A new year brings new opportunities, new memories to be made, and most importantly – new music to discover. As we go through the year, we can look back at the music we listened to during those times to remind us of the different periods in our lives. 

This playlist is full of YOUR recommendations based on the prompts of each month! These include not only student recommendations, but also a few songs your teachers are listening to. 

Throughout the month of January, we asked students, “What song is setting the tone for your 2023?” Whatever song is representing your energy this year is here in Eastside’s January Playlist. Here are the songs our peers (and faculty!) suggested:
