Growing up is messy. Soul-searching is messier. Especially when you’re not sure who you really are beneath all the noise. But here’s the secret – those songs you keep coming back to aren’t just random nostalgia-infused tracks. They’re your autobiography, written in bass lines and choruses. Breadcrumbs leading straight back to you. Songlog is my journey through life’s soundtrack and an exploration of how music unlocks forgotten versions of ourselves.
Your songs hold the exact same magic – you just need to press play.
Start by exploring the latest posts or dive into my Songlog Stories to find inspiration, fuel your growth, and help uncover your own forgotten melodies. Your soundtrack is waiting.

A beat about me
I’m Magda. I’m a music junkie and a story chaser. I hold a special place in my heart for the tunes that helped me create my life moments because they’ve helped shape who I am. This blog started as my music journal – a place to collect memories, share thoughts about change and growth, and attempt to encapsulate the emotions, events, people, and places that mean a lot to me. It’s my way of using music and memories to remember who I am.

Songlog stories
I started this blog because I desperately needed to keep my memories alive. There are so many of them, and they’re all too precious to forget or let fade. You know how it goes with music – it changes you as a person and layers on new experiences. So these Songlog stories are my vault, helping me keep those memories intact. But there’s more to it – they help me remember who I am and (I truly believe this) they help me find my way forward.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons. – Dave Grohl
