summeryewberryThis year, I put together a list of my favourite songs/musical pieces ever, just for fun.
I'm not making any promises of quality here; I'm not a musician, I'm just some idiot on the internet. But it's my list, ranked for my own subjective reasons based on what songs mean something to me, which ones I personally love, and some I'll never get tired of. It covers my entire life, every genre I've ever encountered, and, like, six languages.
