About: This is a mix with the theme "songs you need to hear". Instead of just choosing my favorite songs, I started off by looking at my "Loved Tracks" on my Lat FM charts. I usually will heart a song if I'm listening to it and it really hits me - maybe it just really emotionally effects me that time or it does something I haven't heard in other songs. This is a mix I made from my loved tracks.
