Alright, I’ll be honest. The following songs are picked from my own playlists; I didn’t search for songs that could accurately portray me or whatever, like what some of you guys did. I may have taken the lazy way out, but if they’re from my playlists they still represent me in some fashion. So while they don’t give off some significant or deep meaning, they’re songs I like enough to take up space on my smartphone and my computer. I’d like to think this actually means something, because my entire library of songs is only just under 4GB of space.
The first song in the playlist is “Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones. The lyrics of this song don’t really need explaining. Although the song is sung in an anti-war context, I also take it sometimes, you need a time-out from life to take a breather.
The “End Credits” from the movie Star Trek: First Contact is the second song on my playlist. While it has no lyrics, it has a very powerful, grand feel to its tune that says “The sky’s the limit.” In this case, space is.
“Kono Ai Tsugu” by Niira Etsuko is a song that I like purely for its tune and mood. While I can’t understand the lyrics, you can still understand what the artist is trying to put across. As a creative writer, this song was an awesome piece for thinking up random stuff to write about.
The next song is a classic: “Hotel California” by the Eagles. The lyrics hold little significance to me, but you can almost imagine the hotel that you can never leave when listening to it.
“Go the Distance” by Michael Bolton is a great song. It’s catchy, fun to listen to, and best of all, the lyrics really resonate with me. It’s a fantastic inspiration piece –you can Go the distance!
“United We Stand – Divided We Fall” by Two Steps From Hell is another song without lyrics. I’m really partial towards good orchestral songs without music, and this epic song is no exception.
“Skyclad no Kansokusha” by Itou Kanako is from one of my favorite shows, Steins;gate. It has a very “tech” feel to it without being one of those ridiculous synth or techno songs that sounds like robots having aneurisms. I’m fairly good with computers and make a good portion of my money fixing them, so this song does represent me in some way.
“Candle in the Wind” by Elton John is a piece written in honor of Marilyn Monroe. It serves as a bit of a reminder that life is short and can end arbitrarily. It’s sobering.
“Battle Mirai” is like “United We Stand – Divided We Fall” – Another song without lyrics. Not much more to say other than it is epic, and pretty inspirational for when I’m writing.
