I had this revelation the other day that I can calculate how much I love a song depending on the amount of awesomeness in the lyrics and the melody added together. The best songs have a high percentage of each, but if a song has a weak melody but extremely strong lyrics it can be a favorite as well.

The best possible song is 200%.

Here's what I've calculated so far.

• 200%
  • "Plane" - Jason Mraz
  • "The Chain" - Ingrid Michaelson
  • "Wordplay" - Jason Mraz
  • "I Cut Off My Hair" - Regina Spektor
  • "Mamma's Boy" - Elizabeth & The Catapult
  • "MFEO Pt. 2: You Can Breathe" - Jack's Mannequin
  • "Boy With a Coin" - Iron & Wine
  • "All the Rowboats" - Regina Spektor

• finally succeeding at something that has been a goal for a long time.
• having someone else see you accomplish that goal.

• finding the perfect photoshop brushes or actions.
• comments on facebook or livejournal.
