    Happy New Year 2021!

    Just a quick post to share my 2021 birthday playlist with you! I picked 37 songs for 37 years. You'll find a mix of all kinds of things new and old, English and Finnish, instrumental and vocal, melancholy and upbeat. Each one of these songs has a special place in my life.

Much love,
