A Rundown of 2020 Song Discoveries

It's the new year and I figured I'd share a list songs I discovered, rediscovered and appreciated this year.
(I'm not really sure if I have the energy to tell the story behind every song/ album included on this list. I might end up oversharing. Instead, I  chose several songs from the list that I want to talk about because they are worth sharing. )
 
1. Lemonade (Beyonce)- I did not expect to like a Beyonce album because I wasn't really that familiar with her works. I discovered this after watching some SNL Kits featuring some songs from the album. 

2. Graceland ( Paul Simon)- This song reminds me of a shot story I read from Granta Magazine's Issue No.65 - London. The story is called The Umbrella by Hanif Kureishi. I remember listening to this song 2 Christmas eves ago and feeling really sad for the narrator. 

3. Inside Susan (Pulp)- This one I really like because: 1.) it's a Pulp song; and 2.) it's a cool way to write about what goes inside a person's mind. This song reminds me of teenage angst and insecurities from teenage years.

4. Come Give Me Love (First Aid Kit) - It's been a while since First Aid Kit released a new song. This one is special because it was released on my birthday- I call this as a surprise birthday present. Although the English version is nice, i prefer the Swedish version. Also, the album art is so beautiful.
