100 Songs You Have To Listen To Before You Die
Lucy Cunningham
Think of the most difficult type of person you could relate to you in the world. For example, to me it might be a foreign middle-aged businessman who kicks his cat for fun, something extreme. That is a severe example, I know, but I reckon that no matter how different people are, we are all connected on a same level; music.
For everyone, listening to a song can completely shift your mood, perspective and even life if you’re lucky. Here are some songs in which I hope produce these feeling for you.
