With only a few days left in 2017 (thank the old gods and the new), I gathered a years-end playlist of songs I listened to throughout the months. I cherry-picked the song I believe defined each of my months in this godforsaken year- pieces that made me cry and touched my soul. And even though the world has gone to shit, at least I have music.
