- Intro- Lukas Graham
Observations and reflections:
- I am obsessed with Lukas Graham. This isn’t really an observation, although my Top Songs of 2019 certainly reflects it. I discovered Lukas Graham in early 2019 and spent most of the year listening to his music nonstop and on repeat.
- I love Ed Sheeran. This is also not really an observation, I already knew this. I love his music, but I’m not a big fan of his most recent album.
- I’ll never get a true gauge of my music taste over the year because I put my spotify on the T.V. where others can use it, and because I use it for parties and to let my daughter listen to music.
- We listened to a lot of Aladdin. Jasmine is my daughter’s favorite princess.
- We listened to a lot of James Taylor- which admittedly, 99% of those September Grass plays were my doing. But the other songs on the list largely made the list because my mom was shuffling them on the T.V.
- I’m nostalgic. I listened to a lot of music I used to listen to as a kid or teen:
- James Taylor
- Put Your Records On
- Island in the Sun
- Soak Up the Sun
- Ridin’ Solo
- She’s in Love with the Boy
- Blister in the Sun
- Party in the U.S.A.
- Steal My Sunshine
- Peace Train
- Uptown Funk
- I love soundtracks! Featured on this playlist are songs from Aladdin, Soul Surfer, Blended, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, The Fault in our Stars, and Aquamarine. Also some songs I picked up from Grey’s Anatomy and “Everyday People” which I first heard in Definitely, Maybe.
- My daughter loves A Great Big World, “Rockstar” is her favorite song.
- My most listened song of 2019 was not my favorite song- my favorite song ranked #2.
- I played my Beach Playlist on repeat more than I realized! Most of the sun and beach-themed songs on this were from that. I played it on the way to and from the beach all summer long.
- Songs I played only one or twice made it onto my most listened because of how fervently I repeat my favorite songs.
Spotify’s automated playlists are an interesting way to gain some insight to yourself and your habits, which to me is just and added perk since I primarily use Spotify because I like being able to make custom playlists.
