Best of 2009 (songs) #19 Matt & Kim - Daylight


One of the most ubiquitous songs of the year was also one of the most catchy. It is a simple little pop song made up of drums, keyboards, vocals and nothing more, but the energy and joy of "Daylight" was hard to deny, even for this crumudgeon. And while the opening piano notes that are seemingly everywhere anymore have grown on the nerves, by the end of the song it is hard not to fall back in love with it no matter how many times you hear it. It may be pure sugary pop, but sometimes it is the sweet stuff, the candy, that makes life worth living.
