Anyone that knows me knows that my life of music is a big part of my life. Maybe it’s streaming satellite radio, listening to my digital collection, big venue concerts, local shows, or my personal favorite…vinyl, there is music in the background.
On May 10, 2020, my favorite songwriter, Bono, released a list of his “60 Songs That Saved My Life” to celebrate his 60th birthday. The list was a series of letters to the writers of the songs, each deeply personal and the range of the artists he addressed was similar to what I would choose. Artists such as REM, Nirvana, Billie Eilish, Public Enemy, and many other various artists were included. It is an amazing and inspiring list.
Could I narrow my list to 60 songs? 100 songs? I don’t know, because music hits me every day. I’m always hearing something that is inspiring me and amazing me. That is what this list will be. Yes I will included my favorite, most important and life changing songs, but I will also explore other songs that have impacted me in some profound way.
I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I do.
