Every year I start a new playlist called "Songs for 20XX" and I fill it with new music I discover and older songs that really speak to something happening in the year or songs that help me get through something. I've been doing it since 2011 and listening to those playlists really hits on so many of the things mentioned in this post, taking me back to those years. It's always a bit bittersweet to end a year's playlist, but exciting to start with an empty one that I know I'll fill up with interesting things along the way. 2024's playlist is quite a tale if you know what you're listening to, it's been a heck of a year already with two crazy months to go!
I do something similar, especially if I’m going through a lot in a year. I love how a song can take me back to a time period or memory, it can be a fun way to relive great moments or be thankful I got through a challenging time.
I can't wait to create this playlist! So many songs come to mind! Right now the songs that I'm keeping on repeat are Letting Go for Dear Life by Tenth Avenue North and Aprovecha by Santiago Benavides
Been going through a lot the past few years and some of the songs that have really been with me through it are: Unconditional I (Lookout Kid) - Arcade Fire; The Steps - HAIM; Be Sweet - Japanese Breakfast.
