So happy to have discovered The Beths this year (seeing them in December) and I absolutely adore their latest album but the song I keep coming back to most is Til My Heart Stops. Another perfect love song infused with passion and quirk. #bestsongsof2025

Deep Sea Diver had one of my favorite albums and concerts this year and Tiny Threads is the standout track for me. Lush and hypnotic and often on repeat. #bestsongsof2025

Starting off my #bestsongsof2025 with Lucky Stars by Haim. Gorgeous love song with a nod to friend Taylor Swift’s Invisible String. I got CHILLS hearing this one live.

6 years without Mike. Almost made it through this tough day. Lit my candles and listened to my Good Grief playlist.

Today would be my mom’s 76th birthday and I got a long, comforting visit from a cardinal (the bird, not the catholic kind).

And for the finale: Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar is the dissiest of diss tracks, catchy and brutally amusing. #bestsongsof2024

Bonus for today is a third song from Taylor Swift, who dominated my top 100 with 20 different tracks. Is that embarrassing?! Song is Clara Bow, which made my top 5, in fact, in number of listens. #bestsongsof2024

Sturgill Simpson has a voice with so much character, I can’t stop listening. If the Sun Never Rises Again is a stellar track off his latest outing, under the Johnny Blue Skies moniker. If you don’t know Simpson, also check out Turtles All the Way Down from 2014. #bestsongsof2024
