Favorite songs of 2018
After a two-year break, I bring back my favorite songs of the year list. I tried to bring it into order, but it’s really just a rough one. Further down the list, I get more confident with where I placed the songs. As always, please let me know your favorite songs because I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch. Here we go.

Childish Gambino
This Is America
(CN: Gun Violence)
“This Is America” goes back and forth between cheerful gospel and dark trap sections, eventually fusing both together. It’s quite groovy. The nerve-racking music video is portraying a history of gun violence in the USA.

Charli XCX/Troye Sivan

Warning, this song is extremely infectious and very 90s. I love the music video. Anyone spotted the Netspace logo at the end?

Wanna go back, wanna go back

Kali Uchis
In My Dreams
Just what a wonderful song this is. It’s wrapping around me like a long, comfortable hug. Trying to remember the feeling of it, atleast this song gives me an acoustic approximation.
Everything is just wonderful
In My Dreams by Kali Uchis
Here in my dreams, here in my dreams
Every day is a holiday
When you’re living inside your dreams
Alright, have a beautiful day, you lovely beings. And tell me about those favorite songs of yours. Maybe I can grow this list to 30. ;)
