Sorry, we have been quite busy lately and I apologize for not providing an explanation. In regards to the specific number of songs about the death of a friend that we will share in this post, I have just recently come across some information. Over the past few weeks, I have been immersed in my work, hence the delay in posting this. I assure you that I will fulfill my promise to share the best songs about losing a close friend in the coming weeks.
We have no idea what the best option is. We have used a website playlist that we went under, we have used iTunes playlists, and we have done text with links to the YouTube video. We always struggle to share song lists on the website in the best format.
Today, I am going to give Spotify a try, so keep in mind that you have to scroll on the right side of the box to see all the songs. Let’s see how it goes.
We’ll use the songs below in your playlist that you can make your own so you can listen to music wherever you want, on Spotify.
