My playlist has a variety of songs. To start off, I am a Christian. Born and raised in a Christian family. So that’s where the Christian songs come in. I believe in my Father and that he is my shepherd and will guide me in my life.
I’ve also grown up listening to 50 cent. I really like his song Hate it or Love it. It just speaks to me. About the underdogs. How they should be noticed. It’s those who are unnoticed who are the most interesting. Although I’m unnoticed I’m not interesting. The irony.
Other songs such as Chariot, Something to Hope For, and Forgive me is because I’ve lost my way a little. I’ve strayed from my path. I’ve become someone I never wanted to become. I want to fix the things I have done. Those I have wronged. I hurt the person I care most about. I screwed up. I want to fix what I’ve done, but it’s hard. Not knowing what to do. Or where to start.
Melodies of Life is because of the saddest I had ever got because of someone. I was in the dark completely and was blind. I really lost all hope. But someone saved me, the one I care about most now. The one I hurt terribly.
Soldier and Light up the Sky is probably because I just want to protect the people I love. I always wanted to be a knight since I was young. I just really want to save people. Be a guardian. But I failed in doing so too. I’ve failed a lot in my life. How sad…
Chasing Cars is to tell that I’m not a person who needs extravagant things in life. I don’t need anything fancy. Of course it is nice to have things like that, but I generally don’t care too much. I just want to live a simple life with the ones I love. Protecting those I care about. I don’t need too much out of life. I just like things simple. Plain. Guess that’s why I’m such a boring person. Oh well.
Of course just 10 songs can’t describe me. Everyone is much more complex than just a few words or a few songs, or a few pictures. Everyone has their depth. Deeper than the ocean. It’s too hard to describe people. Too hard to describe oneself. I’m sure everyone is still unsure about themselves. Who they are. Their significance. Humans, are just too complicated. Too beautiful. Too dangerous.
First of all, I just want to say that you have made me a fan of Gavin DeGraw. I also want to say that you are far more interesting than you know. I know you might think that I’m just saying that, but I am not the type of person to just say things for the sake of saying something.
I absolutely agree with you that no amount of songs can completely describe a person. However, by knowing some songs that a person likes and can relate to somehow, can begin to say something about a person that is beneath the surface. Perhaps, it gives us even a little bit of a better perspective on the person and even just a bit better is progress.
I also want to say that I think you write beautifully and soulfully. “Humans, are just to complicated. Too beautiful. Too dangerous.” I think that was a beautiful and accurate statement.
There is much more I can comment on about this post, but I will spare you from my bombarding thoughts.
I enjoyed reading your blog post!
