Favorite 100(ish) Songs of 2020
As 2020 closes, these are the songs that inspired me to push through
Hello again, friends! We are days away from 2021 now. It’s close enough to taste, unless like me, your stuck at home with COVID and can’t taste or smell a thing. Yeah, I tested positive yesterday after coming down with a fever and oppressive headache on Christmas morning, go figure. It was just one last smirk from this year that has continually filled us with confusion, frustration, pain, anger, and heartache.
But friends, I’m hopeful. And I’m tired of being overwhelmed by those things. Don’t get me wrong, I’m under no delusions that the pain will fall away when the ball drops Thursday night. Life will go on much as it has, at least for a while. Things might get worse. Some might get better. But some things—the joy of new music being one of them—remain constant.
As we put an end to 2020 and the first year of this newsletter, I wanted to take a look back and celebrate the good music that has fueled this year for me. Today, that comes in the form of a playlist of my favorite 100(ish) songs of 2020. I hope you enjoy!
And heads up! The rest of this week, I’ll be sharing more Quarter Notes content including:
