This Week’s Theme: Happy New Year

As we close out 2022, we want to look forward to 2023 and the exciting (and hopefully happy) new year! We want to build a playlist full of your favorite New Year’s Eve music, and any songs that fill you with hope and optimism for the future. Share your selections with us, below!

I’ll start things off with a song that’s always great for lifting my spirits:

Due to the high volume of submissions and the limited number of hours in a day, we’ll be selecting two songs from each member, but feel free to share as many as you like!


:headphones: Curious what Mixtape Monday is? :headphones:
Every week, we’ll post the title of our latest Mixtape, and you post tracks of your choice in the comments below! We’ll follow up next Mixtape Monday with the list of tunes, two from each user, collected from the week before. And if our “What’s the Last Song You Heard?” thread is any indication, you all have superb taste in tunes!

For our hardcore music lovers, we suggest joining Inky’s Mixtape Mob , a group created to bring all music lovers together in one place. Joining Inky’s Mixtape Mob will make sure you get notified of every playlist update, as well as offer you a custom flair and title to show off your maestro-dom!

While lyrics must abide to Forum Guidelines , the songs can be anything, of any genre, as long as it meets each week’s theme!

People of a certain age probably remember this. Guy Lombardo’s version of “Auld Lang Syne.”

And then here’s “Let Start the New Year Right” by Bing Crosby

Those are great choices! It’s not the holidays for me without Auld Lang Syne and lots of Bing Crosby.

Me too! I think Bing Crosby and Gene Autry were the kings of holiday songs.
