Monthly Playlists
Monthly Playlists
Since March, 2019, I have created a playlist for every single month. Some are better than others, but all allow me to reflect on what I was listening to at certain points of my life. It is a meaningful practice I encourage others to try. I have no criteria for when a song should be added. Typically, if I like it, it goes in. Sometimes there will be repeats, but I guess those are the songs I especially like.
After three years, I made a compilation of the best tracks from the preceding months. After another three of Earth's rotations, I did the same thing.
You can find all of those playlists below organized by year. This year's will remain on this page. Additionally, you'll find my two, three-year compilations appropriately titled "Three" and "Six."

Six. This marked the sixth year of making a playlist every month, so it contains my favorites from the preceding five years. Cover image: Marsh Marigold Night by Nikolai Astrup.
