My Year In Music – August 2021

Well didn’t August just fly by this year? But, hey, I didn’t see most of it because I was working. But the start of a new month means that I’m done with my summer contract for this year and my “summer break” can begin. It’s probably the craziest, most random summer I’ve ever experienced even though I didn’t actually do anything all too crazy (we don’t include the Nico Rosberg Drinking Game. That doesn’t count). My mind is blown by how much other people can impact your life but, looking forward, I have a feeling that life is going to get more interesting. But that’s off topic. Dobby is a free elf! And fully intends to hibernate for most of this month because always plastering a smile on your face for the public, even on bad days, is exceptionally hard to do.

Now, let’s move onto the song choices for this month and, as always, the links to the YouTube and Spotify playlists are available here and at the bottom of the post and I hope you enjoy the choices I made this month. Em x
