My Favorite Songs of 2019

It's time once again for the annual list of my favorite songs of the year, this time it's 2019. As we close out the decade, there are several songs that come to mind as being particular favorites this year, and with this list I will do my best to curate a good cross section of what I've enjoyed this year.

As always, here are the rules I have set myself: One song per artist/band, and in order to be considered a 2019 song, the song had to be released in 2019, or released in 2018 but on an album/EP released in 2019. Without further ado, here's the list (in no particular order):

*NOTE: Clicking [listen] will take you to a YouTube video of just the song (lyric video, etc,) while clicking [watch] will link to the music video for the song, provided I could find an associated music video.
