24601 (That’s a Les Miserables joke.)

So there is actually a logical progression to the songs I picked. I’ll admit that it starts off a bit depressing. Eventually it picks up and starts being awesome (if I must say so myself). I didn’t think I could pick 10 different songs that all represented me so I decided to make an the entire thing relate. This playlist is a representation and a reminder. When life gets tough, you just have to shoulder the weight of living, be brave, revolt, rise like a phoenix, cut down those who don’t believe in you and, ultimately, be amazing.

In case you can’t see the playlist and are curious about the songs, I’ll just list them here as well.

1. Ladies And Gentlemen (City And Colour)
2. Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)
3. Things We Lost In The Fire (Bastille)
4. Come Back Down (Greg Laswell ft. Sara Bareilles)
5. Weight Of Living, Pt. I (Bastille)
6. Brave (Sara Bareilles)
7. Revolting Children (Matilda The Musical)
8. The Phoenix (Fall Out Boy)
9. Guillotine (Yadi)
10. Eye Of The Tiger (Survivor)
