My life has a soundtrack. Much like my life, it isn’t a very consistent one, and sometimes seems out of place or in conflict with what’s happening. That’s what I love about it.

Every single day is filled with songs and singing and appreciating the music someone else has created with the fibres of each and every one of my feelings.

There are happy days I’ll fill with solemn music, or sad days filled with heavy beats and happy tunes. There are days when it’s all about reminiscing, or days when I’m adventurous and try on some new music. But every day, there are lyrics and beats.

These are just 12 songs I listened to today that made me feel happy to be alive.

Naturally, I thought I’d share them with you, in the hopes they make you feel the same way.
