When you spend almost a year in isolation it gives you a lot of time to reflect, and for me that comes with a bit of nostalgia. You’ll find some of these songs from the past have a wistful, melancholy feel but all of them conjure up special memories with various people in my life. Music reinforces the power of personal connections I’ve made which has a deeper meaning for me in a year like this. To balance out the playlist, I have some newer songs scattered throughout. They’re a little more upbeat and show how creativity can really flourish in the most challenging of times and inspires me to look towards a brighter future.
