relatively) brief taste of my 2018 favorites. Album list coming mid-January. Consider this a preview but not too spoilery - a lot of albums the songs here come from won't be listed on the album list and there will be some albums not represented here that will be there. Listed alphabetically, with lyrics selections (where applicable).
1Advance Base
Animal Companionship


"Dolores & Kimberly"

The streets were so empty
You’d think it was the rapture
Our midnight world
Just me and you
2Amen Dunes
Freedom


"Freedom"

You’ve got a beautiful guitar
And there's an ocean where you are
Wherever you run, there you are
3Anna von Hausswolff
Dead Magic


"The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra"

You look at their faces and their meaningless loss
And you cry
4Beach House
7


"Drunk In LA"

Can't help seeking corners
Of dark and dead end rooms
Where the drinks keep pouring down
And the candles keep me warm
5Big Red Machine
Big Red Machine


"Hymnostic"

I am not an apparition
But I’ll haunt you
You'll see
6Bill Ryder-Jones
Yawn


"Mither"

Will you still play on my mind
When I'm proud of myself?
Know I only meant well
7Brandi Carlile
By the Way, I Forgive You


"The Joke"

I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
8Calexico
The Thread that Keeps Us


"Music Box"

Here's a little gift from me to you
A place to store your dreams and your secrets too
9CHVRCHES
Love Is Dead


"Heaven/Hell"

Is it right if I'm a perfect actress
Playin' the princess in distress?
10Cloud Nothings
Last Building Burning


"So Right, So Clean"

So right, so clean
But does it mean anything?
11Daughters
You Won't Get What You Want


"The Reason They Hate Me"

You have a lot of fun playing grab-ass with the boys
Which one's going to give you a ride home?
Which one's going to walk you to the door?
Wonder which one's going to call?
12Dawes
Passwords


"Crack the Case"

It's really hard to hate anyone
When you know what they've lived through
And once they've given you a taste
13Deafheaven

"Glint"

Imagining us clasping hands in holiday
Imagining you growing older
Growing somehow more beautiful
14Death Cab for Cutie

And I wonder where you are tonight
If the one you're with was a compromise
As we're walking lines in parallel
That will never meet and it's just as well
15The Decemberists
I’ll Be Your Girl


"Rusalka, Rusalka / The Wild Rushes"

Come down, my little darling, come closer to me
The water is warm; it is salty and free

That always brings the pain

The deconstruction has begun
Time for me to fall apart

There is someone where I go now who reminds me of how you looked
That morning in sunlight when I saw how you looked under glass
How many first days do we have the nerve to wait for?
