Sometimes I wish my life had a soundtrack. With each passing moment there will play a song, making it even more memorable than the moment actually is. Even though I’m not fortunate enough to have a soundtrack playing with each decision I make and all the moments in 2020, there will always be songs that come to mind when I think of 2020 – the year of reality. So I decided to garner the troops, and make a playlist filled with our best songs of 2020 that would’ve been the best soundtrack for the most shitty year to date.
