It's the end of the year and I know it, and I feel fine.

So decided to make a year end list along with everyone else for my top 10 favorite albums of the year. The top 5 are albums that got me through the worst depression I've ever been in. I got lost in every track and could relate to each one which was so important to me at the time. I needed to know that what I was going through was normal and that it happens to almost everyone. I just needed to get through it. I don't think I ever realize how important music is in my life until I think about an album or band and see what an impact they have on my mind and feelings when I hear them. Anyway, here they are:

Honorable Mention: Life Fantastic (Man Man)



Favorite song: Life Fantastic




10. James Blake (James Blake)

Favorite song: Limit To Your Love


9. Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (M83)


Favorite Song: Intro into Midnight City is just so perfect but they didn't have audio for that so here's Midnight City.


8. Born This Way (Lady Gaga)


Favorite song: Marry the Night


7. House of Balloons (The Weeknd)


Favorite Song: High For This


6. Moment Bends (Architecture in Helsinki)


Favorite Song: Contact High


5. 4 (Beyonce)--God, I love this woman. This album is such an empowering album. In her other albums she talked about heartbreak and being single. This album is full on Beyonce in love and it's beautiful.


Favorite Song: Love on Top


4. Yuck (Yuck) This album got me through some really tough moments by just existing in times I needed to walk around and get my thoughts straightened out.


Favorite Song: Shook Down


3. Cults (Cults) Fucking A. This album got me through a phase of mine in the summer where I wanted to just be sad over heartbreak and the crazy thoughts that went through my head. They got me!


Favorite Song: Abducted


2. Father, Son, Holy Ghost (Girls) Christopher Owens really knows how to write about heartbreak and sadness and does it well.


Favorite Song: Just a Song


1. 21 (Adele) This girl gets me. Adele writes the words that I wish I could write when I feel the way she does. You can guarantee I will be in tears after a full listening to this album, every time.


Favorite Song: Someone Like You literally makes me cry every time I hear it, no matter where I am. But Don't You Remember is a tie as well for favorite on this album.
