Music is the ultimate party starter, comforter, pain reliever and coping mechanism. Whether you're making music or listening to it, it's definitely a part of daily human life. Think about it; almost all cars have radios built in. Several apps have been created for smartphones. It's been a huge part of human functioning basically since forever. I love music and can't live a day without it, so I decided to make a list of the songs that I fell in love with, danced to or that impacted me in the year 2016. This article is dedicated to the friends who showed me all this rad music, as well as the artists themselves. I couldn't have survived this year without them.
