My Year in Music – December

*gingermeister voice*(look them up on TikTok, coffee gremlin is hilarious) Hello! It is the last playlist addition of 2020 which means I can officially say HAPPY NEW YEAR!! This month’s selection of songs is different as these aren’t songs I heard; these are some of the songs that I love the most and some of the most played songs on my laptop and every song has a little explanation with it unlike previous months. This whole My Year in Music idea started as a New Year resolution to create a personal playlist with a song for every day of the year but I decided to share it on the blog for everyone to enjoy because music is best when it’s shared. This whole idea also showed me just how important music is. 300+ songs written and created by the people who, thanks to the pandemic, are currently unemployed. Without the creative minds of musicians, producers, sound engineers and crew, life would be very dull and lack a fabulous soundtrack. Music and the arts are what bring colour, sound, entertainment and light into our lives and we can’t abandon the people who have given so much of themselves and their art to us now when they need us most. If you can afford to donate to charities like We Need Crew or We Make Events, please do. 

“Where words fail, music speaks.”

– Hans Christian Anderson
