Hello!! Here's a playlist I made of songs I discovered or rediscovered this year! I started this last year and I think I'm going to try to make it a yearly thing :) You can find last year's playlist here. You can find the playlist on spotify if you'd like to listen!
01. Distance (Emily King)
I heard this at a conference two years back but didn't discover the name / artist until this year when Jenny showed it to me and I sort of listened to it non stop ^^;; Emily King has this sultry style and her voice is just so elegant <3
02. Say a Little Prayer (Aretha Franklin) - Cover by Lianne La Havas
Lianne La Havas does such a good job on this song with her powerful and beautiful voice. This song means a lot to me because it reminds me of Linus and the relationship we had.
03. Better Together (Jack Johnson) - Cover by Us the Duo
I love the original, but there's something about the duet that makes it even more wonderful.
04. Helplessly (Tatiana Manaois)
This song describes me because I'm one to fall in love and lose control of my feelings. This line in particular sticks out to me: "See you distract me, but I'm distracted without you."
05. Paint (The Paper Kites)
I like the folksy and rhythmic feel of this song, but I feel like it will be one that people will easily skip since it's pretty repetitive :\
06. Without You (Oh Wonder)
There's something about this song that intrigues me, although I can't pinpoint what it is. I feel very comfortable when I listen to this song and it's one that I could listen on repeat forever.
07. Sorry feat. Beenzino (Zion T.)
Zion T has a way with his beats and lyrics.
08. Backbeat - Acoustic (Dangy)
This song is one that I discovered later in the year, but have been listening to it non-stop since. It feels very real and honest, but hopeful. It kind of reminds me of the movie "LadyBird," although I'm not quite sure why.
09. Lifetimes (Oh Wonder)
Amber showed me this song! I love the beat of it. I actually discovered this song in the same car ride when I discovered Distance ~
10. Can't Sleep Love (Pentatonix)
I actually didn't know that they wrote this song until I looked up information for it. It's just a super catchy song ^^
11. One Foot (WALK THE MOON)
Walk the Moon always reminds me of the music that I used to listen to in middle school (yay Switchfoot on CDs way back when). I kind of looked up Walk The Moon to see if they could contribute anything to the playlist and ended up really liking this song.
12. Find Yourself (Great Good Fine OK & Before You Exit)
Literally picked this up for the sake of filing up the playlist. But I've been more into chill EDM / Tropical House this year per recommendation by Peter. There's no crazy beat drop, but it's still super head bobbing / chill.
13. I Miss You - feat. Julia Michaels (Clean Bandit)
aka my feelings post-break-up.
14. Green & Gold Darius Remix (Lianne La Havas)
I thought the original was golden, but I like this remix even more somehow.
15. 사랑이 잘 Can't Love You Anymore - with 오혁 (IU)
IU has been killing it with her music recently so I thought I'd put one of her songs on this playlist.
16. Running Out - Acoustic (Astrid S)
Kind of repetitive, but the simplicity / rawness and the lyrics are so good. Also, her voice is beautiful.
17. Iris (The Goo Goo Dolls) - Cover by Kina Grannis
Love the lyrics of the song and Kina delivers it so so well.
18. 6/10 (dodie)
aka my anxiety.
19. Waving Through a Window (Ben Platt & Original Broadway Cast of Dear Evan Hansen)
I really love musicals and this song has been speaking to me for the whole year, so felt like it would be rude not to include it. I was going to put in Hamilton, but didn't fit in the vibe of the CD :,(
20. I Have a Hole in My Tooth (And My Dentist Is Shut) (dodie)
hahahaha just take a listen
bye bye for now ^
