Fav 150 Songs of 2024
Written by Heather Hawke.
I’ve always felt that music is a lifeline. A lifeline that equally allows one to feel connected to themselves and to feel some semblance of belonging alongside the outside world. And it couldn’t be more accurate than when something tragic happens in the world (natural disasters like the fires in LA or otherwise) that makes music feel ever so important. Here are the 150 songs that helped me navigate 2024.
