We have arrived at one of the most glorious days of my blogging year: the reveal of my favorite songs of the past 12 months. <\/p>\n
I often attempt to find common threads that wind through my selections. At first I wasn\u2019t detecting any this year. There were a few songs about dead people, but that was a small subset of the bigger list. As I was putting the final touches on my list, I realized that there is a presence of gratitude in quite a few of these tracks. Maybe not all 21 songs (spoiler alert: there\u2019s a tie in the countdown), but many of them address gratitude from different perspectives. <\/p>\n
I am grateful there was so much good music this year (the first eight months of the year were terrific, then the pace slackened a bit). And I\u2019m grateful for you indulging me by reading my thoughts and listening to my playlist.<\/p>\n
As is tradition, I have embedded videos for each song and included a Spotify playlist.<\/p>\n
20 – \u201cStatic\u201d – Gold Tongue
\nSongs that rocked made a comeback in 2022. At least in the stuff I listened to. This was a good way to get the year started, a pummeling track that is a throwback to the heady days around the turn of the millennium.<\/p>\n
