#(LOL. I can't even commit to my top 100 albums) (I haven't forgotten that project! I just stalled out)

[televinita]

I was introduced to this tweet via ONTD, and I was too late to play there, but I'm playing now!

Also it turns out I did not read the tweet very carefully, and focused simply on choosing the first twenty songs that spark instant joy. So although some of these were picked based on positive associated memories, very little should be read into this in terms of what stirs my soul or even whether I consider these tracks my favorites, on account of I love very many sad songs, and songs with beautiful lyrics that spark Feelings, but not joy specifically. Nevertheless!
