The songs of our life come and go. Here are some of my current favorites.

I tried to narrow down the list but it was just impossible. And yes, it took me forever to put this post together, so do me a favor and check out these songs! I also highly recommend checking out more music by these artists because, in my opinion, they really are true artists.

And TONS of credit goes to Rob because without him, I would have never even heard most of these songs. To quote a friend, “He’s the Master Yoda of Music”. We have over 16 DAYS worth!!!
