Year- End Countdown: Music Edition


2021 hasn't officially ended yet, and here I am already in the process of listing down my Top 10 songs that I had, for a long time being, put torturously on repeat without the world knowing. Putting my earphones on is actually one of the best decisions I made this year when I had to look steady despite losing my cool already during working hours. 

Listening to my playlist especially during afternoon, two or three hours after I take my lunch, has been my routine since the year started. It is a test of patience when I had to exhaustingly look for a fresh and friendly kind of playlist-- the ones with some songs I am already familiar with but are mixed in with other songs that have this certain snap of mystery to tell to a first-time listener. It is more than rare to find something like that since you are more comfortable listening to your self-made playlist. Speaking of which, this year I have gone through many self-made playlists: I think, I have created five or more which at one point I got sick of that's why I deleted them all and made another one where I don't think it followed a certain theme. I have other recommendations from Pinterest which I just listened to for at least two times in a row then have already forgotten its existence since then, today I have only one considered main playlist which I named WFH Playlist (LOL!!!) however, I've noticed that I don't play it anymore, but instead listen more now to the songs I liked but not officially added to my playlist. 

My Top 10 songs are not, FYI, all new releases. Most are already years old which also have been my favorite but then forgotten until I remembered it again somewhere randomly. There are a lot of songs that I listened to for the first time while there are also others that feel like it is the first time listening to them. It is kind of hard squeezing so many good tracks into just "top 10" but I had to, to allow space for a little history and story. Here we go:

(Maybe I am going to list all the songs from the ones I am more connected just recently to the songs that have been sitting on my playlist but still feel refreshing and deserve to get an apology from me for murdering the replay button)
