music meme: 15 to 30
Lying awake in bed last night, I found myself wondering what I’d end up with if I made a playlist of songs where each track was the song I loved best and/or most strongly identified with in a given year, starting from 2001 (age 15) and ending with 2016 (age 30). So I did the thing, and, well - what I take from this experiment is that I like a lot of sad music, invest emotionally in songs I learn from TV shows, and am generally a wistful dork. Here, then, is my 15 - 30 playlist (note that the years in brackets indicate when I was listening to the song in question, not the year it was first released):
1 - Touched by VAST (2001)
2 - Mad World by Gary Jules (2002)
3 - Pure Morning by Placebo (2003)
4 - Teardrop by Massive Attack (2004)
5 - Who Am I by Peter Kruder (2005)
6 - Blue by Angie Hart (2006)
7 - A Place Called Home by Kim Richey (2007)
8 - Set Free by Katie Gray (2008)
9 - Pride by Syntax (2009)
10 - Out Of Range by Decoder Ring (2010)
11 - Crystallised by the xx (2011)
12 - Wedding Day by Mei Lai Swan (2012)
13 - King by Lauren Aquilina (2013)
14 - I Wish I Was the Moon by Neko Case (2014)
15 - Through the Dark by Alexi Murdoch (2015)
16 - Tiny Cities (feat. Beck) by Flume (2016)
If anyone feels moved to meme on this, post your annual favourite songs from:
- ages 15 to 30; OR
- from the last 15 years; OR
- from age 15 to now,
whichever is easiest/most applicable/most interesting!

Given that songs saved my life a lot, I couldn’t resist. Well, not the happiest playlist ever, and not exactly a la...

I really like this idea, because I’m into music and obsessing over my personal history, and it’s slightly easier for me...
