I started keeping a diary on October 26th, 1997. I was 14 and in 9th grade. I kept up until 2004, and every year, I made a ‚personal soundtrack‘ with songs that reflected last years‘ themes and storylines.

Here are 20 songs for ‚Season 19‘, October 2015 to October 2016.

• 01: 1997 / 1998
• 02: 1998 / 1999
• 03: 1999 / 2000
