Since I’m such a music lover, I decided to make a music playlist. We had to construct a playlist according to how I would like to viewed to my classmates. Well, my classmates don’t really know me. But since I love music so much, and it means so much to me, I decided to make a 10-song playlist based on songs that are specifically meaningful to me.

1. Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem – This song opens up my playlist because it’s possibly one of my favorite songs ever. I have so many good memories with song in the background. The way it rises and falls is beautiful, and it’s a great song to go crazy to. It’s such an important song for me personally because it reminds me of so many good times in my life.

2. Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear – This song gets me so happy. The melodies and harmonies in this song are so uplifting and positive, it is almost impossible for me to not smile from it.

3. My Girls by Animal Collective – My Girls’ message is about good values, and all you want is a house, a wife, and children to raise. To live the classic American dream, something I really appreciate, personally. Not only that, but it’s a sick song, it’s pumpy and the buildup is unbelievable.

4. Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes – I love this song so much. It talks about how everyone works together in the world, and it’s not worth complaining about things we don’t know about.

5. Float On by Modest Mouse – Float On is about having awful stuff happening to you, but just dismissing it and forgetting about about it and looking forward to the future. Like Hakuna mata.

6. Solitude is Bliss by Tame Impala – This song interests me so much because it speaks about the wonders of being alone, which is an interesting concept for a very trippy and fun song.

7. The Rat by The Walkmen- This song makes me go crazy. I have so much fun to this song and dance like crazy to this thing.

8. Feel It All Around by Washed Out – Great band, great song. It takes you to another world, and it’s unique to any song on this list or that I know of.

9. Wake Up by Arcade Fire – Whenever I hear this song, I just want to throw my hands up in the air in jubilation.  It’s so freeing, and it makes me want to embrace the people next to me. Happiness just oozes out of this song.

10. All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends reminds me the happiest times of my life. It’s like the anthem for my and my friends, and gets me happy and sad at the same time, because my friends are all away at college now. But it’s a very powerful song in its own right, and deserves merit from that alone. But the fact that it makes me emote so much as well, it closes out my personal playlist.
