Back in October 2020, we were knee (maybe neck) deep in the global pandemic of COVID-19. My mother was not feeling well (not from the virus, but we learned shortly after that it was from Stage 4 pancreatic cancer) and I needed something to hang on to for a few minutes each day.
I recalled my P365 experience that I started on a birthday back in 2006 and wanted something similar. My brother calls those songs that run through your head randomly (that does happen to you too, right?) his “subconcious jukebox” or ScJB. I love that term. It fits. The songs just appear in my head and suddenly I’m aware that I am singing along or at least humming to the verse or chorus or hook of any number of songs from all kinds of genres.
So, I decided to build a playlist of my ScJB from the October 2020 birthday to October 2021. A lot happened in that year including the death of my mother, continuing to work remotely and then try to transition back to on campus and so forth. I’m not sure this playlist will tell that story to anybody else but it was a nice thing to do each day. I didn’t get an original song each day but I did most days. I realize that there are repeats in the list I didn’t catch but I’ll try to clean that up over time.
For now, just enjoy the playlists:
