In addition, I liked a lot of songs this year, so instead of trying to keep this a 30 song playlist, I'm doubling it up. A little bit of everything in here; best consumed on shuffle.
What will next year bring? Who knows. Hopefully some live music and less pandemic content. But, most importantly? Good health. See you never, 2020.
