I loved your list! Many of those same songs have been favorites of mine, as well, and a couple are brand new to me. Some of the artists on your list had less than fun lives, but they were still able to make something beautiful, and I find that so inspiring. One of my all-time, always on my list songs is "I Found a Reason," performed by Cat Power. It's not a well-known song, but it would definitely be on my island:
Oh, Kelli! What a *beautiful* song by Cat Power. I'm adding her to my Loved Artists on Spotify so I can listen to this song and learn more of her music. Thank you for sharing this.
What a thoughtful, grounding way to start this chaotic month! May you continue to find comfort and strength through music this year. I'll be there listening along with you. I am eager to learn more about what you find.
I hope you enjoy them! And hopefully, you know me well enough by now to know that I'd love to hear new favorite songs you encounter this year, as well as your all-time favorites.

Ooh! I'm so glad you liked it. :)
Thank you for getting my year of listening off to such a good start! Here's some of what I listened to in January. My desert island soundtrack still to come! https://shelgraves.blogspot.com/2025/02/january-music-friends-cello-feeling.html

Let the River Run --an empowering song -- I really liked the movie Working Girl, too! Wow, 80s hair!! And 80s business woman makeovers...
Yes! That hair and makeup and those outfits! For some, those styles are horrifying but I just love them. So over the top. So 80s.
Excellent! Nice timing for me: I will add these to my song a day listening list for 2025.
I hope you enjoy them! And hopefully, you know me well enough by now to know that I'd love to hear new favorite songs you encounter this year, as well as your all-time favorites.
Yes! I will be sure to share!
Oh, wow, Sherry! Waloyo Yamoni! What a perfect song to end/begin the year.
