My Life In Music: Soundtrack to Me 2023

2023 went by so quickly, I don't remember most of it; but, according to the amount of songs on this list I must have spent most of the year listening to music. If you know me, you know that's not uncommon for any given year.   

We've been doing this for years, but if you're new here: below is the list of musical gems that were my go-to's and stick-with-me's through the year; like always, they don't have to be newly released during the covered year as some older songs can touch you years later for the first time or in a totally different way. Enjoy...and feel free to share your soundtrack with me! xoxo 

SPOILER: It's shorter than 2022's soundtrack.

My Life In Music: Soundtrack To Me 2015

Another year; another this is me, this is who I am. I love these posts; I love this mini project. It helps me reflect on the year, it's fun, it features music (a major love in my life), and it allows me to share myself with others...in a way that many likely don't understand from the outset. 

This is the soundtrack to my life for the year 2015.

I confess, I'm not sure what was up with 2015; was it a year of reflection, a year of living in the past, or a year of what's old is new or relevant, again? Many of the songs on the playlist this year are recordings that were released in earlier years, but they spoke volumes to me this past year. The only missing audio/video is a song from Adele's "25," but with over 3 million sales the album reached in it's first week of release...I'm sure everyone has the CD by now. If not, find the and listen to it; the title is in the track listing below!

Hello, 2016...it's me. Let's see what you hold.

As I always say, to me music is a therapy: it relaxes me, it inspires me, it becomes my voice to express myself when I cannot find the words. Put your life to music. Which songs capture you?

Nothin' But Love,

Xx
