My Year In Music – August

August has come and gone and school is in session, ladies and gents, which means that I am officially on my holidays after finishing my contract in the local Post Office for another year. You know those holidays that I can’t go on because of this little thing called a global pandemic but we can’t let that stop us. It’s time to add another month’s worth of music to our ever expanding YouTube and Spotify playlists and this month’s songs were inspired choices if I do say so myself (I mean I picked them, of course I’d say that). August was a bit crazy but, even in all the craziness, you can still figure things out for yourself. You just need to ask the right questions. Until next time music lovers: Peace!
