The best songs of 2020 – Part 1
Music hasn’t been so much a form of therapy for me in 2020 as it may have been in 2019 (Bodys will long be one of the most important songs I know), but instead it’s been a welcome, bitter sweet distraction. Rather than screaming out lyrics that resonated with me and dancing in my bedroom,…
