30-Day Song Challenge

Been seeing this floating around Instagram and thought I’d just do it cause I love music and it’s cloudy out. And I think the music a person listens to provides an intimate look into that person. I’m always interested to know what others listen to and I’m sorry but I will judge you for it. Most of these songs are some of my favorites. Some songs I thought of immediately (day 15 was the first to come to me) and some took me searching through my itunes library.
