My Favorite Songs of 2023
For years, I have been creating a "best of.." music list that includes all of my favorite songs from that year. The only criteria are that the music must have been released during that year and that I truly enjoy it. Additionally, I can only choose one song from each album release.
Music holds great significance in my life as songs help define specific moments and bring clarity to my emotions. There are a few moments of my day when music is being played on a speaker or through my headphones. I often refer back to previous lists and am reminded of the phase of life I was in when those particular songs resonated with me. Therefore, this list not only serves as an end-of-year compilation but also reflects my current life. It features a mix of songs from various genres, including heartbreak, hope, and confusion.
Please let me know in the comments which songs I may have missed that should be included in the list.
