My Name is Claudia

Ok, ok. So this isn’t really a “best of” list as much as it is a “most played” list. Spotify released it’s list of most played songs this year, and most (if not all) are no surprise. Basically if you heard it on the radio or in a commercial or a movie trailer…it’s in this list.

Which made me think of some of my favorites of the year. Don’t laugh. I always feel vulnerable when putting my musical tastes out THERE. But alas, I basically lifecast everything else, so what’s a list of a few favorite songs on some random Tumblr.

In no particular order:

Lana Del Rey- “Video Games” (thanks for alerting me to this @unclegrambo)
Adele- “Someone Like You” (if this didn’t tug at your heart strings…)
David Guetta f/Usher- “Without You” (love the video)
Lady Gaga- “You and I” (sounds like a country song without being country)
Coldplay- “Paradise” (this song grew on me after the Howard Stern interview)
Kings of Leon- “The End” (just ‘cause)
Teddy Thompson- “Take Care of Yourself” (beautiful, beautiful song)
Rihanna- “Only Girl (In the World)” (might have played this 1,000 times while running)
Bruno Mars- “Grenade” (just love his soulful voice)
Robert Schwartzman- “Out of My Mind” (I will always have a soft spot for this guy)
Matt & Kim- “Daylight” (one of my favorite concerts this year)
