Intro

I’m Gabriella Roytman, but most of my friends call me Gab or Gabby. I chose to create a playlist, but for some reason the website I used is not working, so I will link you to each song on youtube, and explain why it I love it so much. The first song is by the Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, who has the most beautiful voice in the world. The song is called “Wanderlust“, a feeling that I can absolutely relate to. It is about freedom and exploration, and being “in love with something bigger than love.” I love to travel and explore new places so this song definitley hits close to home. Next, is a song by PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake, called “Over here“. I honestly just really like the vibe of this song and the amazing mood it puts me in. Next is a song by Beach House called “Master of None“. This song is so beautiful. “Jack of all trades, master of none.” I think that quote really describes the place I am right now in life: trying many new things, but not yet picking one to “master.” Next is a song by Belle & Sebastian called “The Boy With the Arab Strap.” The lyrics “color my life with the chaos of trouble, ’cause anything’s better than posh isolation” are also something I can relate to. I do not want to live a life in “dank submission” as Bukowski would say. Anything but ordinary please, which brings me to my next song by Avril Lavigne called just that.. “Anything But Ordinary” The next is one of my favorite songs of all time, by Modest Mouse called “Float on.” It is a song about carrying on through the toughest times. “Even if things end up a bit too heavy, we’ll all float on.” I think that really captures my essence, for I am a firm believer of never giving up. In fact this song has been an inspiration through some of the toughest times in my life. The next three songs are just a few mellow jams that my friends and I like to sing along to when we hang. Although their lyrics are not incredibly relatable to me, these are the songs I have made some amazing memories to, and every time I listen to them, they take me back to those amazing times: “Everybody“, “Stolen Car“, and “Hotel California“. Finally the last song, is by Empire of the Sun, and is my favorite song of all time. “Walking on a Dream” basically sums up my life. “Searching for the thrill of it” is my motto. Life is about finding fun in everyday, and living to the fullest. “All we got is tonight that is right till first light”; basically: CARPE DIEM.
