Winter Bird – Aurora
All I need is to remember
How it was to feel alive
On a Good Day – Oceanlab
Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never
Never seen the sun shine brighter
And it feels like me
On a good day
Erupt – Be The Bear
Find me a way and I’ll go
Meet me on the mountain top
Find me a way and I’ll grow
Don’t Wait – Laura Brehm
Don’t let life be waiting at a standstill
You cannot afford to let the dark control you
Don’t let hope fade faster than you mean to
There is always a way to a place you haven’t seen yet
Nova (Shine a Light on Me) – VNV Nation
I dreamt the world, with my eyes open
But time moved on and then, new worlds begin again
Oh my heart, in this universe so vast
No moment was made to last, so light the fire in me
Asylums for the Feeling feat. Leila Adu – Silent Poets
We are here for you
We are here for you
Don’t suffer alone
Tell us
I Love You – Sarah McLachlan
Oh, and every time I’m close to you
There’s too much I can’t say
And you just walk away
Ravens – Lisbeth Scott, Paul Schwartz
For there were ravens circling all around
Ravens screaming ’til the joy was drowned
Insomnia – Faithless
I can’t get no sleep
I can’t get no sleep
I can’t get no sleep
Save Yourself – Stabbing Westward
I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you’re searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole
Ruler – Goldhouse, Be The Bear
I’ll be my ruler
I’ll decide my future
New Scene feat. Ofelia – Felix Cartal
I’ll be the best escape of the in between
I’ll be the…
first step to a brand new scene
All I wanted was more…
How Many Fools – Lisbeth Scott, Paul Schwartz
So that I might see the truth that lives
Inside your heart and
Never be deceived again
Beguiled by smoky visions
Of a love I thought I’d seen
How many fools I’ve been…
How many fools…
Policy of Truth – Depeche Mode
It’s too late to change events
It’s time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth
I Grieve – Peter Gabriel
Let it out and move on
Missing what’s gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life – Monty Python
Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ’em laughin’ as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
Blossom – Kerli
While my roots dig deeper inside
And my leaves stay bundled up tight
I felt my face get bigger than life
Not only did I survive…
I learned to blossom
Made Of feat. Jonathan Johansson – Music Super Circus
No one can control me ’cause this what I’m made of,
You can never break me, this is what I’m made of…
Titanium feat. Sia – David Guetta
You shoot me down but I won’t fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won’t fall
I am titanium, I am titanium

My completed list of music to represent my journey through 2019. The fact that it’s 19 songs was a happy coincidence. A bit of melodrama, a bit of maudlin, a bit of uplifting – and just a whiff of snarky humor courtesy of Monty Python.
