I Love Life:
“Joy pops like a bubble, but I love life.” Life is awesome, even if the moments of joy are often brief.
Elle Me Dit:
This song appeals to me because of its upbeat tone, which is slightly at odds with the lyrics. It’s easy to get caught up in the stresses and problems of life, and forget to enjoy it and take the time to let loose; that, to me, is what the lyrics mean by “to dance” being the most important thing the protagonist was told. Life is so precious, yet so short; it shouldn’t be wasted on things thats are only momentarily important.
Elements:
The thing about instrumental music is that I love how I can just get lost in the sound, without the distraction of lyrics which are open to interpretation and moods. The dips and lifts are rather soothing, and I think its amazing that Stirling manages to convey such a broad range of sounds and music genres through string music, which is generally thought of as a more limited genre.
You Are A Tourist:
“When you feel just like a tourist in the city you are born in, it’s time to go.” I was born in NYC, and I love the city. However, I feel that I’m still struggling to really find my place in the world, and that’s what this song is about to me; finding your place, learning to trust yourself, allow yourself to “define your [own] destination,” go out of your comfort zone to reach your full potential.
Sing:
This song just lifts my mood everytime I hear it, it makes me want to go out and change the world and accomplish everything I’ve planned to do. It’s about making your voice heard, speaking out for what’s right, against society, even when the things you have to say aren’t what’s “safe.”
Jump:
This is another song that instantly lifts my mood. It has gotten me through a lot of bad days; it’s about leaving behind the things that drag you down, and jumping into life.
Mad As Rabbits:
P!atD has always been one of my favorite bands, due to their weird lyrics and uplifting tunes. This song is about eccentricity and how putting too much ceremony into your days, and trying too hard for unworthy causes can leave you “as mad as rabbits.”
I’m Never Gonna Leave This Bed:
I tend to get certain lines from songs stuck in my head on an endless loop; “I’m never gonna leave this bed” is a line I think of every morning when my alarm goes off and I prepare for the immense challenge that is dragging myself out of bed.
I Love Rock’n’Roll:
I do love rock and roll, so the chorus of this song definitely applies to me. I specifically like Joan Jett’s cover of this song, for no reason in particular, except maybe that she sings it through a female perspective, thereby making it more relatable to me. This song just makes me feel so energetic and ready to tackle the day’s challenges.
Marchin On:
This song signifies the importance of perseverance.
