Ready to see my video compilation from 2019? It’s to the song “Don’t Stop Making It Happen” by Grouplove. I had a hard time finding a song that I adored this year that was upbeat enough for the video and had lyrics that matched how I felt about this year, but this was one of my favorite songs to listen to this year, so here we go!
