A happy accident occurred while building a soundtrack for my revolution. I realized I was approaching 33 songs, and I’m turning 33 next week. Maybe one day I’ll rearrange the list to make the song’s position mean something in regards to the year. For now, here’s my 33 songs for my revolution and the evolution I’m undergoing.
