Starting a new year is often a mix of emotions. Plenty of talk of projects and hopes, but they can feel unattainable and lofty, and looking back on the past year can bring disillusionment.
Well, I'm starting a project that aims to start the year off on a joyous note. I am beginning my #JanuaryOfJoy
It's a simple idea: Every day in January (for as long as have songs), I share a song that either brings me joy, feels joyful, or that I somehow associate with happiness. And I get to share cool music with others.
As an extra challenge, every song will be from a different musical artist!
I will be posting a YouTube link to every song, and do my best to talk a bit about why I feel each song is part of this collection.
I do not have 31 ready just yet, but having 15 prepared is good enough to start with.
Also, people are free (and encouraged!) to do their own version of this project.
01: "Since I Left You" by The Avalanches www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3YR...
An odd choice to begin, since this song sounds so bittersweet, but it is the one that inspired this idea. To me, it represents finding happiness and good spirits after losing people and experiences that were once so meaningful.
