This is a playlist of six of my favorite songs that I hope will help you understand a bit more about me.
YouTube Playlist
Kiss Me - Ed Sheeran
Pina Colada in a Pint Glass - Gaelic Storm
Strong - One Direction
I Would Walk 500 Miles - The Proclaimers
Seasons of Love - RENT
The Last Night - Skillet
Narrowing down my iTunes library
into a six-song playlist of my favorites was incredibly difficult. I've always
had a love for music and deciding on these six took a lot of effort. All of
these songs are connected with a memory for me. Strong, for instance, reminds me of this past Christmas and all of
the times I had spending with friends and family. Pina Colada in a Pint Glass is a song I fell in love with when I
was ten. It’s also by the first band I ever saw in concert and I still see them
every summer at Irish Fest. Kiss Me is
the song that got me hooked on Ed Sheeran and, because of that, I was able to
go see him in concert two years ago. I
Would Walk 500 Miles is significant to me because of Doctor Who. That song
will never fail to make smile and start dancing. Seasons of Love will forever remind me of the first time I saw RENT
with my sister and sang along the whole time. It’s difficult to explain why The Last Night is close to me, but I'll
let you make your deductions after listening to it.
These songs are random and they
come from different genres, but as I made this playlist, I started to notice
what they all have in common. Most of the lyrics to these songs talk about
having someone to lean on, or having someone to love. I didn't realize it as I
was making it, but looking back, I guess those lyrics really do explain what I
really care about. I care about love. After listening to this playlist, I think
you could catch that pretty quickly. You wouldn't be able to tell, however,
that I have a GREAT love for Disney music, or some traditional Celtic bagpipes,
or even the occasional rap song. My music taste is scattered and random, and it
would be impossible to nail every piece of my personality down with a few
songs, but this playlist is what I’ll be listening to on repeat for the next
week, just to remind myself of the memories I have with this music.

Jessica,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your songs. I love that you have an attachment to all of these songs in some way. It's fun to see into a little piece of your life. I agree that it was very difficult to pick out the best songs that would describe me, but I think looking back is the memorable part and being able to see how you might have grown or how attached you still are to some things. I tended to notice that I have wavered in and out of music for a very long time but once the old favorite pops on, it's a part of you. Thank you for sharing your story. The only thing I'm wondering is: What is your favorite Disney song?
