The 16 Songs Project - May 2026

The 16 Songs Project May 2026 May is a fantastic month for listening to music, which makes it a wonderful time for The 16 Songs Project. I mean, most months are good for listening to music. Hell, they all might be, in their own way, but May's way connects with the vibes of the music and really hits home. Go for a walk, sit outside, or roll your car windows down and pop on this month's playlist. ...Well, I guess it's actually June now. That's kind of the thing about doing a month end playlist....

The 16 Songs Project April 2026 Welcome back to The 16 Songs Project and welcome to April. If you live in a part of the world that has four seasons, it's safe to say that spring has arrived and there are few times of year better suited to playlist creation.

The 16 Songs Project February 2026 Welcome back to The 16 Songs Project. As I stated last month (read it if you missed it), I did this project behind closed doors for years (64 times) before showing anyone else my monthly playlist. Shedding a tiny bit of daylight had a few effects on my picks this month. First, I now take this project even more stupidly self-seriously.

The 16 Songs Project January 2026 At the end of every month, starting back in September 2020, I have compiled a playlist of the 16 Songs that meant the most to me over those 30 days. Some of those songs were newly released, some new to me, and others just hit home for some reason. I call it The 16 Songs Project. Why do I do this? That's a great question. I've asked myself that question a lot. It is nice to be able to look back at the songs that resonated with me. It's nice to have playlists...
